I am excited to announce that the Alzheimer's Association will have a booth in the (air-conditioned) Varied Industries Building at this year's Iowa State Fair!  We will be using the booth to spread awareness of Alzheimer's and everything the Alzheimer's Association does throughout our state.  We will also be taking this opportunity to promote our Iowa Caucus Project and circulate our petition asking all presidential candidates to prioritize Alzheimer's in their health care plans.

I invite you all to join us in staffing the booth.  We will have our booth from 9am to 9pm August 13th - August 23rd.  Each volunteer will receive a free ticket to the fair and a free Alzheimer's Association t-shirt.  Volunteer shifts are only four hours, and then you will be free to enjoy the fair.

This is a tremendous opportunity to educate the tens of thousands expected to attend the fair this year on Alzheimer's and what you all are doing to help end Alzheimer's!

To volunteer, please click HERE to select the shift, or shifts you would like.  You can volunteer by yourself or in a group.
Please email me (eholley@alz.org) with any questions.

Hope to see you there!

Emily

P.S.  If you haven't signed our statewide petition to presidential candidates, please do so:  act.alz.org/iapetition.  Our goal is 10,000 signatures by November 7th, at which time we will present the signatures to each presidential candidate.
