Join us for a day of education, resources, games, and
an indoor picnic with no ants allowed!

Guest Speakers:
“Welcome to the Club Nobody Wanted to Join, Living Well with Parkinson’s”
with Keynote Speaker, Bryce Perry. Drawing from more than 15 years of
living with Parkinson’s, Bryce shares his personal story with honesty and
humor, while addressing both motor and non-motor symptoms, including
cognitive challenges that are often the hardest to talk about.

“Is this Parkinson’s or normal aging?” Amy Larocca, MA CCC-SLP, a
speech-language pathologist with 20 years of experience, will answer a
question she receives often related to thinking skills. In this interactive
presentation, she will also provide practical tips for supporting brain
health and strategies to increase success in your day-to-day life.
