The Appalachian Memory & Aging Initiative (AMAI), in partnership with Virginia Cooperative Extension, will host a free community Brain Health Workshop on April 14, 2026, at the Pennington Gap Community Center.
This workshop, and others that will follow throughout the region, are designed to help individuals and families across Southwest Virginia better understand brain health, recognize changes in cognitive function, and learn practical ways to support healthy aging.
The event will take place from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM at:
Pennington Gap Community Center
41670 W Morgan Ave
Pennington Gap, VA 24277
Participants will gain valuable insights into:

How memory and other thinking abilities change with age

When memory loss may indicate a more serious concern
Evidence-based strategies to support brain health
Local resources and support services available in the region

The session will be led by Andrea Sartori, PhD, and Kelley Kinder, MA, both experienced clinicians dedicated to improving access to brain health education and services in rural Appalachia.
“This workshop is part of our ongoing mission to bring accessible, community-based education and early detection resources to underserved areas,” said representatives from AMAI. “By increasing awareness and understanding, we can empower individuals and families to take proactive steps toward better brain health.”
The workshop is free and open to the public, and all community members—including older adults, care partners, and family members—are encouraged to attend.

Celebrating Faithful Service
2026-04-19 11:00 - 17:00
I’m coming home to my hometown, Pennington Gap, Virginia, to say thank you. Thanks to my family, and my home church, and the community for having such an impact on my life. After 44 years of full-time Christian ministry I’m now retired and living in North Carolina. When Arlene and I think about how blessed our life has been we realize almost all of those blessings are tied to things we learned and decisions we made way back then. I’d like to invite everyone (Family, Church, School, Friends, and People I grew up with) to join us at First Christian Church in Pennington Gap, Virginia on Sunday, April 19 at 11 AM. My sermon that morning will come from my heart and share how blessed I’ve been from being a part of that wonderful place. We will have a luncheon for everyone after the service.

By the spring of 1776, the rumbling of revolution can be felt across the American colonies and into the far corners of the wilderness. The old Buffalo Trace now symbolizes freedom, though on it a dark shadow grows. For those in the west, community becomes key. Settlements are a beacon of strong will and steadfast determination. The call to unite in the midst of tyranny is heard amongst the whispers on the wind.
Travel to Martin’s Station and experience the growing spirit of independence. Find wares of all types amongst the merchants and tradesmen. Meet the illustrious individuals who traverse the trace and the indigenous peoples they encounter. Immerse yourself in America’s story. Our story.

Schedule: • Friday, May 8; 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.• Saturday, May 9; 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.• Sunday, May 10; 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
