Organizers with the Investors Group Walk for Alzheimers have issued an urgent call for a volunteer to step forward to chair the Tri-Cities' event next year.
The walk — the country's biggest fundraiser for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias — happens on the first Sunday of May.
Last year's gathering for the Tri-Cities and Ridge Meadows area generated more than $26,000 to fight the illness that affects around 70,000 people in B.C.
Applicants for the chair post should have organizational skills, live or work in the Tri-Cities and be enthusiastic, driven and community-minded; other volunteer positions are also open.
Training and support will be provided by the Alzheimer Society of B.C. To apply, call Melanie Munroe at 604-742-4915 or email [email protected].
