July 2014, Guest Speakers/Programs at PD Support Groups in Northern and Central California

June 30, 2014 By Stanford Parkinson's Community Help

Many Northern and Central California Parkinson’s support groups have guest speakers or programs planned for July 2014.

Please see the Stanford APDA website for the meeting location, day/time, contact info, and RSVP details (if an RSVP is required or preferred) for all Northern and Central California support groups:

http://parkinsons.stanford.edu/support_groups.html

What does it mean if a support group you sometimes attend isn’t listed below?  It might mean that the group doesn’t have its regular meeting this month, or the group is having a social event.  Or it might mean that this month’s meeting doesn’t have a guest speaker.  Or it might mean that the guest speaker info didn’t arrive from the group in time to be added here.  Last but not least, it could mean that I messed up.  If you are not a regular attendee of a group, it’s always a good idea to call the group leader to confirm the meeting!  (See the link above for the group leader’s contact info.)

Happy summer,
