Caregiver Education Session | "Active Engagement for People with Dementia"

Saturday, December 14 | 9:00-10:30 am | Rooms 209-211

Presented by Susan Ryan, OTR/L, Amherst H. Wilder Foundation

Participation in meaningful activities plays a key role in our health and happiness. Researchers and clinicians support the value of activities as a treatment for dementia. Those with dementia lose the ability to plan, initiate, and complete activities on their own, therefore they need caregivers to plan and carry out these daily activities. Explore health producing activities to enjoy together. For more information about these sessions and the support group that follows Saturday at 10:30 am, contact Mary Cordell at 952.977.9363 or visit the Center’s website https://www.normandalecenter.org/.

“Sound” Advice

Wednesday, Jan 8, 2020 | 10:00am | Sanctuary

Do you struggle to hear in our sanctuary? Do you avoid coming to church because you can’t hear what is going on? Then this gathering is for YOU!! We have heard from many of you that it is very difficult to hear in the sanctuary on Sunday mornings. On January 8, we are inviting a representative from our sound engineering company to perform an acoustic assessment and need your input to learn how to maximize your ability to hear in the sanctuary. Can you hear me now? We hope so! Please come and give us your sound advice! Questions? Contact Susan O’Connell at 952.977.9358/soconnell@normluth.org.
