MEMORY Walk 2005
Where - Huff Park
When - Saturday, Sept 17th,
2005 10:00 - Noon
Registration for the day will begin at 9:30am
The Alzheimer's Memroy Walk 2005 will be Harlan Counties 3rd Annual
walk. Harlan has made an outstanding show at the last two walks
in two ways. First by the particpants that come to walk.
High numbers turned out both years. Secondly, Harlan has made an
outstanding impression by raising donations for the walk. These
donations provide money for research and provide Harlan County with
such things as caregiver trainings, lending library, support groups,
helpline, etc.
This years memory walk will only last 2 hours. There will be
entertainment and various stands set up with such things as braclets
& face painting along with a place for the smaller children to
play. The Memory Walk also has concessions.
