The Alzheimer’s Association is offering information and giveaways as a thank-you to past volunteers and to give newcomers a chance to learn about what the organization does.

The staff, along with the new Outreach Coordinator Denise Vann, will be at Thirsty’s Brew Pub & Grill, 2704 Vine, Hays from 4 to 6 p.m. March 5.

The Alzheimer’s Association couldn’t offer the many services and supports it does without the tireless efforts of community volunteers. There are those who are in our office every week making phone calls, putting mailings together, even vacuuming the floor. Others help out at events or speak about their experiences at community functions. Volunteers also lead groups, set up health fairs, and do community outreach calls and visits. What do all the volunteers who help us have in common? They are all helping to further the mission to provide care, education, advocacy, research and support to the thousands of families affected by Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia.

In recognition of those efforts the Central and Western Kansas Chapter would like to say “Thank you!” Whether you’re a seasoned veteran in our volunteer lineup, or are looking to get involved, the group invites you to come by and enjoy snacks and refreshments while they provide information and support to help you find the best place to put your talent and experience to work.

A small thank-you token will be given to past volunteers in recognition of support.
