The Alzheimer’s Association is offering a free educational class for the general public on Friday, March 1st, at the Atlantic Public Library, 507 Poplar Street, Atlantic, IA 50022. The class, entitled “10 Warning Signs,” will be held from 2:00-until 3:00 p.m. The meeting is designed for you to learn the 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s disease. Organizers will separate myth from reality and address commonly-held fears about Alzheimer’s in America. You’ll hear also from people who have the disease, and find out how to recognize the signs in yourself and others.

Spokesperson, and class facilitator, Amanda Brophy says, “This class will be very beneficial for anyone who wants to know what to look for with regards to Alzheimer’s disease or has questions about Alzheimer’s and dementia. Our goal is to equip our communities with the knowledge, resources, and support they need as they age or continue on the journey of living with this disease. We want to connect them to a community of people who care and understand what they are going through, as well as provide them with the resources and information necessary to understand the disease.”
