December 2017 – Parkinson’s Support Group Mtgs – Guest Speakers/Programs – Northern and Central California

December 1, 2017 By Parkinson's Community Help

Only a few Northern and Central California Parkinson’s Disease (PD) support groups have a guest speaker or program planned for December 2017. Lots are having parties and many are not meeting in December.  Here’s what’s happening at a support group near you…

Do you need to know the support group meeting location, day/time, contact info, and how to RSVP if required?  Please refer to the Stanford Parkinson’s website for all Northern and Central California support groups.

What does it mean if a support group you sometimes attend isn’t listed
below?  It might mean that the:

* group doesn’t have a guest speaker or specific program,

* group doesn’t have its regular meeting this month (Brentwood, Pacific
Grove, Millbrae, Stockton, Lincoln, Sunnyvale DBS, Modesto, and Mill
Valley),

* group has a social event (Lodi, San Andreas, Roseville, Santa
Cruz/Soquel, San Lorenzo, Visalia, Napa YOPD, Santa Rosa, Yuba City,
Bakersfield, San Francisco/Kaiser, Palo Alto YOPD, Redding, Fresno,
Auburn, Sacramento Post-DBS, Davis, Hollister, Walnut Creek, and Fremont),

* 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.)

Have a great December,
