Opportunity to learn about Alzheimer’s

Al came to the door and I forgot his name! 
We know lots of jokes about Alzheimer’s, which is a form of Dementia, but if you have this disease or live with someone that does, the jokes don’t seem quite as funny.  On June 17th, at 7:00 pm Stephen Ministry will host Mr. Stephen Campbell from the Chelsea Chapter who will help us to understand a little more about this wide spread disease.  It is estimated that 5.4 Million Americans suffer from Alzheimer’s. It is the 7th leading cause of death. 172 Billion dollars in cost and 10.9 million unpaid care givers are just a few of the growing statics.  To learn more about Alzheimer’s and how you can recognize the symptoms come and join us for this informative discussion.
