 Tuesday, April 13, 2010 at the Westborough High School Auditorium

The Rotary Club of Westborough and Westborough Council on Aging cordially invite you to a screening of the documentary film "I Remember Better When I Paint." This film by Eric Ellena and Berna Huebner, presented by French Connection Films and the Hilgos Foundation, and narrated by Olivia de Havilland is the first international documentary about the positive impact of art and other creative therapies on people with Alzheimer's and how these approaches can change the way we look at the disease. Among those who are featured are noted doctors from Boston University and Yasmin Aga Khan, president of Alzheimer’s Disease International and daughter of Rita Hayworth, who had Alzheimer’s, and former Westborough resident Skip Curtis.

"I Remember Better When I Paint" shows the revolutionary effects of treatment for Alzheimer's patients and brings important information to Alzheimer's patients and those who love and care for them, and to those who, through heredity, will become future victims of this disease. The Westborough screening “welcomes home” the Skip and Meg Curtis family who, in 1996, moved to New Hampshire to run a Bed and Breakfast Inn. Skip Curtis was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and is a patient at the Boston University School of Medicine’s Disease Clinical & Research Program. Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion with: 
 
Meg Curtis, Innkeeper, caregiver to Alzheimer’s patient Skip Curtis featured in the film, along with her children, and, Robert Stern, PhD, Boston University School of Medicine, Associate Professor of Neurology and Co-Director, Alzheimer's Disease Clinical & Research Program
