Participate on the Wayne County Walk to End Alzheimer's planning committee and help plan the upcoming Walk to End Alzheimer's that will take place on Saturday, October 6, 2018 at Wooster High School. The meetings will meet monthly and they will last about an hour. The committee is structured around subcommittees such as team retention, team recruitment, marketing and outreach, logistics and so on. Depending on your interests you will be divided into a subcommittee to assist with that area of planning for the walk. Responsibilities outside of the meeting will include assisting with tasks whether it is phone calls to past teams, dropping off walk information around the community, etc. For more information on how to get involved contact Bernadette Duffy at bduffy@alz.org or 234-284-2749.
