SNAP’s 2019 Walk to End Alzheimer’s Team had a great morning on Saturday, November 9, 2019 – the weather was beautiful and it felt good to be there supporting a cause that has affected so many neighbors, friends and families. The SNAP Team raised a total of $2,240 to benefit Alzheimer’s research and awareness-building. Thanks to all who participated and sponsored the Team!

Add these SNAP info-expo educational programs about aging in place to your calendar:
Our information-rich programs offer a panel of speakers on a given theme related to aging in place, and SNAP’s August 5 info-expo session is no exception.

Each panelist (or team) will offer insights related to our theme, “Legacy Planning for the Generations”:
There will be time for questions, an information table, as well as SNAP’s annual ice cream social to cool you off and ease your spirit while learning about these important aspects of aging.

The folks at Handmaker have planned an informative visit for SNAP. A Handmaker bus will depart the LCF parking lot at 10:30 AM, bringing SNAP’s group to the facilities at Grant and Rosemont. The group will return to LCF approximately 2:00 PM.
Handmaker offers several levels of care and services making them a true community. The community campus has five neighborhoods, each with its own character and purpose.
Cydney Turner, Handmaker Director of Marketing/Admissions, has organized SNAP’s tour — planning a fun and informative session, with resources about Handmaker rehab, long term nursing and assisted living facilities. We’ll also hear more about the Adventure Bus.
Lunch! Handmaker is a kosher community — Cydney has reserved the great room for a gourmet lunch featuring a mixed green salad of roasted tomatoes, carrots, red onion, toasted barley and rosemary mint dressing. The main course will be pan seared halibut, mashed red lentils, wilted spinach and tomatoes, and whole grain mustard cream sauce with potato gnocchi and grilled vegetables. There is a flourless chocolate torte for dessert, not to be missed, with iced tea, lemonade, regular and deaf coffee.
After lunch, time permitting, SNAP will tour one of the assisted living apartments.
Please register early — Space is limited.
