September
is also a time for new beginnings. Kids are beginning a new school year. Of
course, true to form for this unusual year of 2020, school may be online or in
person with a new set of rules and standards.
September
is “family reunion” month. The Fisher
family reunion is always the Sunday before Labor Day. We are so set on the time
and place that the Tuesday immediately following the reunion, we are at the
park office to rent our favorite shelter.
Fisher
reunions were always music fests. Jim, his uncles, dad, and siblings used to
bring their instruments and play country music. Over time, that tradition was
passed onto the younger generation. Year after year, until this one, we celebrated
music and family. This year, we cancelled the reunion.
Labor
Day is always the day we hold our Walk to End Alzheimer’s team fundraiser. We
have had a traffic stop every year since 1999. This year, for safety sake, we
decided to cancel.
I told
my son, “This is the first time in twenty-one years that I don’t have my Labor
Day weekend booked solid.”
Even
the Walk to End Alzheimer’s is a different type of event. I won’t be up before
the butt-crack of dawn to help set up the walk. No, this year, some members
of Jim’s Team are walking Saturday
evening. Since Walk Is Everywhere, we were able to change the time so that my
granddaughter could walk with us. Our team will be walking a nostalgic route.
September
song also brings to mind our new fundraising idea. Our family band has been suffering withdrawal since we haven’t
been able to play in the nursing homes every month. We’ve been meeting weekly
to work on our song list, and for some time have been floating the idea of an
Alzheimer’s fundraiser. With the oppressive heat this summer, we couldn’t pick
a good time to have a concert in the park.
Along
comes September, and my brother found an
opportunity for our band to perform at the swap meet in Versailles. Finally,
the Capps Family Band will be playing for an audience on September 12.
We will
enjoy our September songs, and hope to coax a few smiles and some toe tapping.
So if you’re in the neighborhood, drop by for a free concert, and an
opportunity to join us in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.
