Other very exciting news! The Bangor Memory Walk was recognized by the National Alzheimer's Association as being a top performer in the category of "Dollars Raised per Participant". The 2007 Bangor Memory Walk was such a huge success that we were invited to be recognized at the inaugural Memory Walk SuperSTAR Symposium January 3 and 4 in San Diego! The symposium was an opportunity for chapters to celebrate successes, share best practices, and start the 2008 Memory Walk season off on the right foot.
