First Assignment

For this first assignment I plan on writing about an upcoming benefit that is to take place in my home town of Albers, IL. The benefit is being held for a man who has alzheimer's/dementia, and has been an important member of the community for many years. I plan on interviewing some members of the town who are contributing to help plan this event, as well as a person planing on attending and maybe even a family member of the man for whom the benefit is for. This is an important story because it not only shows the importantce of a community but also shows how people will come together to help one another out in times of need.
