JULY
Dementia Friendly Tea
This month was our annual Tea. Most of us came with our cute sundresses and fancy hats. The talk for the event was truly inspiring, thanks to Angela Burrow who delivered a captivating presentation on the concept of a dementia-friendly community. Angela's talk shed light on the importance of creating an inclusive environment that supports individuals living with dementia. Prior to the presentation, we were treated to a delectable brunch, which was made possible by the generous sponsorship of Erin Welborn, of Green Box Solution. It was a delightful experience, enjoying a delicious brunch while engaging in thought-provoking discussions about dementia care. Angela's insightful presentation, the beautiful china, the delightful attire, and the scrumptious lunch truly made this event a memorable one.
A dementia-friendly community is a place where people with dementia are given the understanding, respect, and support they need. It can be a city, town, or village that is aware of and knowledgeable about dementia. In such a community, individuals with dementia are able to live their lives according to their own preferences and in the community of their choice. The goal is to create an environment that promotes inclusivity and provides appropriate assistance and resources for those living with dementia. By fostering a dementia-friendly community, we can ensure that individuals with dementia are not only accepted but also able to maintain their independence and quality of life.

Kenny Curry, a worship leader and co-caregiver (with his wife Tara), provided an exceptional gospel performance as part of the caregiver's entertainment. He skillfully showcased his talent while being accompanied by drummer Hughes Crisp. The audience thoroughly relished the breathtaking music and it brought immense joy to everyone present.
Everyone enjoys good music
The fellowship is always wonderful
