Danny & Martie Murphy
Leadership Award Luncheon

The 10th Annual Danny & Martie Murphy Leadership Award Luncheon


June 29, 2011 - Georgian Room of the Charlottetown Hotel at 12 noon.
Tickets are $30 each.
A limited number of tickets are available, so please book in advance. 628-2257
Come help us celebrate champions for excellence in dementia care in P.E.I!

The award was established in 2002 to encourage, support and inspire partnerships and excellence in dementia care. This award is the highest honour presented by the Alzheimer Society of PEI. It recognizes a person or organization that strives toward or promotes excellence in the field of Alzheimer and related diseases, and it is awarded during the Danny & Martie Murphy Leadership Award Luncheon each year.
Last year, the award was presented to the Parkdale-Sherwood Lions Club. The Parkdale Sherwood Lions Club purchased the house on 166 Fitzroy Street that the Alzheimer Society of P.E.I. now calls home. For one dollar a month, the Society is able to have a place in which to work from. Without this generous gift, this kind of space downtown would be unrealistic for the Society to have. The Parkdale Sherwood Lions Club has also contributed to numerous renovations and general upkeep of the building, which is invaluable as well. This type of commitment to the Alzheimer Society of P.E.I. is greatly appreciated and that gratitude was shown during this year’s award luncheon.

2010 Award Recipient: Parkdale Sherwood
Lions Club

The 9th Annual Alzheimer Leadership Award Luncheon was held on June 24, 2010 at the Charlottetown Hotel with over 160 people in attendance. Our guest speaker for this event was Linda Boyle, who is currently living with Alzheimer’s disease. Danny Murphy announced the recipient of the award, named in his honor – The Parkdale Sherwood Lions Club.

2009 Award Recipient:

"I'm so proud of her," Con Zaat said as his late wife Hendrika "Jean" Zaat receives the highest honour the Alzheimer Society of P.E.I. can bestow. This award recognizes a person or organization that works toward or promotes excellence in the field of Alzheimer and related dementias. Jean used the most personal touch imaginable to spread a message of awareness. She used her own story of living with Alzheimer's disease, detailing her new and changing world as it unfolded to all who cared to listen. Jean who died on March 26th of 2009 worked in the field as a licensed practical nurse at the Hillsborough Hospital, and touched many lives of individuals with Alzheimer disease.
