Here are my parents, Cliff and Juanita, on their wedding day, December 18, 1965. This year marks what would have been their 60th Anniversary. So in their honor, in lieu of housewarming gifts, I ask that you donate to any of the Alzheimer ’s-related causes below during this season of giving. Alzheimer’s is a crippling disease that affected my entire family for nearly a decade after my father was diagnosed. The highest donation will also receive a prize.

Causes:

• The Alzheimer’s Association

• The Dementia Society of America

• Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI)
