Men's Group donates TV

Men Emerging as Caregivers support group members found a need and filled it. “I told the men the chapter needed a new TV and DVD player because ours had just died,” said Pam Richmond, Family Services Coordinator and group facilitator.

Together, the group raised the funds within a month to purchase a new LG 47” HDTV and DVD/VCR combo for the Alzheimer’s Association Mid-Missouri Chapter’s office. Staff members now use the technology for educational and Board presentations. “The new system is wonderful. We’re delighted to work with such a caring group of gentlemen,” said Linda Newkirk, Executive Director.

“We’d do anything Pam asked us,” said Tracy Robb, group participant. “I knew everyone in this group would chip in.”
