Letter from the Publisher
Summer Camp.
Come on, you remember! Hiking, swimming, canoing, sweating, silly games, ridiculous songs, snakes, practical jokes and SkinSo-Soft. Making lifetime friends that you swear you’ll write to but somehow never do. Building fires, making s’mores, picking on the camp counselors. Fun times. Arts and crafts. Red rover. Who knew there was such as thing as glow worms? Having kids is like one continuous camping trip, now that I think about it. This issue is also about my other most favorite topic in the world - the creative culture. Joseph Chilton Pearce once said “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.” Truer words I’ve not heard. Artists put themselves out there in deeply vulnerable ways. They process their thoughts through their craft and allow the world to see what they’ve done without filters or explanation. Most folks go through life working very hard to keep appearances. What I love about creatives is that the best ones care the least about what other people think. They just are who they are and that’s that. Since opening Webz | Art on February 5, we’ve had the privilege of promoting some local artists and I could not be more proud. Their spirits permeate their works and the more I get to know them, the more I understand why arts education is so critical. And the more grateful I am that my kids enjoy a town and a school who get it, too. So, friends, do this one thing for me: support the arts. Go to gallery openings, watch the marching band, bid on art at fundraisers. Your interest and enthusiasm are what keep us going. I won’t keep you. There’s a whole magazine of creative joy waiting for you to pick through!

The Fair on the Square began in 1976 when the Collierville Twentieth Century Club chose to participate in the U.S. Bicentennial celebrations in towns around the country. This year is our 41st Fair. Join us May 7-8!

The Fair began as a gift to the Town of Collierville from the Twentieth Century Club and continues to be so. The town benefits in two ways. First, every year on the first weekend in May, citizens of Collierville and surrounding towns and areas can enjoy a family-oriented fair. Parking and admission are always free. The Fair is open 10-6 on Saturday and noon-5 on Sunday. Approximately 170 vendors set up tents, booths and trailers on Friday night when the square is alive with activity after the streets around the square are closed at 6 pm. The Fair officially opens at 10 am on Saturday with the opening ceremony. Fairgoers can browse through the booths to find all kinds of handcrafted items such as children’s clothes and toys, jewelry of all sorts, leather goods, candles and soaps, t-shirts, art, wood and pottery items, home and garden decorations, pet items, coasters with local town and college decorations, and plants and flowers. After shopping, fairgoers who are hungry can choose from corn dogs, nachos, chicken-on-astick, barbecue, hamburgers, crepes, fried chicken and catfish, cotton candy, sno-cones, and other traditional fair foods. Many people take their plates of food down to the depot by the railroad tracks to watch the non-stop entertainment from local groups of singers and dancers, children’s choirs, martial arts demonstrations, bands large and small, and solo artists. Children always have a good time, too. They will find pony rides and a petting zoo, a train to ride, face painters, and children’s games. The Collierville Twentieth Century Club is proud to give local artists and entertainers a venue to showcase their talents. But the Fair is more than just a weekend of fun for families. The Collierville Twentieth Century Club began in 1950 as a group of civic-minded women who wanted to work for the betterment of Collierville. Today, the Fair is the club’s one fund raiser. The money raised by booth-space sales is returned to the town through financial grants. The club is very fortunate that this year’s 18

sponsors of the Fair – the Town of Collierville, Mercedes-Benz of Collierville, Kroger, Pepsico, and the Commercial Appeal/Collierville Weekly -- will cover the expenses of the Fair so that all monies raised are available for grants and club programs. Last year the club funded $22,000 in grants to local educational and non-profit organizations. Teachers in all Collierville schools submitted requests for classroom and extracurricular materials to enhance their teaching. Non-profit groups such as the Literacy Council, Page Robbins, the Collierville Animal Shelter, the Friends of the Collierville Library, the Wigfall Grays, and others also submitted requests for materials to aid their programs. Over the years, the club has returned over $300,000 to the town and its citizens. In addition to grants, the club funds a scholarship and a cash award to graduating seniors at Collierville High School, and encourages good citizenship of school children by providing certificates to every elementary and middle-school class for the teachers to present to two students and providing a plaque to each middle school to present to their best citizen. The CHS art department encourages their students to paint pictures of the square for the Fair on the Square poster contest. The annual Fair on the Square represents what is best in small-town living in the best small town in America. ______________________ by Anne Smith Collierville Twentieth Century Club

