Benson Area Memory Loss Network

Updated 2021 | Status: Active

About our Action Community

Benson Area Memory Loss Network, BAMLN, recently offered the Remember Project Tour to Benson and surrounding towns. The remember project consists of three very different plays about memory loss. Initially the plan was to show 3 different live performances about memory loss with conversation after the performances. Due to COVID restrictions the performances were done virtually on Zoom. This allowed the performances to be offered more times on multiple days with the ability to reach people/families all over the country.

BAMLN has been providing education session/events in the community since 2012. Our goal is to hold events twice a year for the community and we are always looking for speakers, topics, ideas to present to the community, caregivers and providers.
