Information posted May 4, 2013
Our May 2013 Chapter Community meetings will be held as usual in both Milton and Burlington. The same topic will be featured at both locations.
We will have a very interesting and informative speaker from the Alzheimer Society of Hamilton and Halton who’s theme will be:
“Brain Health” This presentation will focus on ways to keep your brain active and healthy.
Our Milton meeting will be held on Wednesday May 8th at the Seniors Activity Centre, 500 Childs Drive, Milton
Our Burlington meeting will be held on Tuesday May 28th at the Seniors Centre, 2285 New Street, Burlington.
Our meetings at both locations will be held in the evening. Doors will open at 6.30pm and the meetings will take place between 7.00pm and 9.00pm. Coffee and tea will be available.
Both meetings will begin with a welcoming address from our Chairperson, Tom Carrothers.
Tom will also provide an update on your CARP Halton Chapter and CARP National activities.
This will be followed by our keynote speaker Karen Robins from the Alzheimer Society
We have all heard the expression “use it or lose” and unfortunately that can apply to our brain particularly as we age. In this presentation you will learn about ways that can keep your brain active and healthy. You will also discover how playing a few simple brain games will go a long way in keeping your brain healthy and having fun in the process.
There will be a break midway through the meeting during which you will be able to chat to our presenter and to obtain information from our sponsors, see below.
We will be very pleased to welcome the following sponsors. We would like to thank them for their support. They will all have tables where you will be able to chat with their representatives and pick up additional information.
