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.
