Dear Friends,

Although the High Holidays, Sukkot and Simchat Torah are behind us, that does not mean the energy and positivity is behind us too. We're carrying it forward and using it in the weeks, months, and year ahead!

We are returning to more regular programs this month, which includes Walking with Friends every Tuesday at 5pm. If you have not had a chance to join us for our weekly 1.5 mile walk on the Braes Bayou walking trail, here is your invitation! Keep it in mind if you are looking for any exercise time, and friends to do it with together. No weekly commitment required!

On Sunday, October 10th, the Volunteer kickoff will be held. Exciting activities planned, and a chance for any teen volunteers, ages 13 - 18, to see what the volunteering opportunities are at The Houston Friendship Circle. For more information please see below, or contact Friendship Circle Volunteer Coordinator, Audrey Goodman.

Friends@Home is back, following the Volunteer Kickoff! Exciting add on the year is our very own toybrary, (toy lending library) for Friends@Home buddies. We already have a great selection of board games that are available and can be taken with to weekly Friends@Home visits! We could still use a few more to add to the collection. If you would like to get involved and sponsor a game, you can do so by going to our
Amazon Wish List, and purchasing a game, which will be delivered directly to The Friendship Circle, and place immediately into the toybrary, ready for it to be used for fun times and friendship.

We look forward to the programming year ahead. Please keep an eye and ear out for more info on The Annual Friendship Walk. Dates, times, and exciting changes to follow.

Wishing you a successful month ahead.


Warm regards,
The Friendship Circle Team
