Walk to End Alzheimer’s brown bag lunch event Sept. 20

Walk to End Alzheimer's logo. Alzheimer's Association.All are welcome to join LLCC’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s team for a fun and engaging lunch. Here’s how it works:

  • Save the date for Wednesday, Sept. 20, at noon in Millennium, Room 2203.
  • Before work that day, make a brown bag lunch (feel free to get creative and decorate your bag while also listing any allergies like nuts, gluten, citrus, etc.).
  • When you arrive to the event, add your brown bag lunch to the others on the table and grab a number.
  • Once everyone arrives, each person gets to pick a bag not knowing what is in it. You can either eat what is in your bag, or trade with another person (kind of like elementary school when you traded with your friends).
  • If you feel inclined, donate the money you saved from not going out to lunch that day to a charity. We are biased, but we love LLCC’s Team Loggers supporting the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s®!

Any questions? Reach out to Leslie Johnson at leslie.johnson@llcc.edu.
