Special Bracelets Help Locate Missing Persons

Imagine if a loved one who has autism or Alzheimer's disease wandered off without anyone knowing. In a situation such as that, time is of the essence, but where would one start looking for the missing person?

The Marlboro Kiwanis Club has helped to raise money for the purchase of bracelets supplied by Project Lifesaver that would help if a situation like the one described above occurred.

Project Lifesaver, of Chesapeake, Va., is a nonprofit organization that was established in 1999. According to its Internet Web site, Project Lifesaver has become a leading organization in addressing the need to protect people who have Alzheimer's disease, Down syndrome and autism.
