Alzheimer Society Of Grey-Bruce Hosts 20th Annual Coffee Break

The Alzheimer Society of Grey-Bruce is marking an anniversary next month.  Its fundraising Coffee Break is 20-years-old.

To celebrate, the agency is inviting everyone who has ever hosted an Alzheimer Coffee Break to sign up again.

And if you have never been part of an Alzheimer Coffee Break, you are encouraged to become a Coffee Break host for the 20th anniversary.

Coffee Break is the Alzheimer Society's national annual fundraiser where friends, co-workers and customers make a donation in exchange for a cup of coffee.

In Grey-Bruce, all the money collected is used in the community to support local programs and services.

More details and sign-up information can be found on the Alzheimer Society of Grey Bruce website.

Meanwhile, the Municipality of South Bruce has set a date for the Mayor's Coffee Break in support of Alzheimer’s.   It's scheduled for Wednesday, August 20th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the council chambers in Teeswater.
