Beautiful day of reunion for the members of the France Alzheimer Gers association with a family meal.
They met in large numbers at the Café des Sports on September 2 for a moment of conviviality particularly conducive to exchanges, the family meal. “It is precisely this dynamic of sharing between us, members, people helping or helped, which gives its importance to this association and that is what together we must preserve”, explained Christiane Chicard, volunteer of France Alzheimer Gers since many years and active in the territory of Lectoure and Fleurance.
Christiane Chicard congratulated the secretary of the association, Muriel Fado-Felip, “for the quality of her work and for her availability because she is the one who provides the link between members, volunteers, administrators and all the partners and external contacts. Hub of the association, faced with a heavy administrative workload, she nevertheless knows how to keep her smile and her friendliness in all circumstances”.
