Notes From The Council

Please join us in the Hall on Wednesday, January 5th at 11:00 AM when Elizabeth Doughty will be doing a workshop on Fall Prevention. There are lots of things we can do to minimize the risk of falling, from wearing the right shoes to exercises to improve balance. If interested, Elizabeth can do balance screening and is available to do a home safety assessment. She has suggestions that can make your home environment safer. It is especially important to avoid those slip and fall injuries that require a trip to the overcrowded emergency room! The Hall has HEPA filters, masks required, seating will be socially distanced, and you must be fully vaccinated to attend. Soup is back! Well, with a new (and hopefully short term) look….Many people have said they really miss being able to go to Wednesday Soup Lunch. But many people have also said they feel uneasy about getting together and eating lunch

with folks who may be at a higher risk of COVID exposure. The desire for social interaction is real. Over the last year many people have developed small groups or “pods” that share a similar approach to protecting their health. So, Soup Lunch will become Soup for Your Pod. Invite your usual gang to your house and come to the Hall to pick up “Soup Lunch To Go” and have Wednesday Soup Lunch at your house! This is something new so we are still working out the details. We plan to start on Wednesday January 12 th . Our plan right now is that you can come to the Hall and a volunteer will come to your car, take your order, and bring your Soup Lunch for Your Pod to your car. Your Pod can’t come? Then pick up soup for yourself, your family, or an extra for the next day. Again, this is an experiment – an effort to encourage people to get together in a way that allows that much needed social interaction in a safe setting.
