The Alzheimer's Society of Kenora-Rainy River is close to meeting its membership goal.
The group is striving for 300 members which Executive Director Margaret Schoenville says will give the district a greater say at the provincial level.
"They give us votes," says Schoenville. "Our votes are in relations to how many members we have. If we have 300 members we have 3 votes. It's important that the north has a strong voice."
An individual membership is $25.00 - $30.00 for a business or organization.
