Join us for our Fall Parkinson’s Symposium & Caregiver Conference
The first part of the event will be the Symposium, while the second half will be the Caregiver Conference. Please feel free to come to either part of the event or the entire event. This event is free, just purchase your own food and drink. We will have our amazing sponsors and silent auctions available for you to look at and bid on. (We take cash, checks, and credit cards.) This year’s silent auction includes some wonderful items including Christmas items and gift cards. So, please come, enjoy the speakers, and check out the silent auctions and the sponsor tables. There will also be time after each speaker to ask questions and we hope to have an amazing exercise break. And, if you’re one of the few people who’ve never eaten at MCL, you should join us for lunch; their food is great and the desserts are amazing.
