The KGCL fall meeting is October 20th

Please join us for our fall meeting on Thursday evening, October 20th at 7pm.  We will be at King’s Grant Baptist Church (873 Little Neck Rd).  Look for signs that will direct you to the meeting room near the back of the church building.  Our guest speaker this month will be from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).  So, you wonder why this is relevant to you … good question.  Actually, this topic was suggested by one of our members.  We probably all know someone – family, neighbor, co-worker, friend – who struggles with some aspect of mental illness.  Many people find it difficult to know how to approach persons that exhibit signs of illness.  Our speaker from NAMI will touch on topics that include:

• Myths & truths about mental illness
• Signs to look for in loved ones
• Helpful conversations to have 
• Suicide – what to watch for, what to do
• Stigma – how to combat it
• NAMI’s free programs for people living with a mental health condition and their family members

We will also present our budget for the year.  It includes a contribution to the tree replacement project in a portion of the median of King’s Grant Rd.  Come to find out more.  If you have not been to one of our meetings, please come and meet your volunteer Officers and Directors.  And, we’d like to meet you!
