Dear StoryCorps Alumni, As StoryCorps grows, we are continuously trying to improve upon our existing programs, and that's where you come in! Please take a couple of minutes to take a quick online survey. Your feedback will help us strenghten StoryCorps in the years ahead. What are we doing well? What can we be doing better? As Alumni, you are better equipped to answer these questions than anyone else. Thank you for your participation! Warmly,
Christa Orth  Memory Loss Initiative on ABC News Jack Albertini recently interviewed his mother, Mary, who lives with Alzheimer's disease. "There is no other Mary Albertini out there. She was a much rounder person than I had ever imagined," Albertini said. "We felt like we were being spotlighted as who we are. And that was a special feeling."
 Mary and Jack Albertini in Hamden, StoryCorps has recorded 1,000 stories of people affected by memory loss — including caregivers and family members — since 2006. You can help bring the StoryCorps Memory Loss Initiative to your community by identifying organizations that will sponsor on-site recording days through our Door-to-Door program.

Donald Hudson and Noblake Taylor StoryCorps provides a special space for friends, family, and loved ones to connect with each other through listening. But StoryCorps also offers a unique opportunity even when the two people involved don't know each other very well. One recent example of this comes from our StoryCorps Mobile Tour, which has been in Winston-Salem this month, recording more than 100 stories of everyday people. Two locals, Donald Hudson and Noblake Taylor, came to the booth, having just met ten minutes before their interview. They found deep connections in their stories of homelessness, family, and the future. You can read Donald's and Noblake's story on the StoryCorps Blog. You can also post comments and stories of your own StoryCorps experience! Listen to Stories

 We have a feature on our website that allows you to start a new conversation with your friends, family, and loved ones by simply asking a question. Each month we suggest a question that you can email to your friends and family. This month's question is: Who has been the kindest to you in your life? It's simple: Send an email. Ask a question. Listen to what comes back. We'd love to hear what happens!
