Rolling Hills - June 2020

Hello Volunteers!

I am hoping that you all are doing well.

Due to the current Covid-19 situation, we are still unsure of

when we can allow volunteers and visitors into the building, and how that will look once we are able to. This is all dependent on when the

Federal and State government deems it safe again. Because of

this, the volunteer appreciation is not rescheduled at this time.

Thank you to everyone for being patient and understanding during all of this. Keeping distance at this time is continuing to help keep our

residents safe.

We have recently received a trishaw

bike to use with our residents. This

bike has an electric assist but does

require pedaling. This is a shared

bike, and Rolling Hills has access to

it the second half of the month. If

you are interested in learning to

use the bike with our residents,

please let me know.
