48 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | SEPTEMBER 2017 | Where has this year gone? We are already into September and I am thinking the holidays will be approaching. Time sure does fly when you're having fun. Save the date, Dec. 21, for our annual holiday luncheon at Johnny Russo's Italian Kitchen — details to follow in the months ahead. Our next meeting and caregivers support group will be Thurs., Sept. 21 at 10 am in the Main Clubhouse 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. If you are no longer a caregiver because your loved one is living in a memory care facility, YOU NEED THIS SUPPORT GROUP. This is another major change in your life and we are here for you. Those of you who are caregivers 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. There is no guest speaker this month. This will give you more time for the support group, which everyone needs. During this meeting your loved one is welcome in the Arts and Craft Room for games, exercises and an hour of live entertainment. Thank you to Tin Man's Heart for the wonderful entertainment they provided to our loved ones in August. If you have any questions and would like to learn more about Memory Loss, we have reading material we can loan you. Call Diane, 769-0130 or Anne, 845-8700. Remember, we are here to help.
