June 21 — The Longest Day |
|
Last week we lost a long-time member, Pat Kobes-Gomez, to Alzheimer’s disease. (Interesting fact: Pat and her husband Ray were the first couple to be married in our current sanctuary, at a service conducted by Rev. David Newell.) A devoted, insightful, and tender friend to many, Pat will be sorely missed.
Perhaps a way to honor Pat would be for us to help promote The Longest Day campaign of the Alzheimer’s Association. According to the AA webpage, “The Longest Day (June 21) is the day with the most light — the summer solstice. On June 21, thousands of participants from across the world come together to fight the darkness of Alzheimer's through an activity of their choice. Together, they use their creativity and passion to raise funds and awareness for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association." The organization lists ways to participate at this link (click here). One easy thing to do to mark the day would be to wear the color purple, which is the organization’s official color, on June 21.
