Flyers will be available on the table at each meeting that explains the commitment involved in each program. Please let us know if you are interested and we can get the process started for you.
4. Men with PD Support Group: For many years, Men with PD had a monthly breakfast support group. For various reasons, attendance waned and it no longer meets. If there is any interest for a Men with PD Support Group and a volunteer to help get it up and running again, PSGSC would be happy to help.
