Brain Awareness Week

Michigan Alzheimer’s Association

We will be helping the Michigan Alzheimer’s Association with their annual Memory Walk.  The walk brings in substantial funds to support local programs and services for families of individual’s with Alzheimer’s Disease.  Ann Arbor’s Memory Walk 2001 was held on October 7th at Domino’s Farms.  We helped direct runners and provided information for participants.  For more information on Alzheimer’s Disease, please see our links page.

K-Grams Kid’s Fair

We are getting our traditional booth at the K-Grams Kid’s Fair held in the winter semester at Chrysler Arena.  Kids from all over Ann Arbor come and participate in the Kid’s Fair festivities, visiting booths sponsored by various U of M clubs and organizations.  At our booth, we will be teaching kids about the nervous system by playing plug-your-nose-and-guess-the-jelly-bean and also a guess what’s in the box game.
