Want to make a real, positive difference in the lives of neighbors and friends living with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia? Then consider joining the new Boothbay Area Social Engagement Committee. This committee of volunteers will plan and present one to two social activities for local persons diagnosed with dementia and their care partners in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association, Maine Chapter and the Boothbay Region Health and Wellness Foundation.

You'll make it possible for participants to enjoy guided nature walks, trips to the theater, museum tours and other meaningful social activities.

Learn more by attending the Boothbay Area Social Engagement Committee Training on Friday, Jan. 27 from 2 to 3 p.m. at the Boothbay Region Community Center, located at 185 Townsend Avenue, Boothbay Harbor.
