Val has FTD (Frontal Temporal Dementia) and Aphasia. Together these make her forget words even though she knows exactly what she wants to say and her response/reactions are childlike. She is very sweet and everything she says is meant in the kindest most heartfelt way. Think of her as though she is a young child asking questions or commenting.
There will be appetizers/ hors d’oeuvres served. Think fruit/veggie/cheese/meat trays. There will also be a CASH bar. If you don't have cash there is a restaurant just outside the room where you can use a credit card. Water is free.
If you need to stay at the hotel please call 913-802-2500 and ask for "The Discher Block" to get the discounted room rate. The hotel will release any unclaimed rooms 10-14 days before the wedding.
