I am working with speech therapist, Mary Jo Cartoni, on developing a monthly speech and voice club for those of us with Parkinson’s Disease who need ongoing help.
Please help us spread the word by distributing this information to those who might benefit.

· Are you frustrated when people ask you to repeat?
· Do your family and friends ask “What?” even before you finish what you are saying?
· Does the whole world seem deaf?
If you answered “Yes” to these questions, please join us in forming a club for those with Parkinson’s Disease who are interested in improving their speech and voice. The club is geared to those who have completed Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT)® and are interested in maintaining their progress.
The facilitators of the Club are speech-language pathologists, Mary Jo Cartoni, MA, CCC-SLP and Courtney Kelly, MA, CCC-SLP.
Join us for the Club’s first planning meeting on:
Saturday, January 9, 2010 from 1:00 PM–2:30 PM
Location: Exempla St. Joseph Hospital (ESJH) at 1835 Franklin St. Denver, Colorado in the Russell Pavilion in the Volunteer Rooms A & B
Directions: Enter ESJH from Lafayette St. (near the emergency department). Check in at the security desk and tell them you are there for the PD Speech and Voice Meeting. They can provide directions to the Volunteer Rooms. Take the elevator or the stairs up one floor. Rooms are located near the grand piano. Free valet parking is available.
