Julienne Waters, Ukiah, CA
AWBF Welcomes First Certified Mnemetecnic Therapist
Lake Worth, FL- Julienne Waters was the first graduate of the Institute of Mnemetecnic Therapy. She completed her on-line and on-site training in February and is anxious to open her Chapter in Northern California.
"I was thrilled to see the dream unfolding before my eyes," stated Noell Hammer, founder of the Art Without Boundaries
program and Mnemetecnic Therapy. "Julienne's success represents everything we have work toward for years. The paintings she facilitated were fantastic, better than I ever imagined. I am proud and excited that she will be representing AWB and carrying forth our mission."
Lake Worth, FL- Betsy Huffsmith of Fairfield, Iowa became the second person to graduate from the Institute of Mnemetecnic Therapy. She apprenticed in March.
"Betsy has a heart for our clients and a passion for our mission," said founder Noell Hammer. "This is not a job or even a business. It's a calling and she's been
preparing for this all of her life. Her own paintings are fresh and vibrant and she brings that to the table as she facilitates. I am pleased AWB will be represented by this remarkable woman."

Riverside Living Center, an 88 bed healthcare facility in Piedmont, South Carolina hosted Art Without Boundaries in February. The "paint-a-thon" was facilitated by Noell Hammer, founder of the the program and 43 paintings were produced during the Mnemetecnic Therapy sessions.
In March, Riverside held a successful AWBF Gala, with over 200 guests, honoring the artists and auctioning the paintings. Over $11,000 was raised to continue to receive regular Mnemetecnic Therapy services.
Carla Heritage, Executive Director was "thrilled with the program." She stated: "The residents have found a sense of purpose as they created these wonderful paintings. These elders are in the winter of their life and this experience has brought a breath of springtime amid the doldrums of those winter days. In addition, our family members are touched as they see the smiles on the faces of their loved ones. Not only are they surprised and amazed at this newfound talent, but the paintings give them priceless treasures to hold onto."
