Spring Creek Community Club
This month we feature our OUTREACH committee serving Louisa County Resource Council (cardboard flattened and placed in shed, clothing, food, plastic grocery bags left in box in library, and now a new dental program) and the Belmont Clothing Center with clothing and home goods.
 Louisa County Resource Council Dental ProgramThe Louisa County Resource Council has initiated a Dental Program addressing a critical need for Dental Care in Louisa. With over 56% of adults in Louisa not receiving dental care, the general health issues this contributes to are dramatic. The Dental Care program (for details click HERE) as described is designed to provide emergency dental care in addition to an initial evaluation and cleaning. The goal is to address the emergency issue and to establish a working relationship between the Dentist and Patient for future care. The cost, $300 for the initial visit for each patient, would be covered by a voucher received through the Resource Council. I hope that as a community, we can fund a number of those $300 vouchers (unit of care). The voucher contribution could be done by an individual or a group (dividing the unit up into a smaller per capita amount). As we have done with the Cardboard Program where we realize a regular contribution of over $200 per month, a sustaining contribution provides stability and continuity to the program. Please consider this option as it makes a direct, meaningful impact on the Louisa Community, our neighbors. Questions or donations: contact Greg Shasby gshasby@gmail.com 859-200-6357

Residents at Spring Creek have concerns about the recent home invasion in our community. That invasion has been reported to the Louisa County Sheriff’s Office. The homeowner involved noted the very professional way the responding officers handled the situation. We will provide updates at the Advisory Council meetings as those updates become available.
In the meantime, you may find the two links below useful.

 Thanks to the HEART HEALTH Month committee Gertie Sanders, Kathy Cooney, Tracy Alpern,Beth McIvor and Sue Grenert for all the heart healthy information provided during the month of February. Learning to use the AED located in the Sports Club was extremely beneficial for all in attendance. The panel discussion with a cardiologist and nutritionist provided excellent information for improving health and recognizing when medical intervention might be necessary. The calendars with activities beneficial to all across the lifespan were a daily reminder of the importance of exercise, activities and food choices. Thank you for caring about our community and providing educational opportunities.
