The brain was the name of the game on Sept. 22 at Sarasota Yacht Club. 

Books and puzzles were neatly displayed on a table in the lobby as guests arrived at the Roskamp Institute's inaugural Grey Matters luncheon. 

The luncheon brought community members and leaders in the field of Alzheimer's research together for a discussion on the disease and its future treatment.
