Former governor to speak on Alzheimer's and dementia concerns in Rhinelander tour stop
Schreiber will address community members on Monday, April 17 at 1 p.m. at the Oneida County ADRC, 100 Keenan Street, in Rhinelander. The event is free and open to the public. Registration is encouraged and can be made online or by calling the Alzheimer's Association 24/7 Helpline at 800-272-3900.
"Alzheimer's disease is bad enough, but ignorance of the disease is worse," said Schreiber, who served as a caregiver for his late wife, Elaine, who lived with Alzheimer's disease. "It is so important for people to understand how they can become more involved in changing the course of this devastating disease by gaining access to critical information and services, and learning what they can do to fight Alzheimer's in their communities."
The week of April 16 is also National Volunteer Week and Schreiber, a key volunteer himself, will speak to the importance of community engagement and getting involved in the fight in their local communities by volunteering.
Following Gov. Schreiber's presentation, the Alzheimer's Association will share numerous resources available for local families impacted by dementia. The afternoon program will end with a 30-minute meet & greet with Schreiber.
Schreiber, co-author of the book "My Two Elaines: Learning, Coping and Surviving as an Alzheimer's Caregiver," will also offer a free, signed copy of his book to 10 attendees at every presentation.
