Fundraising Event for Local Alzheimer’s Chapter To be “An Affair to Remember”

Guests at the Alzheimer’s Association’s annual “Making Memories” wine tasting and auction will enjoy learning about a selection of Brown-Forman fine wines, and will have the opportunity to bid on luxurious auction items. The event will be held at Horseshoe Casino in Southern Indiana on Feb. 18.

Based on the theme, “An Affair to Remember,” the fundraiser will feature wine tasting, dinner and live music. Among the items up for bid is a South African safari.

The event benefits programs of the Alzheimer’s Association’s Greater Kentucky & Southern Indiana Chapter, including the 24-Hour Helpline, Medic Alert/Safe Return Program, Family Support Groups and respite for caregivers. See www.alz.org/kyin.

The Making Memories 2011 Honorary Chairpersons are the Mudd Sisters, a local group of women who are champions in the fight against Alzheimer’s Disease. The sisters’ mother, Trudy Mudd, has suffered from Alzheimer’s for nearly 20 years.
