The Alzheimer’s Assn. runs a program called Memories in the Making that encourages people suffering from Alzheimer’s to express themselves through art.

The association would like to provide the program in Lawrence and needs one or two volunteer artists to staff a two-hour weekly session. Volunteers do not need to be professional artists but should be compassionate toward people suffering from dementia. The association will provide training.

Last week’s results

Volunteers will be needed in the fall to chaperone youths during the Saturday Nite Main Event at the East Lawrence Recreation Center. Call Andre Jones in the fall at 832-7950.
