Jan 2019 – Parkinson’s Support Group Mtgs – Guest Speakers/Programs – Northern and Central California

January 2, 2019 By Parkinson's Community Help

Happy New Year!  Only a few Northern and Central California Parkinson’s Disease (PD) support groups meetings have speakers or discussion programs planned in January 2019.  Plus there are PD seminars in Fresno and Sonora this month.  See the list below of what’s happening 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?  Generally, it means that there is no speaker at the meeting.
So, it’s an open discussion format.  Several groups do not meet in January (see list below).

It might 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.)

These groups do not meet in January:  Millbrae/Magnolia, Placerville, San Francisco DBS, San Francisco YOPD, and Santa Rosa (Sonoma County).

Best wishes for a bright 2019,
Robin Riddle
