Gladstone’s fourth Annual Walk for Alzheimer’s was held on Thursday, June 23 along with a fundraising barbecue. The Seniors’ Drop-In was the starting point for the walk and the place to donate toward this worthwhile cause by attending the barbecue or making a pledge. The total raised this year was $3265.00.
