 Caregiver support group

I haven’t heard from anyone yet, so please give me a call to let me know what you would like this group to look like and what meeting time during the day works for you.

Those of us involved in caregiving know the challenges at hand. Days/moments may be bright and cheery, other times can be flat, not so great and frustrating. At times, it is helpful to have the opportunity to be able to chat with others in similar situations. You can find suggestions on how to handle certain situations, gather information or just be able to vent. There are many facets to caregiving — don’t let it get you down.

I am in the midst of gathering suggestions concerning formation of a caregiver support group, but I need to hear from you to make it work. Please give me a call at 264-2167, Ext. 28, and let me know what day of the week and time is best for you. Without your input, I cannot put a group together. I look forward to hearing from you.

AARP driver safety class

A class will be held Thursday, Sept.12, 11:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Registration is required. AARP members $12, non-members $14. For further information and to register, call Lois O’Dell at 259-5589.
