The Bridge Alzheimer’s & Dementia Resource Center is hosting a special Valentine’s event on February 11 for caregivers and their loved ones affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia.
The luncheon event, “That’s Amore!” takes place at The Bridge’s upcoming Second Saturday Workshop, on Saturday, February 11, at 11:00 AM at Broadmoor Presbyterian Church. The menu will consist of a “Taste of Italy” created by Joe Fertitta, a retired local restauranteur. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 318-656-4800.
“It’s difficult for a caregiver to enjoy a meal out without worrying about their husband, wife, parent, or grandparent who has dementia,” said Paulette Freeman, Executive Director of The Bridge Alzheimer’s & Dementia Resource Center. “That’s why we’re planning this special Valentine’s lunch so that those affected by dementia may have an opportunity to enjoy a special meal out together.”
Sponsors will receive publicity before, during, and after the event. Sponsorship funds will help to pay for food, supplies, and other needed items to make this an enjoyable event. Several sponsorship levels are available: Big Pizza Pie Sponsor (Gold), $200; Cupid Sponsor (Silver), $100; Vita Bella Sponsor (Bronze), $50. If you would like to sponsor the event, please contact The Bridge office at 318-656-4800 by February 3.
