Seniors Housing Forum

It is a pleasure to bring the 2009 Seniors Housing Forum to your attention. The Seniors Housing Forum is scheduled for Saturday, September 26, 2009, 8:30 AM – 2:30 PM at the Central Lions Senior Citizens’ Recreation Centre, 11113 113 St., Edmonton. It is an informative, free event designed to provide seniors and caregivers an excellent opportunity to learn more about seniors housing and resources that support older adults in their homes. More information is available on the health bulletin board in the church narthex or on the website: http://seniorshousingforum.blogspot.com. In the past, people interested in participated have car pooled from the Riverbend area. Perhaps that could again be arranged if you let me know that you are intending to participate.

Flu Season Again!

This fall more than ever, hand washing is critical to your health and wellbeing and the health of others. Hand-washing is so simple yet one of the most health promoting actions one can take. Proper hand-washing involves soap (any kind) and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Rub your hands vigorously under hot water for at least 15 seconds....the time it takes you to sing “Happy Birthday to You”. And when you are in the church building, remember to use the hand sanitizers strategically placed around the church. The one in the front entry can easily be used as you enter and leave the church building. Another hand sanitizer is in the nursery and there is one in the kitchen area. Especially during this fall flu season, we want to only greet one another with clean hands!

If you feel unwell this fall, please do yourself and everyone else a favour by refraining from attending church related events or other places where you might expose others to the possibility of getting ill as well. Thank you for taking good care of yourself and others!
