The Pilot Club of Laurinburg sponsors the Dementia Alliance Support Group for Scotland County. One of the projects has been to supply individuals who have Alzheimer’s or dementia with Fidget Quilts. These quilts alleviate boredom and provide a means of performing repetitive behaviors that are often comforting and distracting. The bright colors are attractive and the items attached to the quilts give the person something to fiddle with and do with their hands. Pictured left to right are members of the club displaying samples of their various quilts: Ann Steinbrink, Danny Russell, Sandra Hoffman, Linda Troutman, Aliechia Post and Leslie McLaughlin.
