Hi
Everyone!
The
Alzheimer's
Poetry
Project
is
launched!
Gary
Glazner
(founder
of
the
project)
held
a
one-hour
workshop
at
the
Village
Booksmith
on
Thursday,
followed
by
a
visit
to
Meadowridge
in
Baraboo
to
work
with
folks
who
live
in
the
Memory
Unit.
Gary
also
provided
books
of
suitable
poems
to
all
of
the
poets
and
readers
who
took
part.
I
cannot give
enough
praise
to
Gary,
the nine
poets
who
participated,
Carol
Olson
(Alzheimer's
coordinator
for
Sauk
and
Columbia
Counties),
the
staff
at
Meadowridge,
and
especially
to
the
wonderful
residents
that
we
had the
honor
to
meet!
The
response
was
astounding
and
the
room
was
filled
with
poetry,
singing,
laughter,
and
the
warm
spontaneity
that
Gary
generated.
We
have
qualified
for
a
portion
of
the
grant
money
allocated
for
the
nationwide
project
and
Gary
will
return
to
Baraboo
in
late
July,
again
in
the
fall,
and
next
spring
to
work
with
us.
In
the
mean
time,
we
are
ready
to
get
started
on
our
own. Teddy
Jedry
will
coordinate
the
efforts
of
the
poets
and
Carol
will
oversee
the
health-care
facilities
to
determine
where
we
are
needed
(everywhere)
and
welcome
(everywhere).
I
am
hoping
that
the
Sauk
County
Writers
Group
(next
meeting
is
Monday
July
13th
at
1:30
pm-Village
Booksmith)
will
become
the
foster
organization
for
this
endeavor.
It
is
not
too
late
for
you
to
be
part
of
this!
Just
contact
me
by
email
(or
phone
608-355-1001)
and
we
will
make
sure
that
you
are
included.
I
know
that
many
of
you
wanted
to
come
but
had
other
committments.
In
late
July,
we
will
shoot
for
a
Saturday
so
that
you
can
(we
hope)
be
available.
Again,
we
will
work
with
Alzheimer's
patients
as
part
of
the
workshop.
You
are
needed...and
welcome!
Annie
