Executive Director Arlene Hull said the Alzheimer’s Family Services of Greater Beaufort had a sellout crowd of more than 240 people at last weekend’s dinner theater fundraiser at The Shed in Port Royal. The money will go directly to help caregivers of persons with Alzheimer’s disease in our community.
