When weather changed the dates of Support U Seminar: A Crash Course for families with aging loved-ones, it also shuffled a few other details. Like which session is offered which day. But the valuable information to support persons who have assumed responsibility for aging or ill loved ones is consistent - and Lutheran Social Services of the National Capital Area welcomes members at a single- or both-sessions. To register, go to new registration link www.surveymonkey.com/s/KV6QX5T .
