Alzheimer's Association: Twenty-five
years of caring and helping people cope
READY TO HELP: Merle Brodie, president and CEO of the San Diego/Imperial Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, says, "Last year, we served 25,000 families, but we know there may be as many as 360,000 people in the region who can benefit from our services." |

more than 3,000 kids in Mexico
HAPPY DAYS: Sempra Energy's companies in Mexico worked with local
schools and groups to help make Día del Niño (Day
of the Child) a special treat for more than 3,000 kids. |
Throughout Mexico, there is a special holiday for children marked every year on April 30. Called the Day of the Child (Día del Niño), it's meant for celebrating children, much the way that Mother's Day honors moms in the United States.
