Join Our Quest to End Alzheimer’s!
With so much doom and gloom in the news right now, it is easy to get overwhelmed by it all. If you are feeling
down, that is completely understandable — but we just might have a solution. You can still find plenty of uplifting stories out there as long as you know where to look! This month, we have rounded up a few to cure your pandemic blues.
AUSTRALIANS TURN UNSOLD BEER INTO RENEWABLE ENERGY
When the first wave of COVID-19 lockdowns hit Australia, bars and restaurants were forced to close, and behind their doors, thousands of gallons of beer expired. However, instead of pouring it down the drain, a local water treatment plant turned the 40,000 gallons of donated booze into biogas, then into electricity! Energy levels at the plant have reached a new high, giving a whole new meaning to the phrase “getting a buzz.”
NO MOVIE THEATERS? NO PROBLEM!
On the other side of the world, Canadians and Americans are working on their own pandemic frustration: movie theater closures. One company, Beyond Cinema, just might have a solution. In September, it started touring North America to bring “floating theaters” to cities like Denver, Los Angeles, and Orlando. The events are similar to drive-in movies, but instead of arriving in cars, viewers board Beyond Media’s sanitized boats and cluster around a huge screen on the water! Who would have imagined that in 2019?
For the third consecutive year, our team will participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Saturday, Oct. 3, in Indianapolis. The Walk’s goal is to raise awareness and funds for the Alzheimer’s Association’s fight against Alzheimer’s disease. During the Walk, there is a Flower Garden Ceremony in which every participant raises a flower that color-coordinates with their connection to the fight. Purple flowers, for example, are for those who have lost someone, orange flowers are for supporters, blue flowers are for those living with the diagnosis, and yellow are their caregivers. Every Walk has one white flower raised during the ceremony, which represents the first survivor. Join us in the quest to raise the white flower. Every dollar counts in this fight. Over the last two years, we have raised nearly $28,000. You can help! To join our team or donate, visit Act.alz.org/goto/Eagle_and_Fein.
KITTENS SAVE THE DAY DURING QUARANTINE
A recent OnePoll study of 2,000 cat owners revealed that three-quarters of participants credited their furry friends with helping them get through quarantine. These heroic cats and kittens helped ease their owners’ loneliness and reduce their anxiety. They also gave them someone to talk to and “brought a feeling of positivity to their days.” What is the moral of this story? Well, if you have been feeling down, it might be time to adopt a cat!
