Alzheimer’s Society of Halimand-Norfolk
Three passionate presentations were given with the successful recipient being the Alzheimer’s Society of Halimand-Norfolk (Diane Holmes). The Alzheimer’s Society will use the $16,100 raised for the “Music & Memories” Program and the new Art Therapy Program. These programs reach hundreds of Norfolk residents and will inspire those suffering from Alzheimers by giving them the outlet to express themselves, connect with their feelings and emotions while gaining self-esteem. These programs also assist the caregivers as they provide an alternate activity which has long-lasting positive effects.
Presentations were also made on behalf of the Norfolk Senior Support Services (Cynthia Stuart) and Norfolk Women’s Support Services (Lauren Harrington). We encourage these women to let these nominations stand for a future meeting.
