Wonder if there is anyone on the list now that would write to us

about the meetings in Englewood Co. in Oct. We have two sons there

that I sent the message onto and they would like to try to attend the

meeting so they can learn more about what (their father) has

and

is dealing with. They have not seen us since he was dx'd in 98/99

and

we have been sending them as much info as we can. We are also

planning

a trip out there...sometime soon I keep hoping to see them..and maybe

we would be there on one of the Friday meetings you have.

Anyway, please answer on the list or privately to us.

Thanks,

and Hanson

Greetings to & Hanson!

The Denver MSA/SDS group meets on the 2nd Friday of each month, 10:00AM -

12:00 Noon, at the Adult Day Center, 3444 S. Emerson St. (near

Swedish Hospital). The facility is WC accessible -- just check at the desk

and ask to be directed to our meeting.

We would be pleased to have your sons join us for a meeting. Several

children of our members have met with us, and we appreciate their interest.

Certainly, if you are in the area, it would be a treat for us to meet you,

as well.

Our meetings are quite informal, and we always make sure there are beverages

and goodies. Occasionally we have special guests as presenters, but just as

often we use our time together to compare notes, share helpful info on meds

and caregiving tips, etc. Sometimes we split into separate caregiver and

patient groups for part of the meeting. It's a congenial group, and none of

us likes to miss a meeting!

The Parkinson's office in Denver offered help in getting us started two

years ago, and continue to meet with us. There long experience in operating

support groups was helpful to us.

If there are others who think they might be interested, or if you have any

questions, do feel free to contact me.

Hoping to meet the Hansons!
