The community is invited to stop by Knox Church in Georgetown to make a donation or bid on silent auction items between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Previously hosted by the Scrapbook Studio, the day includes a scrapbooking marathon with over 40 participants who have collected donations from friends, family and co-workers. Last year's fundraiser raised $15,200 for CAShh. That brought the four-year total to more than $45,000 donated from Crop for Cancer events. Hospital hosts seminar on bedwetting Parents and caregivers of children are encouraged to attend a free seminar, Your Child's Bedwetting Problem, on Thursday, April 19 at 7:30 p.m. at the Georgetown Hospital in the Activity Room. This program is presented as part of Halton Healthcare's Living Healthy public education series. Lida Jones, RN, Pediatric Surgery, Urology & Enuresis, Childrens' McMaster Hospital, Hamilton Health Sciences Corporation, will be presenting. Attend to learn about the causes of bedwetting, how to know when bedwetting needs to be treated, and what treatment options are available. · 15-20% of five year olds and 7-10% of seven year olds wet their bed affecting more than 200,000 Canadians over five years of age. It is more common in boys. The causes of bedwetting include: · more urine produced at night time than the bladder can hold; · slow development of bladder control; · deep sleep; · lack of the ADH hormone; · emotional/behavioural issues. Since this can affect a child's self esteem and can interfere with their social activities, treatment should be considered. To reserve a seat for this free seminar, call 905-338-4379 or email elittle@haltonhealthcare.on.ca. If you are unable to attend this event, but would like more information on this topic you are encouraged to speak with your physician. Plays to highlight dementia Halton Region and the Halton Dementia Network are hosting two performances about dementia, I'm Still Here and One More Memory: The Story of an Amazing Lady with Alzheimer's Disease on Monday, April 23 in Allendale's Auditorium, 185 Ontario St. S. in Milton, at 6:30 p.m. There is no charge to attend the performances, but registration is required as seating is limited. The play, I'm Still Here is based on experiences of persons living with dementia and daughters whose mothers were diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. ACT II Studio performs the play, which is a theatre school and creative drama centre for adults over 50 at Ryerson University. One More Memory: The Story of an Amazing Lady with Alzheimer's Disease aims to achieve three things: recognize that early diagnosis is of the utmost importance; inspire others to accept who they are today; and realize that it is possible to create many more memories in spite of the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. To register to see the performances, or for more information, call 1-866-442-5866 ext. 8518, TTY 905-8279833, or visit the website www.halton.ca.