Art on Learning The Effect of
Your refrigerator, and no doubt your home
or office walls are covered with your children’s precious art work. At Goddard, our classroom
walls are always covered with child art. But how does art affect learning? According to the 2009
Neuro-Education Initiative of The Johns Hopkins University School of Education, “researchers
found ‘tight correlations’ between arts training and improvements in cognition, attention and learning.”
Creative art motivates and engages
children in learning, stimulates memory,
facilitates understanding, enhances symbolic communication, promotes relationships and
provides an avenue for building competence.
Encourage art at home as a family activity.
• Get out the art materials and create projects together;
• Create drawings on the computer with 24

one of the many fun early learning art
applications online, and share the drawings with the children’s grandparents;
• Be creative with recycled materials. You can build a bird house from boxes and
wood or a robot from cardboard, leaves and twigs.
• Create your own special family “art time” when televisions and phones are off and you have fun gathering supplies from around your home (string, cardboard,
crayons, paints, any extra materials) and being creative!
The children will be learning a lot and you will be creating wonderful family memories.

Residents enjoy a class at Collierville Yoga, located on the historic town square.
It’s probably not on your calendar, but World Yoga Day took place on February. 24. As more people have discovered its healthful benefits, yoga has grown in popularity. But whether or not you practice yoga, you can apply its lessons to other areas of your life — such as investing.
CAN INVESTORS LEARN FROM
Yoga Followers?
Specifically, consider the following yoga-related themes and how they might translate into investment habits that may be beneficial:
Balance — If you observe advanced yoga practitioners,
you will be amazed at the balance they exhibit during certain positions. But for serious yoga students, the idea of “balance” goes beyond physical movements and extends to a concept of life that emphasizes, among other things, an avoidance of extremes. As an investor, you too need to avoid extremes, such as investing too aggressively, too conservatively or too sporadically. By building a balanced portfolio, and by investing regularly, you can help improve your chances of making progress toward your financial goals.
Flexibility

— Our own thoughts and actions
are largely responsible for creating our happiness and success, according to yoga teachings. And positive thinking can play a key role in investing, too. For
example, if you were to constantly look at negative
headlines, you might conclude that it is pointless to invest for the future because external events — economic
instability abroad, political squabbles at home, natural disasters and so on — will just disrupt your plans.
Consequently, you might decide not to invest, or invest in such a way that can make progress toward your
financial goals difficult. But if you maintain a positive
attitude, you may be more inclined to invest wisely for your future.
— Among its many benefits, yoga helps people increase their flexibility — and greater flexibility results in fewer injuries and an increased capacity to enjoy many physical activities. As an investor, you need to be flexible enough to adjust your portfolio as needed while still following a long-term strategy that’s appropriate for your individual goals, risk tolerance and time horizon.
Visualization — In yoga, visualization is often used
Relaxation — For yoga students, proper relaxation is

essential to achieving mental equanimity, emotional balance and inner strength. But relaxation doesn’t always come easily — even experienced yoga practitioners need to work at it. As an investor, you also may need to train yourself to relax because, given the ups and downs of the market, it’s not hard to become overwrought and make ill-advised decisions based on short-term events. Staying calm and maintaining a long-term view of things may help you make better investment decisions.

to reduce stress. At any given time, you might find it
difficult to relax, but you can use your imagination to see yourself — and put yourself — in a relaxed state.
As an investor, you need to visualize your goals, such as a comfortable retirement, before you can define
a strategy to help you work toward them. By seeing
yourself where you want to be, you’ll be motivated to
Try putting the principles of yoga to work — they may help you become a better investor.

On February 12, a joyful announcement circulated around town. On the heels of being named “America’s Best Main Street” in 2014 by Parade Magazine, we received a Valentine’s gift from Main Street America, a division of the National Trust for Historic Preservation: Collierville is among 6 “Most Romantic Main Streets in 2016.” Citing “century old magnolias and Southern hospitality,” Preservation Nation suggested guests stay at the Stratton House Bed and Breakfast before heading to Square Beans for breakfast and the Silver Caboose for lunch.

