The Lunch Club meets on the first Wednesday of the month at noon with the final Club meeting for 2014 on 3 December. The Club recommences following the Christmas break on 4 February, with upcoming dates of 4 March and 1 April.
Library Books
The Society has a good selection of books available to take out on loan. Please ensure that you take the book to the Administration Assistant (Room 3A), to check out so that the Society can keep track of them. If you have any recommendations on books about MS, Parkinson’s or caring for people with a chronic condition, please let Annette know on support@ms-pd.org.nz or 03 366-2857 ext. 6.
Podiatrist
Podiatry visits are the first Tuesday of the month with upcoming dates of 2 December, 3 February, 3 March and 1 April. The cost for this service is $20 a visit and is significantly subsidised by the Society for our members.
As this service is very popular, it is essential to book. If you make an appointment and find you cannot attend, you MUST phone to cancel otherwise the Podiatrist will charge you for the missed appointment.
To book or cancel an appointment, please contact Annette at support@ms-pd.org.nz or on 03 366-2857 ext. 6.
