There are a number of ‘mini-walks’ planned starting with the first one on Tuesday September 10 at 10am from the home base of Terrific Tuesdays, First United Methodist Church on Church Street in Sulphur Springs. Anyone who would like to register to come and make the leisurely stroll around the parking lot with the Terrific Tuesday “club members” is welcome to do so, in a show of support for the loyalty and dedication on the part of caregivers of this disease as well as appreciation for the weekly respite program.
