The Baltimore County Association of Senior Citizen Organizations (BCASCO) joins with the Alzheimer's Association Greater Maryland Chapter to present "Is it dementia or Alzheimer's?" on Friday, March 11, 10 a.m. to 12 noon, at the Randallstown Community Center, located at 3505 Resource Drive, Randallstown, MD 21133. Marlyn Taylor, MSW, leads the discussion. "This is an opportunity to learn the difference between normal signs of aging and dementia which is a debilitating disease," says Taylor.
