Free appetizers and sweets will be served before the presentation.

“I only wish I had heard Patty much earlier in Mom’s journey with dementia. I could have had fewer frustrations and felt like I engaged her in a much more meaningful way. Patty helped me to laugh at things we had experienced. That felt so good. Families should not miss this wonderful and engaging presentation.”

“As a professional working with seniors every day, I learned so much from Patty’s lecture on communicating with those with Alzheimer’s. What a valuable evening! She has great life experiences with clients, is such fun and makes a tough subject accessible for all.”
