✨ Hello & Happy New Year! ✨
We’re excited to kick off 2026 together!

Please note: our January meeting will not be held this week due to the holiday. Instead, we’ll gather on Thursday, January 8 at an alternate location:
📍 Hays Public Library – Schmidt Gallery (1st floor)

🕜 New this year! We’re adding a relaxed “welcoming” time starting at 1:30 PM, giving everyone a chance to connect before our formal education presentation begins at 2:00 PM.

And that’s not all—we’re stepping into the new year with a fresh name that better reflects our mission and our hope to reach even more people in our community and beyond.

💙 Welcome to the Hays Regional Parkinson’s Support Network!💙
We hope to see many of you there and look forward to an exciting year ahead.
