Three events will be held through Zoom and are free to the public, though reservations are required. Tickets are available through Eventbrite at winona-garden2021.eventbrite.com.

“We hosted The Remember Project’s virtual production of ‘Steering into the Skid’ last fall,” said Lori Paulson. “The combination of watching a play together followed by facilitated discussion is an excellent way to help create a better understanding about the challenges facing those with memory loss as well as their families and friends.”
