our meetings
Our monthly meetings represent the front-line in our war against Parkinson's. Month by month, these meetings allow us to unite and focus our combined resolve and efforts to achieve our mission.
Each meeting usually has 2 major components, Education and Support, with a variety of other things discussed from time to time such as fundraising, exercise, opportunities for community involvement, along with much-appreciated Coffee, Tea, and Goodies.
Education
Knowledge is a powerful tool in our fight against Parkinson’s, therefore a significant part of each meeting is allocated to education. Most meetings are based on a Parkinson related topic/theme that is explored and discussed. Education is always a mixture of both learning and teaching, so all members are encouraged to share their real life experiences on the topic and learn from each other.
Support
No matter what challenges we face in our lives, support from others is essential. Friends, family and other loved ones are invaluable sources of this support. However, for those living with Parkinson’s or caring for someone with Parkinson’s, the group offers an opportunity to share our unique perspective. Our meetings encourage the sharing of our experience and promotes the establishment of connections which extend between meetings.
Fundraising
The group needs money to pursue its mission – that is a reality. At the monthly meetings the group provides the members with updates on current fundraising activities, seeks new opportunities to support local initiatives, and to support the national research agenda.
Where & When
All Nations Church graciously allows us to hold our meetings in their well equipped meeting room. However, due to the COVID-19 restrictions on in-person gatherings, we had to hold our meetings virtually vis Zoom for over 2 years. However, we are re-starting in-person meetings in September!!
