Activities: Joyce asked that anyone who cannot attend
an activity they signed up for, please, please (that’s not a
typo) call the coordinator and let them know. Last week’s Art Walk had 5 no shows not
calling. Often the number of members
registered for an activity requires special arrangements by staff at the
facility. Then too if you’re not there
and we don’t hear from you, we worry about you.
