🌟 Community Shout-Out & Thank You! 🌟
What a wonderful Seniors on the Go gathering today at the Alcouffe Center!
A heartfelt thank you to all of our volunteers who came out today. Because the Alcouffe Center served as a polling location yesterday, we had to complete our entire room setup this morning before the luncheon. Thanks to the extra helping hands and everyone pitching in, everything came together beautifully.
What made today especially memorable was the wonderful mix of volunteers who showed up to help. Several younger community members joined us, including a local high school student, and their energy and willingness to jump in wherever needed was greatly appreciated. In fact, some of our regular volunteers were actually able to take a little break and enjoy the event for a change because there were enough helping hands to share the workload. It was a great example of community members of all ages working together, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped.
A special thank you goes to Dr. Conner for an informative and engaging presentation on pet health and safety. We appreciate you sharing your knowledge on topics such as rattlesnakes and wildlife encounters, ticks and foxtails, heat safety, fireworks anxiety, evacuation planning, and other important ways to keep our furry family members safe and healthy.
We were also pleased to provide fresh produce and pantry items to attendees, helping connect our community with healthy food resources.
A special shout-out to the Dobbins Oregon House Thrift Store for generously offering Seniors on the Go attendees 50% off purchases today. Thank you for supporting our local seniors and community!
📢 A few upcoming announcements:
💻 We recently received some exciting news regarding a future digital literacy project for older adults. While we can’t formally announce the details yet because AARP will be making the national announcement first, we’re very excited about the opportunity and look forward to sharing more information with the community later this month.
🧘 Yoga is now offered at the Alcouffe Center every Tuesday and Friday at 10:00 AM.
🎲 Game Night is held every Friday from 6:00 PM to Midnight. Come enjoy games, friends, and a fun evening in the community.
🏠 Habitat for Humanity will be joining us on July 1 to share information about programs and resources available to local residents.
🪑 We also have a community member looking to give away a roll-top desk. If you or someone you know may be interested, please send us a message and we’ll connect you.
Thank you all for helping make Seniors on the Go such a special program. We look forward to seeing everyone again soon!
