Margaret Tuchman's re-sending Alan Bonander's message on depression was aptly timed. Tomorrow there will be a joint meeting of the San Fernando Valley/ Los Angeles Metro young-onset support groups to hear Dr. Slatkin's rich perspective, which Alan had broadcast so effectively to us. Everyone is welcome to join us: Saturday, November 23rd 1: 00 pm to 3:30 pm Granada Hills Community Hospital 10445 Balboa Blvd. Granada Hills Topic: Depression in Parkinson's and the "Holiday Blues" speakers: Neal Slatkin, MD Medical Director of the City of Hope Parkinson's Disease Center and Matthew Seidman, Psychotherapist Joanne Nelson, founder of "Wellness Interaction Network", arranged for them to come speak. We'll be making an audiotape of their talk and possibly a transcription too which we'll make available if the speakers agree. All the Los Angeles area support groups have been invited to join us. And there will be cookies! The odds are good that at least six members of this list will be in the crowd. (I expect to hear some "Cheers!" and maybe some <giggles>.) Plus David Boots said we could hand out his great grisley turkey poem and his touching letter to his sister. Carole Hilton provided copies of the talks from the Rancho Mirage Symposium. Barbara Patterson's People are well-represented in the Land of the Fruit and the Nuts. Please call me if you need directions or more information.
