Aging and Disability Resource Center of Dunn County presents “Fortune Cookies” on June 15
The Remember Project kicks off a summer of live events with a June 2022 – NW Wisconsin tour in partnership with Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of Dunn County. Over the course of two weeks, nine performances will take place, June 15 from 3:45 pm to 6:00 pm at the United Methodist Church, 2703 Bongey Drive, Menomonie.
Written by Bonnie Dudovitz, “Fortune Cookies” is her first play. In it, the character of Mona is a high-energy entrepreneur who always has a project on the front burner. She is the life of the party and her enthusiasm is both funny and charming. Mona admits that she has treated other people with dementia in the same way that she fears they might treat her.
“My mother has dementia and has been in a memory care facility for almost four years,” said Dudovitz, who is based in the Twin Cities. “She was always afraid of ending up with dementia, as are so many people, especially when they see it around them.”
“Our ultimate goal,” said Danette McCarthy, founder of Remember Project, “is to assist community members and leaders consider new ways to think about memory loss and to become aware of local resources that support families who are dealing with a diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease.” This program is free, and includes a complimentary meal along with the play and community conversation. Registration is required and seating is limited.
Hosted by Aging and Disability Resource center of Dunn County, the program is also sponsored by Mayo Health System. To learn more or register for this free event, please register via Eventbrite at https://nwwi-fortune2022.eventbrite.com or call 715-232-4006
