Grand Portage hosts "Sharing the Caring" conference

Being a caregiver for a loved one is rewarding, but it also can be difficult. The Grand Portage Elder Nutrition Program is inviting community members to an event especially for caregivers called “Sharing the Care” at the Grand Portage Lodge on August 27 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
 
During the event, caregivers will learn about topics such as dementia, nutrition, health and wellness and more. There will be information booths, speakers, and some fun interaction with other caregivers, as well as breakfast, lunch, and snacks throughout the day.
 
There is no charge for the event. To register or get information about transportation, call Carol Hackett or Polly James at 218-475-2655. On-site registration is welcome, but organizers would like an idea of how many people will be in attendance, so pre-registration is appreciated.
 
WTIP’s Rhonda Silence spoke with Elder Nutrition Program Director Polly James to learn more about ENP and the conference. Here’s their conversation.
