"I Remember Better When I Paint"

The Rotary Club of Westborough and the Westborough Council on the 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 Disease 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 Disease, 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 will, and to those who, through heredity, will become future patients of this disease. Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion with:

Police Dept Press Release

On 4/7/10, at approximately 4:45 PM, the Westborough Police responded to the intersection of Adams Street and Mountainview Drive for a report of suspicious activity. The report was for a male who was operating a dark colored sedan with dark tinted windows. The operator was in his 30’s, white male, muscular with a goatee.

The reporting party was a 14 year old female who was walking her dog. The vehicle stopped and the operator asked the girl her name and then stated he was looking for his friend’s house but couldn’t find it. He then asked the girl to get in the car to help him look. The girl knew this was strange and backed away from the vehicle. She then walked home and reported it to her parents.
