Treasurer Classical music has a rich heritage. It has endured because it has broad appeal to both Claudia Zacharek, MD old and young alike. For some it is a night out, for others it is time to immerse Board Members themselves in the arts and culture. But whatever the reason, the Saginaw Bay Al Blinke Symphony will always give you an exciting evening and you may even recognize Paul Chaffee more of the music than you think.

Our goal in compiling this resource guide is to assist these people who are dealing with some form of dementia, their family and friends, caregivers, as well as professionals in locating and using resources in the Bay County Area. Although people commonly use the terms “dementia” and “Alzheimer’s” interchangeably, these two terms do NOT have the same meaning. Dementia refers to a group of symptoms and is not a specific disease. Dementia is an umbrella term for symptoms that affect mental cognitive tasks like memory and reasoning and can impact performance of activities of daily living and communication.
