"It takes as much energy to wish..."

“It takes as much energy to wish

as it does to plan.”

- Eleanor Roosevelt

I don't know about you, but I have my 2023 YEARLY PLANNER freshly pinned to the wall with the entire 2023 event list plotted and accounted for. Did you get your new 2023 calendar?

Let me guess...puppies! No wait, mountain ranges and glassy lakes. No matter the artwork, the important thing is you're able to capture what's coming! And to help you out, here are the dates you don't want to miss between now and New Years!

PARTNER NEWS

“Thanks to the United Way”

Because of the generosity of contributors to the United Way of Walworth County, The Dementia Friendly Community Initiative was awarded United Way funds and ARPA Grants managed by United Way of Walworth County, totaling $20,750. DFCI just one of the 45+ community vetted organizations helped by United Way of Walworth County.

This financial contribution helped Bernadette and Eric Russow purchase two additional trishaw bikes for DFCI, at an increased price of $13,800 each due to inflation, and a second trailer. Bernadette and Eric also noted, “There are a myriad of ways. We would be remiss if we didn’t thank Kunes Automotive.” Kunes is loaning the use of a pickup truck used to pull the trailer to and from the numerous locations.

Please consider supporting the mission of Bernadette and Eric, to create dementia-friendly spaces and promote dementia awareness throughout the community. Bernadette says, “There is a role for everyone in Walworth county with the Dementia Friendly Community Initiative and Cycling Without Age.”
