Share your heart on Valentine’s Day

by Patty Jenkins

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’ “
Martin Luther King, Jr.

This Valentine’s Day, come and share what is in your heart and how you make it through your days living with Parkinson’s Disease; you just might end up helping someone more than you can imagine by sharing your own experiences battling this more-than-challenging disease! The Ventura Parkinson’s Disease Support Group is having one of our Round Table Discussion meetings on Wednesday, February 14th from 1-3pm at the Lexington Assisted Living (5440 Ralston Street, Ventura).

We meet every second Wednesday of the month to learn more about Parkinson’s Disease, the latest research for a cure and better treatments, and also to hopefully learn helpful ways to deal with PD, support each other and maybe even make some new friends! We alternate throughout the year with round table meetings where we get to know each other and share our common challenges and unique coping solutions, along with a variety of speakers and presenters with helpful topics of interest including Movement Disorder Specialists, medical professionals and other professionals who educate us in many aspects about the resources available to help us organize and improve the quality of our lives that are suddenly confronted and changed by Parkinson’s Disease. We welcome all of our members, their care-partners and new friends who find themselves in this battle with Parkinson’s Disease along with us.

Please come and join the Ventura Parkinson’s Disease Support Group for this special Valentine’s Day Round Table Discussion. We will have some really great presenters coming up in this new year, but on this Valentine’s Day meeting, you are the “presenters”!

There is a drop-off/loading and unloading driveway in the front of the. Extra parking is graciously available across the street from the Lexington in the Baptist Church parking lot. Please check in at the front desk for directions to the 3rd floor and sign-in at the meeting. For more information please call me at 766-6070 We are an independent and volunteer-organized group not affiliated with or a part of any other organization or group.
