Alzheimer's Report

July 2008

In last month's newsletter I wrote about the Alzheimer's Association's annual fundraising event, The Memory Walk. It will be held on Saturday, October 11, on Treasure Island, starting at 9:30 AM. I mentioned that the Memory Walk drew 7,000 participants from all over the Bay Area last year. This year they hope even more folks will decide to participate in the Memory Walk event. In past years, Chapter 65 has managed to pull together a group of members to participate in the Memory Walk event. I think we can do it again this year if we start to plan for it now. If you'd like to lead the effort to put together a team of Chapter 65 members to participate in the 2008 Memory Walk please give me a call. The Alzheimer's Association has staff that is expert at organizing groups and they'll help you through the process to make it happen. Many people will thank you for stepping forward.

The chapter wishes to publicly thank and acknowledge the generous contribution to the Alzheimer's Association from our member Isai Kaufman, as well as the generous contribution from member Robert Castleton to the NARFE-Alzheimer's Research fund. As I mention in every newsletter, if you wish to make a donation to support programs and services to individuals and families coping with Alzheimer's disease, as well as supporting research efforts to find a cure, please make your donation check payable to "Alzheimer's Association". On the other hand, if you wish your donation to be used solely to support research into finding a cure, please make your check payable to "NARFE-Alzheimer's Research" To ensure that your contribution is correctly acknowledged as coming from a NARFE chapter 65 member, write "NARFE - Chapter 65" in the memo section of your check. Mail your contributions to me at  875 Sanchez St., San Francisco, CA 94114; I'll then forward you donations to the Alzheimer's Association.