Brian Thurmond, will bring his FrenchSouthern flair to the Square, opening 148 North this spring. There are
rumors that several other restaurants
will follow Thurmond, but details were not available at press time. Suffice it
to say, however, the Square as a dining destination will continue to escalate. New retailers on The Square
include Jack Anna Beanstalk, a

Don and Michelle Hailey began their pottery business based on faith, love and a nickname. Michelle’s father affectionately called her “Turtle” as she was growing up. Later supplemented by “Aunt Shell,” the name ultimately morphed into “Aunt Turtle Shell” - and it stuck. She felt it the perfect title for their quirky little pottery studio they built to support ministries in which the couple are involved. The idea began when Don saw a potter’s demonstration as a child. In 2011, he began reading books about the craft and took private lessons with his wife. They combed Craigslist for a couple of potting wheels and began the process of trial and error with their new hobby. Customers loved them and began purchasing them right away. The bottom of each piece is inscribed with a favorite Bible verse and their signatures to reinforce the purpose of the endeavor. A few of the ministries they support include K-Love radio, Food for the Hungry (where they support 6 Nicaraguan children, one for each of their grandchildren), EPICC Ministries with Pastor Mike Nelson and Mercy Ministries helping young girls recover from eating disorders, sex trafficking and more. While they occasionally sell their products at fairs, their products are available exclusively at Square Beans Coffee. They credit Kelli and Walt Geminn, owners of Square Beans, and Laura Todd with Main Street Collierville for their success. Aside from this endeavor, Michelle is a 19-year registered nurse in the cardiac cath lab at Methodist LeBonheur and Don is a 27-year firefighter/ paramedic with the Town of Collierville Fire Department.

Elena is a food artist, plain and simple. Beginning in her mother’s very modest kitchen in Russia at the young age of thirteen, Elena first learned to ice cakes with a butcher knife until a family friend made custom cake decorating tools for them by hand. In 2002, Elena met and married Mark Foulks and in 2009, she moved to the United States, becoming a citizen and opening a world of entrepreneurial opportunity. She refined her skills over the years, working at other bakeries and taking courses at local craft stores. She claimed Best of Show at a cake competition in Nashville, giving her the confidence she needed to open a bakery of her own in 2010 in City Center Shopping Plaza. “Oh my gosh, we can’t think of a name!” said Mark as the two worked to find a name suitable for their endeavor. “Oh My Ganache, that’s perfect!” replied Elena. Today Oh My Ganache! Bakery serves a host of other confections including cupcakes, cookies, pastries and more with a special knack for special event and wedding cakes.

An opening reception was held on March 12 at the Morton Museum of Collierville History. Advanced art students first studied images taken by Bessie Dean Parr, a female photographer from the early 1900’s who owned a studio in her husband’s dental office above what is now Hewlett & Dunn on the Collierville Town Square. Guest speakers to their classes included Katie Parr (a descendent of Bessie), Ashley Carver (from the Morton Museum) and Ron Olson (artist in residence). 40

We spoke with students Jamey Ryan, Brianna Bloss and Kellie MacFeggan, all 8th graders at Collierville Middle School. “Their lives were very different,” Brianna shared, “but surprisingly still very similar.” “They had much to figure out,” continued Kellie, “such as trade along the Mississippi River, growing food, and many other things kids today know very little about.” “When I saw the two sisters coloring, that’s when I connected to their time since that is something we would see today,” said Jamey. Jo Powers, art teacher at Collierville Middle is clearly very proud of her students. “They really spent a lot of time digging into the history of these images, imagining life during that time, and carefully considering ways to communicate the correlation with collage,” she said. “My hope is that through exhibits like this, we can not only give something back to the Town that is so deeply supportive of arts in education, but also appease students into visiting art galleries and museums.” The exhibit is available through April 14 and features a slide show of Parr’s photography. Admission is free and open to the public.

The Arts in Our Schools
Keith Salter, High School Theatre Sherry Fuller, High School Band Britta Hall, Middle School Strings Jennifer Harants, Elementary School Arts
TELL US ABOUT YOUR AREA AND WHY YOU FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE WHOLE CHILD EDUCATION MODEL. KS: As a theatre teacher, I know that the dramatic arts fosters analytical skills, teamwork and communication skills. Theatre encourages students to think outside the box and to explore beyond their comfort zones. SF: Band and orchestra are important because they provide an outlet for creative problem solving. Music encourages collaboration; we are individuals who have to play as one instrument. BH: I teach string orchestra instruments to middle school students. Music education teaches students things that they may not have access to in their other classes and home life, both academically and emotionally. JH: I teach elementary art. When the students enter my art room expecting to make ‘pretty pictures’, they quickly learn that creating art takes concentration, imagination, problem solving, and teamwork. WHAT ARE THE EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL BENEFITS OF BEING PART OF YOUR PROGRAM? KS: I think students involved in Drama (performance and technical) are better communicators, more colorful, interview better, and have more of an appreciation for art, music, the cinema, history and technology. SF: Educationally, we encourage creative thinking in the students. Culturally, band and orchestra exposes students to genres outside of pop music.

