March 20, 2017 – Washington D.C., WI – In 2016 Leading Age presented an award at its Great Minds Gala for Family Friend & Caregiver. This was the video of recognizable faces that was played during the banquet. (The winning comment is at 1:50)
So the reason for the flashback is because Leading Age asked me to come back to D.C. and present the award this year!
Here are a couple other videos from 2016…
Feb. 16, 2017 – Well the cats outta the bag and it is the Netherlands for the 2017 Amazing Ride for Alzheimer’s.
Hat tip to Michael Albiero for the fantastic artwork for this year’s logo.
The tour will leave at the end of June.
On a side note, a friend ask me “when” in June and I said, “After the US Open and after the Downtown Criterion bicycle race.”
Then she said, “I don’t really follow tennis… I was just looking for a date.”
Well…. the U.S. Open is actually a golf tournament coming to Erin Hills and if you want specifics I’d say June 26 is a good departure date.
This is the fifth year for the Amazing Ride for Alzheimer’s.
All the money raised stays in the community of West Bend at Cedar Community where it is used to help promote exercise and entertainment for people who suffer Alzheimer’s.
If you would like to be a primary sponsor for the tour – give me a call at 262-334-4526. Cedar Community is a 501c3 so all donations are tax deductible.
Exclusive from the Washington County Insider:
West Bend, WI – After a three-week all-inclusive tour from New Mexico to West Bend, Judy Steffes is finally home in West Bend.
Judy is on her way back home and will be arriving in West Bend at approximately 7 p.m. The heat and headwinds have been a contributing factor to her long day.
If you are able to grab a bottle of water (for yourself!) and go to the corner of W. Washington (Hwy. 33) and Valley Avenue by the City of West Bend sign, it would be great to have a warm welcome home for Judy. As a special treat, “Hank and Essie” (photo below) will be present to “extend a hand,” as well!

Local businessman Pat Bohn from Bits N Pieces Floral talks about finding out he has Alzheimer’s.
Today I’m riding in honor of Marcie Schroeder.
If you would like me to ride in tribute of your loved one, please email a photo to [email protected] or [email protected], include the person’s name and a brief note if you like, and send your contribution.
The entire $100 donation, is tax deductible and will go toward Alzheimer’s programs at Cedar Community.
“Charity ride? Bike tour?” He said. “Can I hug you because I like you already.”
Art was head of the church council. He set me up in the school gym and then took me for a spin around town.
“This is a well known place in Shullsburg,” he said, as he brought his car to a stop on a lonesome country road.
I had heard of the illusion before where you think you’re headed uphill but the car rolls backwards. I didn’t even realize I was in the community where this occurred, let alone on Gravity Hill itself.

After the experiment we tooled around town some more. Art pointed out the local creamery and the acres of high corn in the fields.
Art worked some of his connections with the volunteer fire department and that’s when we hooked up with Dave who said I’d probably be more comfortable in the air-conditioned fire house.
The upgrade put me on Main Street with its historic buildings and I was within walking distance of food.
This glass is about the size of a golf ball and, in case you were wondering, it’s a taste of the local Potosi.
There were also photos of Brewers Paul Molitor and Robin Yount, Gorman Thomas, Sixto Lescano, Ben Oglivie and Cecil Cooper.
“I’m going to have another one,” she said. “But don’t start thinking I’m the town drunk.”
Seemed everybody who came into The Burg said ‘hi’ to Ollie.
“I’m on the parish council,” she said, explaining her popularity.
Mapping: I’m on Highway 11 and went through Hazel Green to get to Shullsburg. Stayed on Hwy 11 to Monroe and now I’m headed north on to Stoughton.
