What: Ben’s Bells promote kindness and community involvement. Each week a person who makes Tucson better is “belled.”
Last week’s recipient: Sheila Hamann.
Nominated by: Krista H. Gray.
Why: For conducting art activities for people with Alzheimer’s and/or dementia. She does this twice a month at a local community center. With help from a group of volunteers, Hamann conducts these activities for two to eight attendees each session. While the activities are going on, the attendees’ caregivers are able to attend another meeting with representatives from Alzheimer’s associations. This program is much loved and appreciated, Gray wrote in her nomination letter. “Sheila’s planning and teaching of this class is a shining example of what volunteerism and caring are all about,” Gray wrote.
