Club Meeting - The Alzheimer Society

The Alzheimer Society of Waterloo-Wellington

Alzheimer's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that destroys brain cells, causing thinking ability and memory to deteriorate over time. Alzheimer's disease is not a normal part of aging and is irreversible.  While Alzheimer's has always been with us, attempts to understand and identify the disease and its impact didn't come about until very recently in human history. The Mission of the Alzheimer Society is: To alleviate the personal and social consequences of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias and to promote the search for causes, treatments and a cure.

January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month and on January 12, Tom Connelly, the Volunteer and Events Coordinator for the Waterloo-Wellington Alzheimer Society, will be our guest speaker providing details on this debilitating disease and outlining volunteer opportunities with the society.
