Jules Gauthier, a zydeco dancer and supporter, died a couple of years ago from complications of Alzheimer's disease. Since his death, his family has been involved with the Alzheimer's Association. On Saturday, September 20, 2008, Mr. Gauthier's family will be involved in a Memory Walk in connection with the Alzheimer's Association.  Memory Walk is the Alzheimer's Association's signature event for awareness and fundraising. Since 1989, Memory Walk has raised more than $225 million to help fight Alzheimer's and help those currently living with the disease.

The Alzheimer's Association, the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's research and support, is advancing progress in prevention, treatments and an eventual cure and provides support for all those affected by the disease. Memory Walk is a noncompetitive walk, and a festive event for families, coworkers, and friends of all ages.

Please join us in taking steps to end Alzheimer's. The family has set up a team Web site for raising funds for the cure of Alzheimer. Please click here to visit their site.

I thought you might want to know that our Zydeco dancing
friend Vernon Davis had a bad fall recently and fractured
his hip. He has been spending lots of time at home recovering. I'm sure he'd appreciate hearing from any of his Zydeco
friends. I've included his address below (with his
permission of course) in case anyone would like to send a
card or note to wish him a speedy recovery.
I'm happy to say that the most recent report is that he
is doing a little better now, but it looks like it will be a
long time before he's back dancing with us. Maybe we can
encourage him to come sit on the sidelines when he feels up
to it. Anyway, just thought people would like to know as
Vernon is such a steady supporter of our Zydeco
events and has many friends in the community.
