Hello All

First of all let me apologize for taking so long to write this blog, a lot has happened in the past two months, and I will try to get it all into a few blogs over the next few weeks, I have a lot of people to thank!!! (it's also hard to sit on the computer with all the beautiful weather!)

So let's back track a bit...

It all started back on Sunday May 23, when I travelled to the small town of Windchester, Ontario to do a presentation for the Alzheimer's Society of Cornwall. The film played a the Old Town Hall, which is a beautiful old building and has a great old theatre where they hold plays and films. Even though the weather was beautiful and it was a long weekend, there was still about 20 people out for the screening.

On Tuesday May 25, Kim, Nathan and I were off to do my first ever presentation in the US. We were on a three day trip to Boston. About a month before I met Shannon Seitz, who's mother has Alzheimer's and is originally from Saskatchewan, but now lives and works in Boston. Shannon is an amazing person, she spends a lot of her free time raising money for the Alzheimer's Association of Boston by running marathons.

Shannon worked her but off to bring me and my family to Boston to present the film.

We stayed at a beautiful B&B near Fenway Park, and had a great three days exploring Boston. The film was screened on Wednesday May 26 at the Studio Cinema in Belmont.

There was a great turnout for the screening and again I want to thank Shannon for all her hard work, and I hope to do a lot more with her in the future!

Finally on May 31 in Montreal I presented the film at the CASWE conference (Canadian Association for social Work Education)

The presentation went really well with about 40 people and the Q&A session was great, because everyone in the audience was interested in the family relationships and how relationships change with the disease. I am always happy to meet different people with different backgrounds and experiences and see how the film effects them differently!!!

Thanks to sharon for inviting me to this great conference!
