All About Alzheimer's and Awareness
Through Wristbands

My name is Evelyn Rodgers and I'm a media specialist at my
local library. With the summer upon us, I've been handed the
task to update all of our library guides before the start of the
new school year. I've been working on our Senior Health
guides, and wanted to include information on Alzheimer's disease.
I have some student volunteers helping (they're getting credit
in their classes next year!) and they have given me this page
to review

It's a great overview; I ended up including it so I could show
them their efforts haven't gone unnoticed. I'd love to show
their teacher they went above and beyond this summer.
