While our weather doesn’t reflect a “winter” season, our calendar does.  Today is the last day of our summer calendar. Thank you to Joyce J. for your help in planning the summer activities and events.  Your effort was greatly appreciated by many!

Business first!

Maintenance Notes –  The closing of Pool 2 for cleaning Mon. Oct. 18 – Sun. the 24th has been cancelled for now.

Pool Hours –  Pool 1 will be open beginning Fri. Oct. 15, 7am-10pm.  If the morning is brisk, the water may not be as warm as usual due to a heater that has decided to have an attitude.   Pool 2 opens Fri. Oct. 15 at 8am – 10pm for the winter season.

Activity Office –

Weekly Events will be available Fri. Oct. 15!  This communication provides you a week overview for every room and the activity is being held! Pool 1 and Pool 2 also have their activities noted as well.  Stop by the Activity Office for your copy during business hours.

Flu Shot Clinic – We are pleased to report that Walgreens will be hosting their Flu Shot Clinic on Mon. Nov. 08, 1-3pm at the Hole in the Wall.  Sign up in  Activities by Wed. Nov. 03.  Vaccines that will be available are the flu,  high dose flu (over 65), Pneumonia and Shingles.  If you have had the Pneumonia and/or Shingles vaccine, please be able to provide the date you had the previous dose when signing up.  This helps the Pharmacists when ordering product for the event.  Make sure you check with your insurance on the co-pay for the shingles vaccine as it can be quite costly and bring your insurance info with you on the day of the clinic.
