VOICES REMEMBER...
the night, the fun
...the photos!

Voices Remember...a musical cabaret
was no less than an awesome harmony of talent - dedicated to bringing awareness to the debilitating affects of Alzheimer's.

Long after the last piano keys were played, their voices and inspirational message echoed in the hearts of all who attended the gala.

UPBEAT NEWS congratulates Joan Baker, Ron Pobuda, and Rudy Gaskins on the success of the premier of this event.
