Hello friends,

I hope you're all doing well and taking gentle care of yourselves.
I wanted to let you know that we’ll need to cancel our support group meeting this Friday at Holy Trinity. I’ll be away attending a family wedding, and I appreciate your understanding.
Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, October 8th, at 10:00 AM at the Gold Country Senior Center. I’m really looking forward to being with you all then — your presence and support mean so much.
In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything or just want to talk.

With warmth and care,
Peps

Good morning,

I want to invite you to the Nevada County Dementia Support Group meetings happening tomorrow morning at the Gold Country Senior Center at 10:00AM and at Lake Wildwood at 2:30 PM. We will also gather this Friday at Holy Trinity in Nevada City at 2:30 PM.

Joining a dementia support group can be incredibly comforting for caregivers and families. These meetings provide a compassionate environment where you can share your experiences, connect with others who understand what you’re going through, and reduce feelings of isolation. You’ll find not only emotional support but also practical advice and resources to help navigate the challenges of caregiving, manage difficult behaviors, and plan for the future. We understand that this journey can be overwhelming, and we're here to ensure you don’t feel alone. Together, we can find strength, support, and understanding in this difficult time.
