On behalf of the NFB NOBBL Women’s Group, I would like to thank all who attended the informative session we had on Alzheimer’s and Dementia. We have had some great presenters this year, but it has been the participants questions that have taken these meetings to the next level. Our speaker was Nicole Clagett from Duke University, and she provided some great resources that I have copied below. The link to the recording is below as well. Please remember that you must use the passcode to listen to the recording. I copied the passcode and pasted it in the required field (lazy, but easy!). We invite you to participate in future events. Our next meeting will be focused on women. We will have an end of the year discussion, questions and answers session where we will also plan our topics for 2024. All women are welcome to join us on Monday, December 11<sup>th</sup> at 7 pm. I will send out the Zoom link by December 4<sup>th</sup>.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best regards… Carol King-Ries<o:p></o:p></p><p
