Memory Care “Sing Along”

Three members, representing our club visited two local memory care facilities. Due to Covid 19, our traditional group “sing along” turned into delivering a Karaoke style Christmas DVD. While missing the interaction with the residents, we were able to keep bringing the joy of singing and music by giving an opportunity to enjoy a special “sing along” for the holidays. Experts have confirmed that music–especially singing is really helpful to those suffering with Alzheimer’s or related dementia.
Treat bags with chocolate candy were also delivered to each facility for residents and staff members to enjoy.
A special request for materials for a group Fall craft project was also honored at one of the facilities.
Additionally, a few members raked leaves for a grateful Mobile Meals recipient in celebration of our club’s 50 Years of Altrusa Mobile Meals and Make A Difference Day.
