Chicago Caregivers Expo

[Guest guest]

Hello to fellow Chicago area caregivers.

Wanted to let you all know about an upcoming Caregivers Expo that is being

held May 31, 2006.

It is being sponsored by Chicago CAREgiver magazine.

Date: Wednesday, May 31, 2006

Time: 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Place: Drury Lane, Oakbrook Terrace, IL

I attended last year and there was a wealth of information. I think that I

read there were 90 booths. Some of them were nursing homes, elder law

attorneys, hospice organizations, Alzheimer's Association, Am. Parkinson's

Disease Association, companies that have products to make caregiving easier

and many more. There are also presentations throughout the day on variety

of caregiving topics. More information on the expo is at

http://www.caregiverexpo.info/

This year Lewy Body Dementia Association will have a booth. Stop by the

booth and see us!

The entrance charge is $5.00 but I have tickets that I can send you so that

you will not have a charge. Send your name and address to gwen_ross@...

and I will send you tickets.

In case you haven't seen Chicago Caregiver magazine visit their website and

sign up for a free issue or if you attend the Expo, you will get a special

issue. The Sept./Oct. 2005 issue was dedicated to " other " dementias and

Lewy Body was 2 pages of the article. Unfortunately it isn't on line. The

website is http://www.chicagocaregiver.com/

Hope to see many of you there.
