Monday Connections: Seniors Connections Network (Online), 10:00 to 11:00 am
Rebuilding the Seniors Connections Network is well underway. This volunteer network is about developing connections with seniors in our community, in a variety of ways. If you are interested in being a part of this network, please reach out to Debbie to arrange some time to connect and explore the possibilities.
Caregiver Connections, the Third Thursday of the Month, 7:00 to 9:00 pm
Our Caregiver Connections group is offered online from 7:00 to 9:00 pm on the third Thursday of the month until June 20, 2024. There will be no scheduled sessions during July and August but please connect with Debbie at any time.
Connecting with someone outside of family and friends can help when we are feeling overwhelmed or just need someone to talk to. Just send Debbie an email or call and she will be more than happy to set up a different time to connect with you. There are other connections that you may be interested in, so don’t hesitate to explore the possibilities. If you don’t have a computer or internet access, leave Debbie a phone call (403-283-0554 ext. 224) or email ([email protected]).
