"Maximizing Your Memory"
Learn what memory is and how your memory works. This seminar will discuss what simple things can be done to improve your memory. Find out what normal memory loss is and what it is not. Discover when memory loss should be investigated further with your physician and become informed about some of the current medications used for memory loss, Alzheimer's and the various other forms of dementia.

What do we do? We coordinate Fellowship Hour as well as social events for the congregation such as the Fall Welcome Back Brunch; All Church Picnic and Winter Soup Tasting Potluck.
The Committee is looking to coordinate our traditional events, and to hopefully start some new traditions. Many in our Congregation have asked for more social activities to interact with others in our church family, and we are hoping to achieve just that. If you are interested and/or have suggestions, please join us at our next Congregational Life Meeting on Sunday, March 20th at 11:45 (following Fellowship Hour). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Chris Daly.
