This is the description of the program sponsored by the Knights of NJ:
 

Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness and Respite Care Support

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive, degenerative, neurological disease that affects the brain and results in impaired memory, thinking, and behavior. Persons suffering from this devastating disease may require much supervision and assistance with daily living activities. It is not just those with the disease who suffer; the continual demand for care can create emotional and physical stress for caregivers. “Respite” (meaning a short period of rest or relief from something difficult) is for the care-giver, and “Care” is for the person with Alzheimer’s disease. This program is designed to help family caregivers learn about and experience the importance of respite care services.

The program provides families with supportive counseling and direct financial assistance to obtain some relief from the heavy demands of caring for someone 24 hours per day.

Families utilize the assistance for home health care, adult day care, and short-term residential respite.

2023 Council Awards Dinner @ St.Anthony Church Parish Hall
Dec 15 @ 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm

We will have a ‘Fraternal Night’ type gathering on December 15, 2023 at St. Anthony, beginning at 7PM.  Agenda to follow.

At our gathering we will have a brief prayer service, present council awards for ‘Knight of the Year’, ‘Family of the Year’, and any special recognition awards.  We will have excellent food from La Casa Formoso.

Tickets for our 50-50 have been mailed or emailed  that will be drawn that night.   Since we have not been able to hold our usual fundraising events, the raffle is very important to us financially.  I hope you will participate.  You may buy the tickets yourself and sell them to friends and family.  If you choose not to participate in the 50-50, I hope you will consider a donation to the council in support of the event. 

All checks should be made out to ‘KOFC 9021’ and returned with raffle ticket stubs by our council meeting on Dec 12 to:

2024 Alzheimer Drive
Oct 26 @ 8:00 am – 6:00 pm
 
At this time of the year many Knights councils in NJ conduct a ‘Shake the Can’ drive to support Alzheimer’s victims and their caregivers.  Monies are collected, consolidated by the State KOFC and distributed.  
 
Past Grand Knight Dr. Ciro Scilingo coordinates our effort annually.
 
We are planning our Annual Alzheimer’s Fund  for Sat. Oct 26th weather permitting.  We usually do 2 hour shifts starting at 8am till 6pm but even if you can only do 1 hour we can use your help !
 
If you can help us with this worthy cause (8-10, 10-12, 12-2, 2-2, or 4-6) 
please contact me by email, phone (201-664-8359) or TX (201-321-3381).
I prefer the phone or TEXT message because sometimes the email goes 
to spam and is missed.
 
Thank you all in advance for your help
Sincerely,
Ciro
