Proceeds will provide a music therapy program for the residents within Glacier View Lodge, many of whom are experiencing forms of dementia, as music’s beneficial for physical activity, social interaction & specifically helpful to Alzheimer victims.

Morris and everyone at Glacier View Lodge send out heartfelt appreciation to the community, for taking part & for brining awareness to the needs of seniors in our community.

Glacier View Lodge recently celebrated their 75th year providing care & 40 years in the current facility.
