Allan O'Meara, who is a laughter coach, will be joining us to talk about his work with elderly seniors who have dementia and other related disabilities, and how touching and holding them is one of the most important aspects of his work. Marian Cohen will be talking about her volunteer work with her dog Molly who is a qualified St. John Ambulance therapy dog. Marion and Molly visit seniors and children at BC Children's Hospital. There will be light refreshments, but a bag lunch is also suggested.
