| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | JUNE 2016 |27 What a wonderful month! For the few of us who still have our dads, we can once again honor them. Happy Father's Day to all the dads. Summer is finally here and we can enjoy the outdoors again. I hope you are planning a few short trips and enjoying all life has to offer. Don't forget this month is Charity Week (begins June 20). There are so many things to do or just observe. There will be fireworks Fri., June 24, so I hope you can participate in something. It is always an enjoyable week. Our next meeting and caregiver support group will meet on Thurs., June 16 at 10 am in the Main Clubhouse Multipurpose Room. We do not have a guest speaker for June. This will allow you to spend more time with the support group, which is such a need for so many of you. Larry Liebers, who along with Diane Stone lead the support group, have passed away. It is always so hard to lose someone who has given so much of themselves. Our patient group meets in the Arts and Craft Room. This group is designed to help you, the caregiver. Just drop your loved one off and go on to the meeting. Enjoy the meeting and support group knowing your loved one is well taken care of and having fun. We play games, do exercises, have entertainment and do just about anything your loved one wants. Our volunteers are loving and caring. This month Ray Rendon will entertain us. He sings Sinatra and our group sings along with him. If you have any questions about the meeting, support group or patient group, call me Anne at 845-8700 or Diane at 769-0130. We are here to help you. We also have reading material we can loan you. Give Joanie a call at 769-1386.
