April 16, 2024 – We are celebrating Parkinson’s Awareness Month by GOING ON A PICNIC! Arbors at Vista Living (3731 Del Rey Blvd.) has invited our support group to join them for a picnic in their backyard! We will hold our regular meeting (9:30 to 11:45) at Arbors and enjoy street tacos and visit with each other and with the white pony with blue eyes, goat, ducks and rabbit. We would like our members to brag on themselves and share either their proudest achievement or happiest moment. It doesn’t have to be a long speech—just a few sentences so we can get to know you better.
