Hello Young at Heart Friends and Family;
Last week we had a wonderful trip visiting the Veterans Home on Monroe. It is a beautiful place that provides a home with a small community feel for those Veterans that require daily medical attention. We enjoyed lunch and a fun variety show with John Foley, Lori Jacobs, Patrick Foley and others.
This week, we are highlighting some of the works of our woodcarvers. Spring is coming as evidenced in these recent relief carvings.
THIS WEEK: Once again we are blessed with the senior Nursing Students. I apologize for the short notice, but based on your feedback these are the presentations they are going to be doing this week, Wednesday, April 9 and April 23.
Calvin Nursing Student Presentations:
Wednesday, April 9 @ 10:45-Noon. The students will do brief presentations on Cardiac, Diabetic and Renal Diets. They will also share simple and small portion recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. AND bring samples!!!!
Wednesday, April 23 @10:45-Noon. The students will teach us how to read food labels, and eat smartly to increase immunities and hydration. They will also reflect on the “Sick Day Rules” for Diabetics.
