The Alzheimer Society of Huron
County as they prepare for their
ninth annual Coffee Break
fundraiser.
The official date is Tuesday, Sept.
21 but any day in September is just
fine to host a Coffee Break event.
The Society is beginning its quest
for enthusiastic and creative people
to host coffee breaks all throughout
Huron County. Simply invite
friends, neighbours, colleagues and
clients to "take a break" and make a
donation to the Alzheimer Society
of Huron County.
If you were a home host last year,
or held a bfeak at your place of
employment, it is hoped that the
Society can count on your support
again this year.
Last year 113 Coffee Breaks were
held throughout Huron County.
Hosts welcomed friends and
colleagues and raised more than
$15,000.
Every new event means new
people are being reached with the
Alzheimer message.
Ninety per cent of money raised
during Coffee Break stays right here
in Huron County to help the
Alzheimer Society provide
education and support for persons
with Alzheimer disease, their
families and care givers. The
remaining 10 per cent raised is
designated for research.
If you want more information on
how you can host a Coffee Break,
contact Theresa Wilson at the
Alzheimer Society of Huron County
at 482-1482 or 1-800-561-5012.
