Mix Bag of Opportunities

Visiting Volunteers Gathering

Join us at our first Visiting Volunteers Gathering
    
Friday, Oct 11, from 10:30 AM-12:00 PM

Sun-Ray Library
2105 Wilson Ave., St. Paul, MN 55119

Coffee and treats will be served.
 
Deb Bowman, RN, will speak on Alzheimer's Disease and the Caregiver:  Managing Difficult Behavior. Learn how to meet the challenges of difficult dementia behaviors with creativity, flexibility, patience and compassion.


We will also have social time so people can meet each other.

We designed these events to support volunteers who do friendly visiting, hospice, respite, driving, meal delivery, and other roles that support older adults. We also welcome people who are caregivers themselves, and anyone who is interested in the topic. 

Please call Jyni, 952-945-4162, or Email Jyni for more info.
