Knowledge is power

WINNEMUCCA - Aug. 8 from 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. at HGH. Mark your calendars now for the program "Memory Loss, Dementia, and Alzheimer's Disease" presented by Dori Ward. Winnemucca is fortunate to have this special update. Our regular Winnemucca Support Group meeting will begin at noon and then we'll transition to Dori's program. With any luck we will be completely overwhelmed with community desire to learn more about AD and other dementias. RSVP your planned attendance to Dori at (775) 786-8061 or me at (775) 304-2899. Bring your loved one along if you'd like. We'll have volunteers to help as needed. And sometimes being a part of such a meeting brings meaning to the Alzheimer's victim.
