Hi everyone, as many of you may know, we are having an Alzheimer’s Fundraiser to donate to the Alzheimer’s Association. We will be having fish tacos to carry out (3 fish tacos, side of rice, side of salsa, a beverage), for $10 on October 10th at our location on Tanque Verde from 2pm-4pm. Please pre-order tickets by calling (520)749-9200. The last day to purchase tickets will be October 7th. Thank you for all the support!
We worked on two art projects yesterday. We used color bleeding paper for one project. We used flowers and plants for the second art project. Artwork with a side of pretzels. We got really colorful results!

We worked on creating thaumatropes today, they came out really wonderful. A thaumatrope is an optical toy. It consists of a disk with two pictures on each side and when the strings are twirled in a fast motion, it creates an optical illusion, as if both pictures were synced into one.
While this year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s events will be different, they continue to be deeply meaningful. They continue to help raise awareness about the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. They continue to help raise funds that make a difference in the lives of those facing Alzheimer’s. Brookdale Senior Living Inc. continues to be one of the largest corporate supporters of the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. This year, thousands of Brookdale associates, residents, and patients are participating in or supporting virtual walks across the country.

When Jack York, iN2L's co-founder and president, saw that conventional technology was too difficult for most older adults to use meaningfully, he decided to find a way to make it accessible for all levels of physical and cognitive ability.
