Opening Ceremony and Walk
Don’t forget to stop by our Promise Garden table and pick up the flower that represents your connection to Alzheimer’s. You’ll want to have these during our Opening Ceremony which begins at 9:00am. After the Ceremony, the Walk begins! We’ll have route signs leading you where to go and a map. There will be a 1 mile option and a 3 mile option. Both lead back to the Rec Center.
