Tipperary Parkinson's branch to host AGM in Thurles

The Annual General Meeting of the Tipperary Branch of Parkinson’s will take place on Thursday, April 4, in The Order of Malta building, Thurles, at 1pm, followed by music at 2pm.

Guest Speakers will be Mr Shane O'Brien, our new CEO, and Ms Una Anderson Ryan from the Mid West Branch and National Treasurer of PAI HQ.

Please come along and support our Branch, and I send out a welcome to all newly diagnosed patients to attend and get to know the members in your area.

It is very important to attend this meeting, and there are a few vacancies on the committee if you or a family member would like to get involved with our organisation.

It is by coming to those meetings and expressing your feelings on the Organisation that the organisation can continue to expand and offer new services to our Branches and patients.

It has become very evident recently that doctors need to be more educated about Parkinson's Disease and the services available to patients, ie. Nurse Specialists, Physiotherapists and Speech Therapy so come along and voice your concerns and be more proactive in our Association.

Thurles Support Group meet on the first Thursday of the month at 2pm in the Order of Malta building, Clonmel Support Group meet on the first Tuesday of the month in Hotel Minella at 11am, and Nenagh Support Group meet every Monday at 2pm in the Pastoral Centre, Church Rd. Nenagh.

Following the AGM at 2pm, we will have music, singing and a cup of tea for everyone.
