You can relax at the meeting, learn from our guest speakers and know that your loved one is well taken care of in the Arts & Crafts Room by our very loving and capable volunteers. We also have a monthly support group. It is designed to help you cope and meet people living in similar situations as you. Our next meeting will be Thurs., July 18, at 10 am in the Main Clubhouse Multipurpose Room. Our guest speaker will be Darlene Merkler from the Riverside Office of Aging. Her topic will be "Every thing you always wanted to know about the Riverside Office of Aging but were afraid to ask."
