Thanks to Sandy St. John for her efforts in bringing the Mayor of Hemet to a discussion on a number of subjects of concern to our residents as well as Hemet at large.

We appreciate the efforts of Jennifer Partridge from Arbor Hospice who helps get this program rolling every year. Thanks to Mary Swinney for her contribution in making this a special yearly event for our residents. June Program – Pat Hall will be presenting a program, entitled "Do You Really Know Your Ancestors?" Pat will explain what genealogy is and how you can get started learning about your ancestors. Celebrations of Life/Memorials: The family of Doris Stephan held a memorial on April 28 at the Church of the Good Shepherd (Episcopal) in Hemet. Our heartfelt sympathies go to this wonderful family who we were privileged to meet and share some special time. Team Sunshine's dessert gals provided the cookies and other desserts for the memorial. There may be others in the community who are mourning the loss of a loved one. We extend our condolences to these families as well.

This form can also be used for various kinds of needs assistance. In case you prefer not to call but would like us to know of a need, this form will record your concern and will be passed on to the appropriate Team Sunshiner. Medical Equipment: We do have medical equipment that we deliver and pick up from residents. We do, however, stress that the return of medical equipment to the lodge be discontinued. Please call Jeanne Lincoln (765-7112) and you will be advised of the proper disposition of same. Many thanks for your cooperation.
