The Georgetown Area Parkinson's Support Group (GAPS) monthly meetings are on the 4th Thursday of every month. There is no scheduled meeting for the month of November. In December, we have our Holiday party instead of December meeting.
The monthly meetings begin promptly at 3pm. Our meetings will be either guest speakers, discussion groups or socials. The meeting details are announced here on this website and in our Newsletter.
We are looking for vendors to sponsor a GAPS meeting in 2021!
We do not anticipate to have “in-person” support group meetings for the first quarter of 2021. Therefore, we will continue to have our meetings “online” via the ZOOM platform. We are asking for a $75 contribution that will provide a vendor to be featured and to speak at our three GAPS meetings ~ our monthly meeting, our Caregiver meeting and our DBS meeting! Plus, we will advertise in our emails and newsletter for you! You can sign up now… email:
