Update on Team COGS Walkers and donations. I am very happy to have our Team participating this coming Saturday, September 23rd at Centennial Park in Ellicott City. Registration is at 9 AM and the Walk Ceremony will start at 10 AM and the Walk immediately afterwards, rain or shine. Felisha Oberly is our Team Leader and I appreciate very much all she has done and will continue to do. We are asking all COGS members that are not participating or have not donated to do so if you are able. You may call me on my cell 443-977-8444 for assistance on how to be a part of this event. Again, this event is not for us but for others that this horrific disease has affected, victims and their families. Thank you.

Join us for the second program in a three-part Living with Alzheimer's for Care Partners series - presented by the Alzheimer's Association Greater Maryland Chapter. (No need to have attended the first session. You're welcome to join us for one or both of the remaining sessions.) Light refreshments will be served.

This 3-part program provides practical answers to the questions that arise in the early to middle stages. Hear caregivers and professionals discuss what you can do to cope with the changes that come with an early-stage diagnosis. What does the diagnosis mean? What kinds of plans need to be made? What resources are available to help? We'll also discuss helpful strategies to provide safe, effective and comfortable care in the middle stage of Alzheimer’s.
