Valentine’s Dance Offers Heart to Association

For Cris Suesz, the loss of her father, Charles McQueen, to Alzheimer’s disease three years ago prompted the idea for a Valentine’s Day dance benefit.

“We wanted to do something to remember him and to show him our love. What better way than to do something around Valentine’s Day,” said Mrs. Suesz, who along with her husband, Joe, and family members, have organized the dinner and party in Boone County for the past two years, raising more than $11,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Cincinnati.

The 3rd Annual “Cherish the Memories” Valentine’s Day Dance will be held on Friday, Feb. 15, 2008 at Briarwood Banquet Hall, 2134 Petersburg Road, Hebron, Ky. Tickets are $40 per person in advance; $50 at the door. The evening will feature dinner, music, door prizes, raffles and a cash bar.

All proceeds benefit the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Cincinnati.For advance tickets, contact Cris Suesz at (859) 586-9779 or email: crissuesz@chasseligman.com.

Cutting Out Alzheimer’s

Members of the Ryle High School Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) and the National Honors Society (NHS) organized and conducted a day-long “Cutting Out Alzheimer’s scrap-booking event on October 20, 2007. The event, which attracted more than 160 “scrappers” helped to raise more than $14,000 for the Alzheimers’ Association of Greater Cincinnati. Ryle senior Jake Rouse, the lead organizer, first suggested the event as a way to honor his grandfather who died of Alzheimer’s shortly after the fundraiser.
