Lady-Links: Celebrating Christmas

Christmas 1
Lady-Links celebrate Christmas and the holiday season each year with a party.  Included guests are our Dear Friends and their spouse or family, our Lady-Links and their spouses, and staff members from our retirement community.  The purpose is to celebrate the season with an event keeping in mind what our dear friends in various stages of cognitive decline will enjoy.  We include delicious refreshments, making ornaments and singing familiar songs within a time frame of one hour.  This makes for a stress-free, delightful time that benefits everyone.

We are grateful for his encouragement and for his leadership in our community’s Alzheimer’s awareness events.
