The Memories in the Making Art Auction and Reception was a sell-out in 2009! Help make the 2010 event be an even greater success!
Memories in the Making (MIM) is a creative art program, sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Association, WNY Chapter, for individuals in early or middle stages of Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia. Through their art, participants are able to express with drawing, painting and colors what they may not be able to express with words. Currently 18 facilities throughout Western New York participate in MIM.
On February 19th, 2010, the 6th Annual Memories in the Making Art Auction and Reception to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association, WNY Chapter will be held from 6 – 8:30 p.m. at Asbury Hall at Babeville (341 Delaware Avenue in Buffalo).
