It’s a hot one out there! I hope you all are remembering to drink lots of water, stay inside where it is cool, and if you do have to go outside, limit your time and wear plenty of sunscreen. We are staying cool here at the Center though, and you can CLICK HERE to view, download and print the Summer Schedule. Free parking, great air conditioning, and lots of friendly people are waiting for you at the Center, so I hope to see you soon! Don’t forget to register for everything you want to attend. We still have limited class sizes for social distancing.
NEW ONLINE CONTENT, such as virtual tours, fitness videos, art lessons, recorded presentations and more, is posted Monday - Thursday at Noon on our Programs page HERE. Lots of great stuff you can do online from home to check out!
Have a safe and healthy weekend, and stay cool!!

“When one is ill, two need help.” If you are a spouse or partner of someone who has a chronic illness or disability, your life is likely much more complex than you had planned. The reality is that most life/future plans that we had imagined may be difficult, if not impossible, to achieve, and may require a major adjustment in our thinking. Joining our peer-led support group may be the first step in helping to create your “new normal”, and get support for the self-care that is greatly needed to continue on this sometimes arduous journey.
Facilitator: Brian Rickman has extensive spousal caregiver experience. For more information, contact Brian Rickman at 774-249-2494 or brian.rickman@gmail.com.
