Marshall MN - Fortune Cookies

Join our effort to raise awareness and fight the stigma of memory loss. This virtual Remember Project event for the Marshall area is part of our Summer 2021 tour. Watch the short play "Fortune Cookies," and participate in the Dementia-Friendly Communities movement, learn about resources in the Marshall community, and meet with others who are interested in learning more while supporting those who live with dementia.

Mona, played by Sherry Pearce, has a great idea! This vibrant octogenerian is determined to be the first to know if her recall is slipping beyond what can be considered normal, age-related memory loss. An unexpected visit from her son David, played by Darrell Johnston, reveals that she has cooked up a way to help herself and others be on the lookout for the early stages of dementia.
