Alzheimer's Walk

In September, the weekend after we got back from our Labor Day trip to Indy, Matt and I went to the Alzheimer's Walk in Colorado Springs. Colonial Columns Nursing Center (our work) was represented their with a booth. Actually all four of the Sava Senior Care nursing facilities were represented. And we are one of them. I had the early shift of setting up and I talked Matt into coming with me :) He is a good husband. When we got there the Director of Nursing from one of our other facilities, Aspen Living Center, said last year they did door prizes. So Matt and I ran to Wal-Mart quick so we could attract more people to our booth with a door prize. That was really fun! We did a lady prize and a man prize. Matt was particularly helpful with the man prize for obvious reasons. We put a fun Denver Broncos kit together. It drew a ton of attention!
More than we bargained for! Here are a few pics from the day:

Ooh, my favorite park in Colorado Springs! Did you get to play on the playground? Looks like a great day for an outdoor event!

Ha ha. I forgot about your love for the playground, Nicole. No, unfortunately we did not get to do this. We were in a hurry to get to the zoo. But you are right, it was a gorgeous day for the event!
