June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness month and a program set for this afternoon will focus Alzheimer’s, dementia and related topics.

That’s Greg Woods, the Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias Coordinator from the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services.

The program will begin at 5:00pm this afternoon at the Charles City Public Library.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia and is a progressive disease that affects the parts of the brain controlling thought, memories and emotions. Though Alzheimer’s disease mostly affects older adults, it is not a normal part of aging.

For more information on this afternoon’s program, go to https://hhs.iowa.gov.

Chris was born in Webster City and raised in Charles City, which basically means he’s been corn‑fed and radio‑bred since day one. As a kid, he was always caught singing along to the radio — and while he’ll tell you he’s great at karaoke, let’s just say the audience’s ears often file a noise complaint. When he’s not busy butchering ‘80s power ballads, Chris enjoys starting overly ambitious home projects that rarely make it past the “great idea” stage. He lives in Charles City with his endlessly patient wife Vicki and their kids, Brynlee and Jaxon, who have already perfected the art of the eye‑roll every time Dad cracks another “dad joke.”
