In advance of June's Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month, the Mama Joe Project is a community engagement forum of educational outreach on Alzheimer's and dementia, caregiving, and healthy aging.
Core to the evening’s programming is a screening of the documentary “My Mama Joe: Hope & Help,” which explores the family dynamic of caring for a matriarch living with dementia. Audience Q&A with a panel of local experts on the film’s themes will follow the screening. Join us at 5 p.m. for a mini-health fair with local agencies and organizations. Reference guides and other informational materials are available to attendees while supplies last.
This event is perfect for caregivers and family members of all ages since these tend to be multi-generational and, with chronic illnesses like dementia, impact the entire family.
Free and open to the public. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Preregistration is available to those who wish to be part of the dialogue leading up to the event. For more information, call 702.507.3459.
Presented in partnership with the Dream Seeding Inc and the John Hartford Foundation.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
