Memory Care Corner: The Theory of Retrogenesis

Lori Petersen Montevideo Area Memory Loss Network (MAMLN) For those who have been following my Caring Bridge site (Lori J Petersen), you are aware that after having two clear PET scans, I did have a spot show up on the most recent PET scan taken on July 1. A biopsy on that spot, did show it to be cancerous, so I am once again fighting a battle of the unknown.

Notes from the Granite Area Arts Council

Come one, come all to a welcome party! Our new Community Artist in Residence, Leah Cook, would love to meet as many people as possible at a riverside reception held at Memorial Park’s shelter on Thursday August 25th from 6:30-8:30 pm. There will be refreshments, activities for kids, and myriad opportunities to chat with the artist and CAIR 2.0 staff members about what you’d like to see art accomplish in our community this autumn. If you can drop by for all or part of the event, we’d love to have you there, rain or shine.
