A mid-year view into Circle of Care

Posted

It is July; half the year has evaporated with the rain. Circle of Care is growing and expanding. We have a new board member, new volunteers and new “proud members” who will be taking a more active role in helping us expand our services and guide our direction. We are proud to be of service to all the residents of our community as we continually work to improve what and how we provide our services.

Our mission is, “Connecting residents with volunteers and professional services so they can stay in their homes and community.”

The Circle of Care bus is back in service on Thursdays for medical appointments in Bellingham and area. Please make your appointments between 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., if possible. Call 360/945-5222 for Thursday pickup at your home.

We have medical durable equipment to lend. Please call 360/945-5222 for any requests.

Our volunteer services are numerous. Let us know how we can help you. Our upcoming events will include the Fourth of July Parade with the bus; blackberry pie sale in late July; a reception and silent auction for a concert in early August (date TBD); and the sponsoring of Apple Harvest Fest in late September/early October (when the apples are ready).

We would like to hear about what more you would like to see us do. How can we serve you in new ways? How can we communicate with you more effectively? Would you like transportation to and from Wednesday and Friday lunches at the community center?

What would you like to know about us? For those of you who do not know, our board of trustees includes Galen Wood, president, Louise Cassidy, treasurer, Robbi Nielson, secretary, Barbara Bradstock, Isobel Brophy, Virginia Lester, Shive Marshall, Bill Zidel and Annelle Norman, executive director.

If you have questions or thoughts to share, feel free to ask any board member. Or call Galen 303/378-5393 or Annelle 303/945-5222.
