The CHANGE Act (S.1692/H.R. 3354)
I have gone in the past to Washington DC to speak to my representatives about the bipartisan bill that would provide the tools to accurately detect Alzheimer's in its earliest stages, accelerate progress towards prevention strategies, early diagnosis, disease-modifying treatments, and hopefully a cure!
Congress needs to hear from ALL of us.
PLEASE send your message to your Senator and Representative and let us continue to push for the passage of this critical bill.
Please click the link to email your representatives. I suggest that you write about your story to make it more personal. But you do not have to do that. There is a template to use. CLICK HERE:

PUZZLE MANIA
Who wants to wear a crown for being a puzzle champion? "PUZZLE MANIA" is a jigsaw puzzle competition to raise funds for PuzzlesToRemember and KidCaregivers The jigsaw puzzle competition will have teams of up to 4 persons each. Teams will sit with the same 500-piece puzzle and compete to finish the puzzle first. The winning team will be honored with a trophy. Second and third place teams will be acknowledged and rewarded as well. Teams could be solo, two people or four people. The fee to participate will be $25 per person or $100 per team. Organizations and businesses are welcome to sponsor teams if they wish. This event is fun and light hearted. It will be family-friendly, and children ages 10 are older will be welcomed as team members. The Event will be held from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. We are looking for 25 people to act as table hosts and recruit their own four-person teams from friends, neighbors or family members! Ticket prices will be tax-deductible. *If you would like to participate but do not have time to recruit your own team or seek one out, let us know and we will do our best to find a table for you. Date is TBD. It will take place in June or September at Plainview Old Bethpage High School. If you would like to host a PUZZLE MANIA event in your neighborhood, please email us. We can help you!

Thank you Matthew Hernandez!
Matthew was one of our first volunteers to happily deliver a lot of puzzles to an underserved facility! We are now working very hard to organize PUZZLE TIME so the volunteers can solve puzzles with the Alzheimer's residents!

Shout Out To Our Special Long Island Ambassador Jake Guttman!
We mentioned Jake before...He is the amazing Ambassador who spearheaded the extremely generous puzzle donation from BETHPAGE FEDERAL CREDIT UNION. He did something even more extraordinary. He purchased specialized Springbok Alzheimer's puzzles with his OWN allowance money to be distributed for Global Youth Service Day. You read correctly folks, his own money. He could have used his money to buy cool things like XBOX games or sneakers, etc. Instead, he chose to help diverse people living with Alzheimer's disease. We cannot thank you enough, Jake! We are so lucky and grateful to have you!
Thank You To Our New Massachusetts Ambassador Vianna Romiero!
Vianna collected almost 100 puzzles for Global Youth Service Day. She is now busy recruiting multiple students for PUZZLE TIME. She is looking for volunteers in Easton and Deeham, MA but is also able to assist in different locations. Please reach out to us at Kidcaregivers@gmail.com or fill out our form on our sister organization's website (www.kidcaregivers.com)

The residents ant the Alzheimer's facilities were overjoyed! In addition, the student volunteers will be participating in PUZZLE TIME an intiative that is a branch from our sister nonprofit KID CAREGIVERS! This would not have been possible without the benefit of HERSHEY CORP for their HEARTWARMING HERO Grant, Youth Service America, Springbok Puzzles, CEACO Puzzles, THREDUP, NERVOUS SYSTEM puzzles, Relish puzzles which shipped from the UK! THANK YOU so much from the bottom of our hearts!
