Alzheimers Conference / AIDS COUNCIL Fundraiser

My best friends mom (who's like my aunt) was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease.

Her mom knows there's something wrong - she's fierce and proud and is struggling to hang on.

There are 4 daughters in the family, spread out across the country. Coming to treatment consensus can be challenging. Being a care giver is challenging. That's why the Alzheimer's Assn. sponsors a caregivers conference every year. It's set for Monday from 8-4 at the Desmond Hotel. It's a chock full day - great speakers, tremendous amount of information but perhaps best of all, caregivers can come together and swap strategies or just look around the room and know they are not alone.

If you're interested in attending call 518-438-2217 ext 210 .. if you need help in a pinch the hotline is 1-800-3900 .. it's 'hot' 24/7.


on a side note: The AIDS COUNCIL OF NENY is hosting it's annual BEAUJOAIS NOUVEAU wine tasting .. you get to taste the just released Beaujolais Nouveau for this year. The event is Thursday from 6-9 at the Franklin Plaza in Troy. if you're interested call 518-434-4686 ext. 2499 or email at http://www.aidscouncil.org/ ..
