: I'd like to make everyone aware of The Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative, a program to raise awareness and fund research for Alzheimer's disease. It has two parts: a traveling art quilt exhibit interpreting Alzheimer's in fiber art that will tour the US for three years, and an on-going sale of small art quilts. All proceeds will go to Alzheimer's research. The deadline for submitting a quilt for the traveling exhibit is June 5. The prospectus is at www.AlzQuilts.org.
:
: Your talents are needed to make "Priority: Alzheimer's Quilts." These are very small mini-quilts (maximum size: 9" x 12") named for the urgent need for research dollars and for the USPS priority mailers used to send the donation quilts to the buyers. All proceeds go to Alzheimer's research.

: Please help me spread the word.
