Our support group has been active in SaddleBrooke since 2006. We have covered many topics of interest to those who are caring for, or themselves, handling the tasks of living with a neurological disorder. Our meetings are held on the second Saturday of the month at the SaddleBrooke One Arts & Crafts building, Room 4, from 10 a.m. to noon.
We have two more months until we take a break. We hope you will come to listen, get ideas, and help us gather the newest information to help in your journey.
Meeting dates are April 12 and May 10. Please attend.
