Nancy said that the dance group has and everyone is smiling.
Singing Group: Kathy reported there were 10 people at the last singing session. The venue seems to be large enough to hold 11 people. Everyone is very positive about the class.
Outside Caregiver Group: The group is still meeting at East West Restaurant Second Tues. of the month. All the people in the group feel it'’s beneficial.
Brochures: The new brochures have arrived and the Board is very pleased the printing. They will be added to the New Member packet and Members will distribute them to different facilities in the community .
Database: Gloria made a new Database form which will ask the new include their Health Care Provider. Sandy will email existing and have them respond listing their Health Care Provider by email. The phone tree callers can ask their members on the phone. This is to be used as evidence for the need to bring a Movement Specialist to Sonoma County.
Fundraising: Nancy said she'’d like to prepare a “Press Package”. It include information about the Dance Class that could be printed local papers and magazines. It could also include information about people can donate to our organization.

Nancy brought information about a UCSF conference in San Francisco on Oct.
24. Sandy will send out an email to members.
Program for Nov. 7
There is no speaker scheduled for Nov. 7. We'’re going to do an email and see how many people would be interested in having a meeting devoted to the sharing of Handiwork/Hobbies/Collections, etc. as well as Helpful devices for People with Parkinson's.
We'’ll see what kind of response we get and decide if we have enough
Interest from the membership to go forward. Members can display their models, handmade items, collections, photography, painting, etc. If they have an idea for some item that has been helpful to a person with Parkinson's, they should bring information on how to purchase it.
There was a short discussion of including a raffle. No decision was made.
