Parkinson's in the Park ... Savannah

 

 

 Back

 

 Have you heard about the “shindig” in Savannah, GA on March 11-13?  People with Parkinson’s are invited to share their stories, their talents and just have some good ole southern style fun.  Just as the “V” is of, for and by the people, so is the “Parkinson’s in the Park Rally and Awareness Walk”!  The people in Savannah are anxious to see the Parkinson’s community in action.  We’ll have a special means to indicate the people with Parkinson’s to John Q. Public so that if they have a question about PD, they’ll know who to ask.  If you’re interested, just ask us in Savannah!  We’re looking forward to seeing everyone. 

 

Below, we have a “near final” agenda for the event.  You are invited to join us…bring the family…there’s something for everyone.  Do you have a craft that you sell?  Do you create art that you just want to share?  Do you want to share your music ability?  If your answer yes to either of these questions…WE NEED YOU IN SAVANNAH!  Either write:
