CVPSG.PAGE4.ME

We are the Central Valley Parkinson's Support Group

We meet the First Friday of each month except July.

Visalia Unified Methodist Church

5200 West Caldwell, Visalia (corner of Akers and Caldwell)

10:30 am. lunch is served and a $3.00 donation is asked for but not required. We want you to come.

We warmly welcome all who are interested in information and support relating to Parkinson's Disease. It doesn't matter if you have Parkinson's or not, if you are a caregiver or not. Many of our members have family members or friends who are dealing with Parkinson's. So many of our leaders that make this such a wonderful and vibrant group are healthy and willing helpers. We especially appreciate service, donations, stamps, and any ideas on how people can contribute to our group. We are greatful to The Visalia Methodist Church for allowing us to have our meetings in their building, along with so many Christ like acts for our group.

We also welcome speakers on a wide variety of subjects to address our meetings. We ask that they not be selling any product for personal gain. If anyone has any suggestions, Marilyn Swanson would be more that happy to hear about it.

A few examples of previous meetings are: Physician's speaking on latest surgeries and medications, speech therapy, dental care, exercise, diet along with various other topics of interest.

Please come and take this journey with us. Our end destination is a cure for Parkinson's Disease.

The Central Valley Parkinson's

Support Group sponcered a walk to raise funds for the Parkinson's Unity Walk. Our CVPSG team walked on April 30 at Blain Park on South Court Street in Visalia. We walked during the hours of 9:00 a.m. and noon. There were bands, dancers, singers, fun, and food (including A&W root beer floats, Dominoes Pizza, bottled water from Comfort Keepers, and cookies and coffee from CVPSG members)! The Vintage Press, a ***** (five star) restaurant in Visalia, donated box lunches! The path in the park is paved, tree-shaded, prepared for the physically handicapped, and has restroom facilities. Ball caps and visors were available at $15 each.

We are still accepting donations. Checks must be made out to: Parkinson's Unity Walk, and 100% of your donation goes for research! You can mail your donation to Central Valley Parkinson's Support Group, P.O. Box 7314, Visalia, CA 93290.
