Hagerstown Parkinson’s Support Group Picnic, September 15, 2017

The Hagerstown Parkinson’s Support Group held its fall picnic on September 15, 2017.  Twenty-six persons associated with Parkinson’s Disease enjoyed the day at Martin "Marty" L. Snook Memorial Park.  The weather was perfect for the outing and everyone enjoyed fried chicken from AC&T accompanied by a variety of dishes and desserts provided by the participants.  The host, Art Guyer, welcomed the group and awarded a number of prizes including 10 nice mums.  The co-host, Dean Cook, called bingo for the group, giving away about 30 wrapped prizes brought by the members. 

Attending the picnic were:  Art and Doris Guyer, Dean Cook, Mike and Marci Saterbak, Ecile and Ragan Shaw, Bill Storms, Jay and Betty Stouffer, Chuck and Aura Bihun, Hugh and Linda McSweyn, Vi McConnell, Marie Fogarty, Talia Valencia, Charles and Betty Martin, Edie Johnston, Chet and Rose Fabijanski, Judy and Sam Fiery and Gloria and Carl Rith.

The Hagerstown Parkinson’s Support Group meets once a month on the first Thursday at 11:45 AM at the Western Sizzlin’ Restaurant in Hagerstown, MD.  Anyone associated with Parkinson’s or even just interested in learning about the disease is welcome to attend.  A variety of speakers help educate members throughout the year.  In addition to the regular monthly meetings, the group holds a Caregivers’ Breakfast on the third Monday of every month at the Hagerstown Family Diner, bowling once a month, and other activities.
