A Light to Remember

The Alvin A. Dubin Alzheimer's Resource Center and Fox Electronics held the tenth annual "A Light To Remember" ceremony for Alzheimer's on January 24, 2008. This annual event was created to help raise awareness about Alzheimer's disease and related memory impairments and raise much-needed funds for the Alvin A. Dubin Alzheimer's Resource Center. Friends and families of Lee County residents with Alzheimer's disease or a related disorder gathered at dusk in Centennial Park to honor and remember their loved ones who have experienced this devastating disease. Over 1,200 luminaries, which were purchased by friends and family members in honor or remembrance of their loved ones, surrounded the water fountain and lined the sidewalks in the park.

Special thanks to our sponsor, Fox Electronics.

Brushstrokes From The Soul - Art Show

In recognition of National Alzheimer's Awareness Month, the Alvin A. Dubin Alzheimer's Resource Center holds an art show featuring drawings by individuals experiencing the various stages of Alzheimer's disease. Brushstrokes From The Soul features art created by individuals who receive services from local assisted living facilities, skilled nursing centers, day stay programs, and retirement communities. During the month of November, the art is displayed at Robb & Stucky Interiors in Ft. Myers. All of the artwork is professionally matted and framed. Select pieces are available for purchase via silent auction at the art show event.

Corporate and business sponsors who contribute to the Dubin Alzheimer's Resource Center's annual fund raising campaign are recognized at the event

"Our annual awareness event gives us the opportunity to highlight the therapeutic benefit of creative arts programs for Alzheimer's persons and to raise awareness about Alzheimer's disease and the services we offer for memory impaired adults, their caregivers, and professionals," said Dotty St. Amand, Executive Director of the Alvin A. Dubin Alzheimer's Resource Center. "Our goal at the Dubin Alzheimer's Resource Center is to educate the public regarding the disease, while offering outreach and support programs to help families and caregivers."
