22 | OHCC LIVING | AUGUST 2025 | June Gloom and Grey May are well behind us, and the kids are still visiting. We've been working hard at Grandma's Closet! Please plan ahead as much as possible, since many items in our inventory are very popular. We recommend securing reservations as soon as you receive your guests' itineraries to avoid being caught short- handed, especially when it comes to our precious little ones. If you need items for babies or young children, Grandma's Closet may have just what you need! We maintain a list of individuals who have items available for loan, including their contact information and the specific items they wish to share. When someone inquires about borrowing, we will provide this list so that the donor and recipient can arrange the details. These loans are intended for our residents' visiting grandchildren. Borrowed items (excluding car seats and booster seats) are not to be taken out of the village or used by anyone other than the borrower. If you have items to loan out such as strollers, car seats, carriers, Pack'n'Plays, high chairs, books, toys, games, or puzzles, please email Naomi at NaomiBKatz@iCloud.com and/or Rich at redcisc@ gmail.com. Be sure to include the items, their age-appropriateness, and your name, address, phone number, and email address for inclusion on the list. Should you find yourself in need of an item or two, please reach out to Rich or Naomi, and we will send you the list. Additionally, if your visiting grandchildren have left behind items you won't need them for a while, consider offering them for loan at Grandma's Closet. If you have clothing or furniture for babies or children that you can't store or use, please let us know. We would be happy to pick up the items and deliver them to Father Joe's Village, which is always needed. Thank you for your attention and anticipated assistance. Your continued generosity and support are truly appreciated. ~ Naomi B Katz, naomibkatz@icloud.com, (954) 243-4291 Grandma's Closet Shuttle Service In past issues I have talked about how easy it is to sign up for the shuttle service. Before your FIRST trip you need to go to the Clubhouse to sign this liability form. This only has to be done ONE time. Then each time you want to travel on the shuttle all that is necessary is for you to call the Clubhouse front desk (760) 758-8772 by 3 pm the day BEFORE your desired trip. Tell them where you want to go and the shuttle will come to pick you up AT YOUR HOME at the assigned time. There are transportation schedule forms at the Clubhouse which show all the destinations for Tuesday and Thursday trips, the back of which shows many of the businesses located at each location. So, pick one up today and plan your next scheduled fun outing. Remember needing an assistive device is not a problem and our helpful driver can assist you getting in and out of the shuttle. He can also assist you with taking your shopping bags into your garage. We thank the Master Board for continuing to fund this amenity which gives a little more independence to those of us who can no longer drive or those who prefer not to.
