SAN FRANCISCO--10/23/01-- Beginning this month, Family Caregiver Alliance will publish Al Día, a new, free newsletter written in Spanish for family caregivers.

Caregivers are encouraged to use the newsletter to share their experiences, and stories or story ideas are welcome.

For more information or to subscribe to Al Día, call Jill Nielsen at Family Caregiver Alliance, (800) 445-8106, or send an email to jnielsen@caregiver.org.
