Caring for someone with memory loss? Alzheimer’s Association caregiver support groups provide a consistent and caring place for people to learn, share and gain emotional support from others who are also on a unique journey of providing care to a person with dementia.

The toll-free teleconference group is held the third Tuesday of each month, from 7:30 – 9:00 p.m., and facilitated by Barbara Bridges, RN, MSN. If you are interested in participating, or for additional information, contact Linda Whiteside at (800) 848-7097 or linda.whiteside@alz.org.

Through our national network of advocates and chapters, we advance research, improve services and care, create awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and mobilize support. Our vision is a world without Alzheimer’s disease.

Elizabeth King, is displaying a series of minimalist-like experimental, figurative, paintings.
Elizabeth paints these experimental, paintings, because she values the music that exists in delicate human
existence and the natural materials, dictate it's own evolving direction. Elizabeth Kings experimental paintings,
indicate conceptual reeds, by the use of contoured figures, playing the flute, and symbolized, by the use of
paper musical scores, and notes, in her underpainting, and by the use of organic materials that present the art
of the flute, in her pallet, of silver, iridescent, bright and natural earth colors.
