AFA QUILT TO REMEMBER

The Alzheimer's Foundation of America wishes to pay tribute to all people who have passed away, or are currently living with dementia, to their families and to their caregivers. In the tradition of the world famous AIDS Memorial Quilt, the AFA Quilt to Remember is the first ever national dementia-related quilt of this stature. There will be no cost to contribute a panel, and if you're not able to physically put a panel together, monetary donations are always welcome to offset the cost of touring the quilt throughout the United States.

The panels, along with your personal story and a copy of your panel maker application (www.alzfdn.org) can be sent to: AFA Quilt to Remember; Alzheimer's Foundation of America; 322 Eighth Avenue, 6th Floor; New York, NY 10001. Panels will be accepted on an on-going basis, and will begin display of the first portion in the fall of 2006. You may also contact me for further information regarding this worthy project. I would like to hear your ideas for your panels, as well as hear your stories surrounding your loved one with dementia.
