Big Band Dance 80s Plus Club For our December gathering, Ed Avina performed his wonderful repertoire of Christmas songs and golden oldies! Ed enjoys playing for the 80s Club almost as much as the 80s Club enjoys him. He sang during the meal and was enjoyed by all. What a joy Ed is to this group. Thank you very much, Ed!

Make plans to take a walk, listen to some music, take in a movie at the Fox, or prepare a special dinner for two. Whatever you do, enjoy the time you have together. Our next meeting and caregivers' support group will be on Thurs., Feb. 16 at 10 am in the Multipurpose Room. These meetings are not only educational for you the caregiver, but are also a support group for you. All caregivers are welcome at these meetings. You do not have to be caring for a person with memory loss to attend. We are here to support and educate you, plus entertain your loved one while you are attending the meeting. Our guest speaker this month is Jeffrey Martinez, Director at The Lakes. He will present topics of interest to caregivers as well as discuss plans to expand the Lakes Memory Care Unit to the assisted living area, for people not seriously memory impaired. During this meeting your loved one is welcome in the Arts and Craft Room for games, exercises and an hour of live entertainment. This month Ray Rendon will entertain. Ray is always so generous with his time and talent. If you have any questions and would like to learn more about Memory Loss, we have reading material we can loan you.
