Hey music fans and big band junkies! We’re getting close to go-time. At our rehearsal last week we concentrated on all of our charts that feature our stellar vocalists. We melded our arrangement of “I’ve Got A Gal in Kalamazoo” with the vocals of quartet “Midnight Syncopation” and it was magical! Such a great throwback. We also debuted a brand new chart with our great female vocalist Jackie Faber. Oh my….so sweet! And of course, Al DeLaet and his wonderful showmanship will be back with us as well. And the band itself has some great feature charts we look forward to playing. A couple more rehearsals for some fine-tuning and we hope to meet up with you at the Glencoe Ag Centre Saturday night, September 27th. How often do you get to see and hear a big band anymore? Let’s pack the hall in support of the Four Counties Hospital Foundation. Bring the entire family and always remember…”don’t mess with a big band 😀”

🌎 September is World Alzheimer’s Month 💜

The Alzheimer Society of Ontario projects that by 2050, nearly 2 million Canadians could be living with dementia. At the MHA, we are deeply grateful to our Adult Day Program team at Four Counties, along with our staff, physicians, and volunteers across the organization, for the compassionate care they provide to patients and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease and all types of dementia.

This month—and every month—we are committed to raising awareness and challenging the stigma and discrimination surrounding these conditions.
