There is another caregiver conference this week on Wednesday up in Sandy. This conference is all day for those who want to stay that long and covers a wide range of subjects. This is a great opportunity to learn more about how to care more effectively for your loved one and take care of yourself too. Registration starts at 8. The conference is free   unless you decide to have lunch there then the cost is 5 dollars. I attached the flier and registration form for those of you who are interested. Hope to see you there.
