Valley City – The Sheyenne Valley Memory Café will host its next gathering on Thursday, September 25, 2025, featuring a special presentation on Preparing for Emergencies with Nicole Klefstad Johnson of ND Aging Services and Beth Olson of the Alzheimer’s Association of Minnesota and North Dakota.

Emergency situations—such as extreme weather or evacuations—can be especially challenging for individuals with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Caregivers need a clear plan and the right supplies to keep their loved ones safe.

The presenters will share practical tips for creating emergency kits, preparing for heat or cold, and planning ahead for situations that may arise suddenly.

“When a crisis hits, preparation makes all the difference,” said Beth Olson. “Our goal is to help caregivers feel more confident and ready to respond.”

Doors open at 1:00 PM, followed by the presentation at 1:30 PM at Faith Lutheran Church, 309 4th Street NE, Valley City.
