Symposium Offers Creative Approaches for Everyday Living with Alzheimer's  On October 29, JF&CS will host a free, half-day, interactive symposium for professionals and caregivers. Jointly sponsored by Your Elder Experts - Safe at Home and the Geriatric Institute, and in collaboration with the Alzheimer's Association, this symposium will present current developments in research and practice that offer new ways of understanding and engaging people with Alzheimer's.

SERVICE AWARD  Young Families Program Wins Award and Grant    Healthy Families, a program of the JF&CS Center for Early Relationship Support, has won the Home Visiting Award from the Children's Trust Fund for excellence in providing weekly home visits to participants.	PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT Making Camp Possible     Michal is a hard-working mother of two active girls who grew up in Israel and immigrated to the United States in 1986. One of the fondest memories of her childhood was attending beautiful camps on the Mediterranean Sea each summer. She had always hoped her daughters would be able to enjoy the same experiences.	SUMMER HIGHLIGHT Summer Fun for  People with Disabilities   In June, 16 men and women gathered around a campfire in Western Massachusetts, singing songs, toasting s'mores, and enjoying a starry evening outdoors. It was a typical scene for many, but for these campers it was far from ordinary.

"I wanted to thank you and your staff for all the support and generous donations.
If it was not for JF&CS we would probably be living in our car right now. We are so grateful to your organization and some day we hope to repay the kindness, support,
and help your organization has provided to my family. Thank you for everything.
We will never forget JF&CS as long as we live."
