MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OCTOBER 2014

The opportunity to share, to learn and to reach out to others desperately seeking support and information is what our Parkinson’s Support Groups are all about; a loving community of like-minded people, all interested in Ultimate Quality of Life for everyone in attendance. Our support group schedule is in full swing and attendance is outstanding. At many of the meetings we have unveiled a video “ROAD TO THE CURE: Parkinson’s Game Changer” which was found to be very motivational, inspirational and leaving the attendees with renewed hope. If you have the opportunity to stop in at any one of the scheduled meetings, you will be welcomed with open arms.

Watch for our monthly update: The ROAD TO THE CURE to resume next month.

Every month we are privileged to share new information, articles and insights with our website visitors and our newsletter readers. Please take a moment and discover the pearls of inspiration and information found in the following articles:
