NARFE supports research to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease. A
commitee at the national level has oversight.
In Chapter 181, 2006 saw contributions from several sources. Seven Chapter 181 members helped

held at membership meetings, many winners donated their winnings bringing in $160.00. Memorial donations and
donations from families with a member suffering from Alzheimer's totaled $280.00. Fifteen members generously donated
$679.26, and finally, $2.05 in interest from the chapter's Alzheimer's savings account. Chapter 181's total
donation for 2006 was $1,412.
