CONWAY — The Longest Night is a nationwide effort to unite communities in support of individuals living with Alzheimer’s and the caregivers who stand beside them. In recognition of the longest night of the year on Dec. 21, the Mount Washington Valley Adult Day Center will illuminate its roadside entrance with a display of luminaries, each symbolizing the enduring challenges faced by those impacted by Alzheimer’s disease.

Community members are invited to visit the Adult Day Center any weekday leading up to Dec. 21 to personalize a luminary.
