August 2018 – Parkinson’s Support Group Mtgs – Guest Speakers/Programs – Northern and Central California

August 1, 2018 By Parkinson's Community Help

Some Northern and Central California Parkinson’s Disease (PD) support groups are not meeting in August (summer vacation or social events).  For those that are meeting, here’s information about guest speakers or discussion programs at a support group near you in August…

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?  As mentioned above, few support groups are not meeting in August (Fresno/Clovis, Lakeport, Millbrae, and San Leandro/San Lorenzo) or have social events (Fremont, Hollister, Lodi, Mill Valley/Marin County, and Soquel/Santa Cruz County).

If a group isn’t listed below, it might also mean that there’s open discussion at the meeting.  Only meetings with guest speakers or programs are listed here.

It could also mean that the guest speaker info didn’t arrive from the group in time to be added here.  Or, 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 this list for the group leader’s contact info.)

Take care,
