2008 Volunteer Recognition Day
  On April 9th, we were thrilled to honor our
Chapter volunteers at the 2008 Volunteer
Recognition Day event with a “Meet the
Artist” program at Lincoln Center. It was a passionate
evening of Flamenco dance and music featuring
the hottest Flamenco performers in New York City.
We thanked our many volunteers for their invaluable
contributions to the Chapter, letting them know
that we simply could not do the work we do without
them. Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana Dance
Company and Classical and Flamenco Guitarist
Carlos Revollar graced the evening with their
dynamic movement, raw energy, brilliant sound and
musical talent – gifts to those who give to us
throughout the year.
Before the performance, Women In Action
Committee member Marcia Aronowitz was recognized
for her nine years of dedicated service to the
Chapter and Junior Committee Vice President
Christina Cohen for her hard work since 2004.
 With enthusiasm, integrity and compassion,
volunteers bring light into the lives of our city’s
caregivers and people living with Alzheimer’s disease
and other dementias. Volunteer Recognition Day
2008 was a hand clapping, foot stomping, sizzling
event for our NYC Chapter ambassadors.
Our fabulous volunteers continue to:

special events;
- Provide leadership by serving on our Board of Directors,
Women In Action Committee and Junior Committee;
