When I started my PD writing and work in Tampa two years ago, I could not find much going on for local Parkies. Sarasota, yes, with Parkinson Place. Hillsborough and Pinellas, not so much.
Today the PD landscape is much different in North Tampa Bay. We have the JCC program, NPF choral and voice initiatives and PDF’s PD SELF training program, the one I am co-faciliatating.
I salute the tireless Darla Freeman for her many program contributions. See her reminder below and do participate if at all possible.