BH: Academically speaking, students learn pattern recognition, a mastery of memorization, and show higher development of language and reasoning. They develop empathy towards other cultures. JH: In the classroom, we study art from around the world. This helps the students begin to have an understanding and appreciation for other cultures, which they may not otherwise be exposed to. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE GOALS AND DREAMS YOU HAVE FOR STUDENTS THAT TAKE PART IN YOUR PROGRAM? KS: Believe it or not, working professionally is not my supreme objective. My objective is to foster an appreciation for the theatre that will create discerning adults who patronize and appreciate live theatre. Working professionally is a cherry on the sundae! SF: I would like for all my students to be life long learners and musicians. I hope that all students are able to use their instrument to get a college scholarship and that they continue to play throughout their life. BH: My goals for my students is music literacy, technical accuracy on their instrument, and a lifelong love of music. I want them to be able to play their instruments correctly and continue playing throughout their life. JH: My hope is that students who come through my classroom leave more confident in their own artistic abilities and have an appreciation for the arts.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE PAST EXPERIENCES DEALING WITH STUDENTS IN YOUR AREA THAT STICK OUT IN YOUR MIND? KS: The actor who, despite having only mediocre talent, excelled because of his determination and work ethic. The young lady who did not sing well, but brought audiences to tears with her song because of her emotional conviction. The smiles on casts’ faces with each standing ovation make the hard work worth it. SF: Travelling and performing in competitions and clinics, attending concerts, football games and hours of bus rides to Saturday Competitions, performing in places around town, and so much more. BH: I recently ran into a former student, who is currently teaching music to special education students. I hope that all of my students allow music to be what they need to express themselves and channel their energy into positive outlets. JH: It gives me great joy when I hear the students teaching and encouraging each other. Of course my all time favorite is when the kids draw pictures of us together. I especially love how they draw my curly hair! PROVIDE A SHORT BIO ABOUT YOUR PROFESSIONAL CAREER. KS: Keith Salter is in his 16th year as Director of Theatre at Collierville High School. He recently performed as the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz and Charlie Anderson in Shenandoah. Keith appeared in
an Oscar-nominated film, 21 Grams, starring Sean Penn, Benecio Del Toro, and Naomi Watts. He is flattered to be named CHS’s Teacher of the Year for the second time. SF: Sherry Fuller is a native Memphian with more than 20 years of experience as a music educator and musician. Her experience includes successful private studios in Tennessee and North Carolina. Recognized through the years as a Disney Teacher of the Year Nominee and Grammy Foundation Teacher of the Year Nominee, Mrs. Fuller continues to follow her passion of music. BH: Britta Hall has taught in the Collierville community since starting the orchestra program for Shelby County 10 years ago. She has taught privately for over 20 years, helping to create the String Project geared toward creating opportunities for students of low-income families to experience string education. More recently, she mentors new orchestra teachers around the area. JH: Jennifer Harants has been teaching at Bailey Station Elementary for 11 years now. She began her teaching career in the inner city of Detroit at a charter school before landing a job at an alternative high school in South Central Los Angeles. In 2004, she made the decision to join her family in Memphis and began working for Shelby County Schools. To learn more about Collierville Schools, please visit colliervilleschools.org.

Collierville’s Creative Culture
On February 5, 2016, Webz Advertising welcomed over 300 guests to its first Webz | Art opening. Featuring Tan Collier, Ted Domek and Jo Powers (pictured below right), the exhibit was titled “Origins” to celebrate the start of something new for our historic district. “I am overwhelmed with the outpouring of support for these Collierville artists,” said owner Amber Lombardo, “I am encouraged that our friends, colleagues and neighbors are as excited about the arts as we are.” The evening began at 5pm with a ribbon cutting from the Collierville Chamber of Commerce and a champagne toast. Guests then poured in to the freshly renovated space to gaze over the work and talk with the artists. Artist Jo Powers is a fine art teacher at Collierville Middle School and shared a unique collage technique that she’s been teaching students by exploring the century-old photography of Bessie Dean

