A little taste of what’s happening at SCS this week…

What do cucumber salad, watercolor paintings, volunteering, birthday celebrations, and taking control of chronic pain have in common?

They’re ALL in this week’s Friday Five!

At Good Neighbor, members learned about healthy eating and cooking with COSA Nutrition Consultant Danielle Burke, and got to taste a delicious cucumber salad at the end of the presentation!

At Schoolhouse, we’ve got an important watercolor class time correction (and a little inspiration for trying your own watercolor project at home).

We’re also looking ahead to fall and inviting YOU to find your place as an SCS volunteer. Whether you’d rather deliver meals, lend a hand inside a center, or share a special skill, there’s a place for you!

+ Next week we’re celebrating August birthdays at Chester and sharing information about COSA’s upcoming FREE Power Over Pain program for older adults living with chronic pain.

Ready to see it all in today's newsletter?
