NARFE July
If you haven't had the chance to register for the national NARFE Walk to End Alzheimer's® team, you still have time! This year's Walk may look a little different, but we remain dedicated to ending Alzheimer's and encourage you to join in! The health and safety of all of our constituents are our top priorities. We won't have any large, in-person events — instead, we invite you to walk in small teams of friends and family while others in your community do the same. We're all still walking and fundraising for the same thing: a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia. Join the NARFE team today!
