Calhoun County proclaims Miles for Memories day to recognize dementia‑support programs
Summary
The board adopted a proclamation recognizing Miles for Memories and its programs — including Help Home, a GPS safe‑return watch and a visual bracelet program — which organizers say helped at least 33 people return home safely.
The Calhoun County Board of Commissioners read and adopted a proclamation recognizing Miles for Memories on Sept. 16.
Chair Steve Frisbie read the proclamation into the record, citing the volunteer organization’s work since 2013 to raise funds and awareness about Alzheimer’s disease in Calhoun County. The proclamation highlights Miles for Memories’ Help Home program, coordination with Consolidated 9‑1‑1 Dispatch, a GPS safe‑return watch and a visual bracelet program; the proclamation states those programs have helped at least 33 individuals return home without an unnecessary hospital trip.
Senior Services Manager Helen Guzzo thanked the board and introduced Sherii Sherban of Scene Magazine, who accepted the proclamation on the organization’s behalf. The board approved the proclamation by voice vote (Res.151‑2021).
