30 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | JULY 2019 | Happy Fourth of July! Hope you noticed our new name last month. We are now Caregiver Support Group. We are a support group that all caregivers can attend. You will have the opportunity to speak freely about the challenges you are facing. Having others in similar circumstances to share with is very therapeutic. You do not have to be caring for someone with Memory Loss, we are here for all! Every few months we have a guest speaker sharing their knowledge on topics that will be of interest to you. Our next meeting and support group will be on Thurs., July 18, and Mon., July 22. Both meetings will be at 10 am in the Main Clubhouse Multipurpose Room. There will be NO PATIENT CARE in the Arts and Craft Room during the Monday meeting. We will continue to offer Patient care at all the Thursday meetings. This month's guest speaker is Darlene Merkler. Darlene has 30 years experience working in senior health care. She is currently doing Business Development for VNA Hospice and Palliative Care of Southern California. VNA Southern California has been around since 1952 and is not for profit. Come listen and learn. You are invited to attend as many meetings each month as you can fit into your schedule. We have a wonderful program for the patients in the Arts and Crafts Room. Ed Avina will once again be entertaining this group. We have fun, we sing, dance and just enjoy listening to songs from the past years. So drop your loved one off at the Arts and Crafts Room on your way to the meeting. We are a group of loving caregivers. We enjoy caring for your loved one so you can go to the meeting and not worry about them. If you have any questions, would like to learn more about Memory Loss, or would like reading material that we can loan you, call Diane, at (951) 769-0130, Doug at (360) 840-5559 or Anne at (951) 845- 8700. Remember we are here to help. Caregiver Support Group In April we had three different International Dancers from our Sun Lakes International Dancers. They were very festive, beautiful and talented with Flamenco and Folklorico dances. Thank you very much to our own Sun Lakes International Dancers! Our July entertainment will be Frank Lenz, who plays the accordion and was a huge hit with our group when he performed for us a couple of years ago. Frank was an incredibly pleasant surprise last time when he played through our dinner and people didn't want to leave because they continued dancing to his music. The anticipation for his return is quite high. Come join us or visit to see if you'd like to join us. You can attend one month without becoming a member. We think it'll be worth your while and you'll have a good time. Just be sure and let us know by the fifth of the month for a reservation for our head count for the caterer. 80s Plus Club
