Welcome today my guest blogger, Joyce Ragland, with some exciting news for you!
Excitement! Anticipation! Twenty-one super talented, award-winning writers and artists generously donated their talents to make a charity book project. Proceeds from sales of paperback and e-books will benefit Alzheimer’s patients, who have a most difficult journey in their life’s final chapters.
Concern for Alzheimer’s patients and families means caring enough to become involved.
The Ella Ragland Art charity has funded Inter-Active music, donated Activity Aprons, cards, prints, dolls – and more directly to Alzheimer’s victims in Southwest Missouri. This book project is the start of a fund-raising campaign to expand our services to a larger Alzheimer’s patient population, geographically.
Originality and humor serve as backbone for Joyce’s exciting new book.
The book’s theme, “Travel in the Sixties,” served as a general guide for creativity. Submissions reveal originality, brilliance, empathy, and use of humor as a saving grace for all of us who experience our own life’s journey challenges. The pieces in this book are arranged in groups: “On Aging, Alzheimer’s and a Bucket List,” “Historical,” “1960s Civil Rights,” “Coming of Age in the 1960s,” “Humor & Nostalgia,” and “Speculative Fiction.” There is something for each reader and this book will make a great Christmas present for loved ones aged ten to one hundred.
To maximize sales for charity, click here to order Travel in the Sixties from Amazon.com E-books are also available for Kindle and NOOK. Locally, the books will soon be on shelves in Buffalo, MO at Hale’s Crossing and in Lebanon, MO at Whimsy on Commercial Street.
In addition to the book, we sell cards and prints made from Ella Ragland’s oil paintings at Whimsy in Lebanon, MO, MacCreed’s Gallery near Bennett Spring, and online at www.EllaRaglandArt.org. We also have a crowd-funding campaign online at http://www.gofundme.com/4oti04.

Thank you, Joyce, for all you do to help promote and encourage research. Alzheimer’s and related diseases touch most of us at one time or another.
Hugs,
