July 28    1PM   "Digestive Issues and Parkinson Disease" presented by Leslie Matson.  a physician assistant with Sentara Neurology Specialists in Virginia Beach, who is passionate for caring for patients suffering with Parkinson's disease.  Digestive symptoms are very common in PD, and those with this disease probably wonder why they occur and if there is a link to why PD occurs at all. 



August 25   : Picnic at Outhouse Park, 2550 Outhouse Road, Canandaigua, NY from 11-1PM     

Because of our continued concern regarding the CoVid Pandemic, we will not be bringing a "dish to pass". Instead, we ask that you bring all you need for your own lunch, main food items, beverage, and supplies.  We have not seen each other since March 2020; thus, we thought this a good time to join at an outdoor venue. Please, feel free to wear masks even if you've been vaccinated if you are more comfortable doing so.
Those who have not yet been vaccinated, we ask you definitely wear a mask for the protection of others and yourself.  Call for any
questions.  585-624-1448 (Gail)
