After a wonderful information session with Dolores Cox, the Dementia Friends information team is rolling. The 5 members include Robin Gillis, Keeli McClintick, Sharon McAllister, Cary Walter, and Gini Cunningham. The last 4 held their first session Tuesday, June 19th, at the Pleasant Senior Center in Winnemucca. 7 attendees are now deemed "Dementia Friends". With this completed, the team is raring to go on more community events.
Following the information session and question and answer period, each attendee received their certificate of completion, a decal with Dementia Friend - Nevada for car or shop window, and a lovely bag of Keeli's delicious home-baked cookies.
Patty Ellifritz who was in attendance provided our team with matching t-shirts with the saying: Proud to Be a Dementia Friend. Way cool!!
