From Lynda Everman & Kathy Siggins: It’s been a while since we’ve provided you with an update on the #AlzheimersStamp. As of the end of February, 8.7M stamps have been sold, raising $1.1M for life saving NIH funded dementia research 10 cents at a time! https://about.usps.com/.../cor.../activities/semipostals.htm Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, graduations, and weddings (in addition to the increased isolation brought about by the pandemic) present us with many opportunities to send a card or note to loved ones. Please continue to show your support and encourage those in your network to do likewise by posting your cards with the Alzheimer’s stamp. While a number of post offices have them in stock, I’ve found it easy and convenient to order at the online postal store: https://store.usps.com/.../buy-stamps/alzheimers-S_564204 Our goal for the Alzheimer’s stamp is to sell in one year what we sold in two and raise another million dollars for the NIH by the end of this year, but we still have a long way to go to meet that goal. Using the Alzheimer’s stamp honors the memory of those whom we’ve lost and signals our support for those still facing the challenges of this most difficult disease. Anything you can do to encourage those in your network to purchase and use it will be deeply appreciated. Thank you. P.S. The image for this lovely Forget-Me-Not notecard was painted by the late Lester E. Potts, Jr. who learned to paint in the throes of dementia.
