Carla Normand Keeps Sunny Despite Parkinson’sTo all who have donated to my GoFundMe Campaign, I want you to know that I would not have been able to consider any of the current therapies if it hadn’t been for YOU! Every donation uplifts my spirit, and enables me to add another piece to this complex PD puzzle. I hope to reach my GoFundMe goal as I continue to explore all avenues I can to control my symptoms. At recent performances, it was wonderful to see many of you. My song choices were varied and I gave it my all - despite my hands shaking. And no, I have not added “Shaking The Blues Away” to my repertoire -- yet. I am grateful that Parkinson’s has not yet stolen my voice ( and it may never ) as I plan on performing with the Royal Society Jazz Orchestra into the future, and participating in the RSJO's wondrous music. Some of you have inquired about my eye-opening journey as I educate myself about Parkinson’s. I’m just beginning to scratch the surface of what is available - research, theories, therapies, diets, herbs, physical exercise, and much more. It is overwhelming. But I do have hope as I attempt to leave no stone unturned in my quest. I’ll keep you posted. Am I Grateful? “Absolutely, Positively, and How!” to quote a well-known 1920s song title. I hope you will consider contributing to my GoFundMe Campaign. I am deeply moved by your generosity. Please share this message with anyone who may like to contribute to my campaign!

Their museum is so interesting because it has on display the artifacts of historic radio days in the Bay Area! There will be a lot to see and hear at this event!
The event will also feature live auctions and sales of vintage Radios and Electronics! Many have been converted to Bluetooth I have been told!
You are invited to also visit their museum which is located across the street from the Veteran's Auditorium!
