Heads Up for Healthier Brains

Date: June 18, 2010 
Time(s): 10:30 to 12:30 am 
Location: First†Metropolitan United Church Room 119

How often when we forget a name, or forget what we went into another room to pick up do we worry that we are beginning to lose our minds! This happens to all of us at some time and is usually due to having too much on our minds at that moment. However, quality of life is enhanced when we can maintain our cognitive abilities. It is never too soon, or too late to make the lifestyle changes necessary to help improve your brain health. Come to a presentation by Christin Hillary, Support and Education Coordinator, Azheimer Society of BC. Her presentation will be followed by a light lunch. The event is free, but please register through the church office
