Our Irrational Fear of Forgetting
One of our members shared a great article with us last week while we were at RENO 2011. It addresses what has become a hyper-sensitive topic among the "Baby-Boomer" generation - getting Alzheimer's Disease. We are huge supporters of the Alzheimer's research movement but it stands to reason that all the talk has caused people to become fearful of dementia. What we need to remember is that simply forgetting a name, struggling for a word, or losing track of your thoughts does not equate to Alzheimer's Disease. Please read the article here and give it some thought.
Additionally, RENO 2011 was a huge success. We had 280 attendees including vendors. Unfortunately, we missed a few handouts for you, so, they are available for download here.
