Vintage Christmas tablecloths are getting harder & harder to find. At Nanalulus Linens we have several really nice reproductions. This way you get the look of Grandmas tablecloth without the wear, stains & spots that normally go with them!

Alzheimers Memory Walk

A few pictures from the memory walk

Alzheimers Memory Walk Syracuse NY Sep 27,2008

It’s a helpless feeling, watching someone you love battle Alzheimer's disease. So, I decided to take action. On Sat. Sep 27, 2008 I am participating in a very special event called the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk in honor of my mother and also my father as a cargiver.

In addition I am walking for the more than 5 million Americans currently living with Alzheimer’s disease. I am walking because I can, and because I should.

The Alzheimer’s Association, the world leader in Alzheimer’s research, care and support, is dedicated to finding prevention methods, treatments and an eventual cure for the disease.

Along with my team I hope to be able to raise at least $2000 to support the local Alzheimer’s Association, which provides consultation, information and referral, and support programs to those affected by Alzheimer’s.
