LOOK TWICE,

SAVE A LIFE

Spring is here and warmer weather means there are

more motorcycles on the road and you should be

very aware of your surroundings. Before you pull

out in the street make sure you look twice please ……….. motorcycles are everywhere and can be

difficult to see in the road especially the black

ones! Like mine!! So take an extra minute or so to

look out for that motorcycle that just might be

me ridin’ on down the road!!

Bring your own beverage.

The extraordinary true story of an unexpected friendship in the later years of Queen Victoria’s remarkable rule. When Abdul Karim, a young

cler, travels from India to participate in the Queen’s Golden Jubilee, he is surprised to find

favor with the Queen herself. As the Queen questions the constrictions of her long-held

position, the two forge an unlikely and devoted alliance with a loyalty to one another that her

household and inner circle all attempt to destroy. As the friendship deepens, the Queen begins to

see a changing world through new eyes and joyfully reclaims her humanity.

“March winds, April showers bring us May Flowers” has been our theme since March.

It’s now May and we will take the first theme ever offered in the suggestion

envelope (located on the photo board), May Flowers!! Start looking for pictures of your

past gardens, bouquets, corsages ………. even guys with boutonnieres! Get Creative

and think spring!!

If you add your name on the back or below your photo, (if you mount it on

another piece of paper) it will be returned at the end of each month in the large

envelope on the photo board located next to our library. You are also welcome to

suggest themes for upcoming months as well!! The suggestion for this month was

anonymously dropped in the envelope quite some time ago and was really appreciated. It’s challenging

thinking up new themes!!

medication disposal and free document

make an appointment on Wednesdays between 1:00 and 3:00 pm if you need

any assistance that is more complicated in nature. If it’s easy-peasy, then just

come on Wednesdays between 1:00 and 3:00 and unless we are busy with

someone who has made an appointment, we can help.

Peace of Mind Seminar
