Welcome summertime! Although we will still have some chilly nights happening, the days are warmer and brighter, there is green all around us and the flowers are coming out. Be sure to let a little fresh air in, or if you can, step outside for a little while. Just sitting on the porch or taking a short walk and enjoying some sunshine or a light breeze can uplift how we are feeling a lot. Take in as much of the beautiful weather and growth going on as you can. It can change your day tremendously.
The food pick-ups happening this month are The Golden Grocery Giveaway Program (senior cheese box) will be happening on Tuesday, June 18, from 10- 11 a.m. The Together We Can Food Pantry will be on Thurs., June 20, from 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. They ask that you bring ID to show you live in the county and a banana box if you have one. If they run out of food, they will be gone before 2:30. Both food pick-ups happen at the fairgrounds.
The Council’s monthly Board meeting will be on Mon., June 10, at 1 p.m. Members of the public are welcome to attend.
Project Fresh coupons have arrived. These are coupons that that can be used at Farmers Markets to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables. There is qualifying criteria and an application that is required to be filled out. Don’t wait to find out if you are eligible, they have only sent the same amount as last year and I am sure they will go quickly. Come to or call the Senior Center to see about being eligible to receive these great coupons.
June is the month that we honor our fathers. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there and to the moms who have had to be both.
Tai Chi class will be finishing up by the end of June. Hopefully we can get another class or activity going soon after. Walking with Ease has been suggested as the next possibility. I will let you know as soon as we find out.
I am not able at this time to say if there will be an exercise class every Tuesday in June. The instructor has had a medical issue and is not sure if she will be available for all of them. We will keep this information updated on our Facebook page for the June exercise classes that are happening.
June’s full moon, also called the Strawberry Moon, will be beautifully shining on the 21st. Hope you get to see it!
There is always at least one thing to be grateful for daily. Have a spectacular month and keep smiling! Pass on the smiles to brighten someone else’s day too. Please be kind, it is such an easy thing to do! The world sure needs more smiles, positivity, and kindness. A small kind gesture goes along way. We are not alone; everyone is struggling with something.