Parr. Her descendents, Hampton and Katie Parr (pictured far left) came to see how Jo had interpreted the photos and were very pleased to have Collierville enjoying the work in new and different ways. “Their faces said it all,” said Amber. “As guests stood and admired their friend’s works, you could tell there was a tremendous amount of admiration for these individuals and their devotion to their craft. I can’t wait to see what kind of work we get next. What an adventure!” Each artist spends at least two evenings after the opening providing onsite exhibition of how they work. Webz | Art will host a new show opening every even numbered month (alternating with the release of TourCollierville Magazine) and is working to expand its line of custom stationary, much of which uses images from its featured artists. The next reception is scheduled for Friday, April 15, 5-8pm.

Jo Powers “We all seem to desire a better knowledge of our shared humanity, which is the main reason that I paint about people and their cultures, particularly the southern culture.” Taking an academic approach helps her discover “what makes us tick” as a community and can help in production of more meaningful art. Jo has incorporated this approach in a recent project with her curriculum at Collierville Middle School where she teaches art. The focus of this project was to encourage students’ artwork to connect to the citizens and history in the Town of Collierville. Advanced art students created mixed media collages using the photography from turn of the century artist, Elizabeth “Bessie” Parr. Their art became an expression of southern culture through the eyes of a younger generation. Born in Memphis but now in Collierville, Jo loves where she lives. “In my paintings, I seek to tell the narratives of our mutual past, the history of the South, and not just study but delight in our well-worn dwellings and the people to whom they belonged.” Formally trained at University of Memphis with a Masters degree and graduated Magnum Cum Laude. As an artist, Jo primarily paints in watercolor and acrylic or uses mixed media for collage.

Ted Domek is an accomplished Artist with a keen eye for detail and an amazing passion for visual expression and creativity. By showcasing unique color combinations and composition, Ted creates original, exciting, unique, abstract artwork. All of Ted’s original concepts originate from his creative trait and love for fine art as a young boy growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. Ted had several influential art instructors in high school and in college. That substantial influence had an impact on Ted’s preference for acrylic to canvas art. Over the course of the past several years, Ted’s art background continued to evolve into nontraditional imagery, contoured lines and color combinations full of self- expression and emotion. This type of “thought provoking” canvas art always seems to spark interesting conversation among its viewers. Ted was able to fulfill a lifelong dream and desire to share his unique paintings with his community, show support for his local “Artist Family” and display his artwork in galleries located in the Collierville, Midtown and the Downtown areas of Memphis. Ted is always open to events that allow him to share his inspirational and trendy artwork whether he participates in fundraisers or supports galas for art history, he just loves to give back. At the end of the day, Ted’s immediate and extended family continues to be his biggest supporters of his generosity and success, while admiring all of his creative and impressive artistic achievements both as an accomplished Fine Artist and a Product Specialist at ABB/ Thomas and Betts.

As an urban planner, Jaime Groce loves to help create spaces and places where people can thrive, and these places are often the subject of his watercolors. Buildings in historic Tennessee downtowns such as Collierville, Franklin, and Fayetteville are among his favorite. Jaime also uses watercolor to capture themes in an informal way such as faith, family, and fishing. Jaime lives with his two sons in Collierville’s Historic District just a 10-minute walk from the Square. He took up watercolor in 2014 after taking a class offered by the Morton Museum of Collierville History.

Amanda Thrall Amanda Thrall was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. She knew she wanted to be an artist at an early age and attended Belhaven University where she learned to enrich and develop her artistic process and voice. Amanda strongly believes that experience is a key component of the artistic process, and her work is a direct response to her everyday experiences, true light studies, and her drawings of nature. She believes that art can help people see things that they can not see on their own, and it is her hope that through faith, her art will achieve this.

