We invite you to join us for a special viewing of the film SPARK: Robin Williams and His Battle with Lewy Body Dementia.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A with David Zucker, Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley, NY Chapter, and Dr. Jason Cohen.

Refreshments will be served.

Admission: $18
Free for Members
