Beebe Medical Center’s Gull House Adult Activity Center started its fundraising early for the Alzheimer’s Association’s Memory Walk with a “Sweetheart Dance” Friday, Feb. 11. The night was filled with fun, dancing, and fellowship for clients, caregivers and friends. The money collected from ticket sales, 50/50 raffle, silent auction and photographs, courtesy of Timeless Images in Lewes, totaled approximately $3,200. This money will benefit the Delaware Valley Alzheimer’s Association. The Memory Walk in Rehoboth Beach will be Oct. 1, 2005, at Grove Park in Rehoboth Beach.
