We're in the thick of it! Yeah!
We're making Amethyst bracelets that will be sold at the Walk to End Alzheimer's events. Kyla designed several bracelets, and the Alzheimer's Association Great Plains Chapter picked a design to be sold at their Walk to End Alzheimer's event.
Each bracelet will sell for $21.40 with 50% of the proceeds going to the Chapter. We hope this spreads across the U.S. - a wonderful project for us and helping to fight Alzheimer's too!
Another really great event was Kyla's interview on NTV's the Good Life, Monday July 25th. What a great piece; good information given on Community Action Partnership of Mid-Nebraska, the Walk to End Alzheimer's and what happening with this project. To see the interview go to

And the blessings keep on coming! About an hour or two after Kyla's interview we had a surprise visitor at our administration building. Marilee, a new resident of Kearney, happened to watch the NTV interview and dropped by to see if she could volunteer to help make bracelets. Her father has been affected by Alzheimer's and she felt this was a good project to contribute her time to - it would both help us in our mission and help in the fight of Alzheimer's disease.
On the home front, we are gearing up for the fall/winter season. We have several conferences scheduled that we will attend as vendors. This allows us to raise money and to share our mission statement and raise awareness of Community Action and all of what our programs achieve.
We will have our fall show, the Holiday Splendor Craft and Trade show on November 12th. This will be an exciting time for us. Our plan is to have a bead trunk show and 3 to 4 classes to teach beading. We are actively looking for instructors to help make this a success.
This is all from the home front for now -
Stay tuned -
Janice
