From the Chamber Exchange:

In continued support of the Northwest Connecticut Walk to End Alzheimers, Lime Rock Park and Alzheimer's Association have partnered together to host a road rally, 9 a.m. Nov. 14. Participants will drive through the towns of Falls Village, North Canaan, Salisbury, Lakeville, and Sharon. Key locations for drive-bys will include Noble Horizons, Sharon Health Care Center, and Sharon Hospital. November is particularly symbolic as it is National Caregiver Month.

People will be using their own cars, which they will decorate with messages of gratitude and encouragement for caregivers and those dealing with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. Everyone will be abiding by all traffic regulations and will not require intersections to be blocked. Cars in the procession will be observing speed limits, stopping at stop signs/ lights, yielding to merging vehicles, and staying a safe distance from the car ahead.

There is a donation of $50 to participate in this drive. Go to http://act.alz.org/goto/ DrivetoENDALZ to make this donation.