Amy Markham Amy Markham was born to be an artist. Her maternal grandmother was a gypsy fortune teller, her paternal grandmother a painter. Her dad dressed up on the weekends to reenact the Civil War while her mom read about Cherokee Indians and Ancient Egypt. Amy began painting aliens on stones and selling them to people who were having their fortunes told by her grandmother. She had no choice but to become an artist. Amy graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University and become an art teacher. She married Travis and had two sons, Oliver and Henry. With the life changes of moving and becoming a new mom, art fell by the wayside. Then, the whirlwind of life brought about transformation. Amy’s dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and two months later Amy received a diagnosis of appendix cancer. Her father passed away shortly thereafter, and Amy was diagnosed with a second cancer. Art became her medium to express and experience death, illness, and her new understanding and connection with the world. Despite a third cancer diagnosis in the past month, Amy’s current work has given her new purpose and joy. She is able to share her talents working as an art teacher at Schilling Farms Middle School and continuing to make art from her heart.

parts of themselves that are otherwise buried. When they go home at the end of the day they have done something that gives them a sense of purpose and accomplishment, and that is priceless for the participant and their caregivers. Alzheimer’s currently affects more than 5 million people in the United States and about one-third of Americans over age 85 are afflicted with the illness (Alzheimer’s Association). Often people with the disease are not properly diagnosed, and when they and their loved ones are given the news, they are faced with a disease that cannot be cured. Many who struggle with the disease find that physically they are able to still be at home; therefore their care often falls upon family members and close friends. In fact in 2014, more than 15 million Americans provided more than 17.9 billion hours of unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia’s (Alzheimer’s Association). Of these caregivers more than 40% of family caregivers report that the emotional stress of their role is high or very high. (Alzheimer’s Disease International). Places like Page Robbins provide a safe and stimulating environment for the participants and a much needed relief for their caregivers. When they drop off their loved ones they can be assured that not only will they find love and care but they will also have the opportunity to strengthen their mind, their socialization, and their
creativity. Page Robbins participants often have the opportunity to create art that not only brings joy to their lives but also helps support the Center. Art from the Heart* is an annual art auction that benefits Page Robbins and features approximately 60 pieces of participant artwork, including watercolor, acrylic, pottery and mixed media. The Winter Gala this past February, which Tour Collierville was lucky enough to attend, featured hand painted wine glasses covered in everything from footballs to flowers, all done by the Participants. The Gala itself was a trip along The Orient Express where we were greeted with decor and food that brought the attendants back in time to a more luxurious era, all while enjoying a vibrant silent auction and exciting live auction that both benefit Page Robbins. To say that it is a worthy cause is a great understatement. Thank you to all those at Page Robbins for providing a place for those we love where through art and activities, they can find a sense of purpose, experience joy, and remember themselves and what makes them truly special. ------------------------------------------------------------------

Alzheimer’s not only robs memories and cognitive focus, it takes away the feeling of being competent and productive. Those with the disease often find themselves lost in their own minds and unsure of their place within the world. A teacher who no longer understands basic multiplication, a lawyer who can’t form a proper sentence, a loving homemaker who forgets how to bake her family’s favorite pie. This leaves so many with a gaping hole where their self identity used to be, and that is where Page Robbins comes in. A typical day at Page Robbins is filled with friends, laughter, activities, and a lot of art. Participants spend their time with one on one support and constant attention. Activities do more than just consume time, they fulfill the participants in ways some haven’t experienced in years, and art is a tremendous part of that. Herbie Krisle, Executive Director at Page Robbins, discusses how the art projects provide the participants with a sense of independence and capability that so many Alzheimer’s patients have lost. “Our art program, like all other efforts at Page Robbins, is success oriented. Projects are designed to help people feel productive and competent. Challenged, but not frustrated.” When participants can express themselves through art, whether it be music, mixed media, watercolor, acrylics, pottery, block printing, or glass and silk painting, they are able to tap into

Her days at Page Robbins are filled with painting, pottery, music, and a lot of love. Michael explains how occasionally he will stay for breakfast with the participants and staff and just observe. He is always blown away by the level of care and one on one attention each participant gets. “These people just want love, they want to be recognized. And they get that there. They get so much love”. He reaches for his lovely wife’s hand as a tear pools in his eye. It may not be much to some but to the participants and their loved ones, this recognition and love mean so much.

As I choose my seat in the ballroom for the Page Robbins Gala I look to my right and am immediately struck by a beautiful couple, their hands tightly clasped together as they observe the people around them. The woman’s smile is so big she is glowing, as if lit from within. Among all the glittering dresses and luxurious surroundings these two stand out, there is something special about them. Reaching my hand out I am introduced to Michael and Betty Miller. In 2011 Betty was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Michael began to notice his beloved wife having a hard time remembering how to do something she had done a thousand times before. He remembers the difficulty of day to day life as Betty struggled with the disease. One day Page Robbins was recommended
