12th Annual Christmas Bazaar

& Bake Sale Raises $3,300

For Hillsboro Firefighters’

Toy and Joy Program

Thank you to everyone who helped us reach our goal

Fighters’ Toy and Joy Program, is a combination of

funds collected at the 12th annual Christmas

Marketplace Bazaar on November 17th, proceeds

from the November 27th bake sale, and a canister

drive.

The Toy and Joy Program was created by dedicated

firefighters and employees from the City of Hillsboro

who believe they can make a difference in the

community in ways besides their emergency

responses and daily interaction with the public.

is one of the few musical styles created right here in

the United States. Barbershop singing is four part

When we are prescribed a new medication, it is

important to know which foods, if any, will affect

how well the medication works.

Some important diet-related questions to ask our

doctor or pharmacist are:

Does it matter if I take my medication on a full

or empty stomach?

May I drink alcohol while on this medication?

Are there certain foods or supplements I should

avoid while taking this medication?

Are there certain foods or supplements I should

start taking while on this medication?

Understanding which foods to avoid and which to

start eating while taking a new medication will help

avoid diet-related medication side effects.

Foeppel, RPh, PharmD, and Pacific University.

Here’s an idea for a great

holiday hearing gift this year!

If you have hearing loss and your family is looking

for hints on what to buy for “the parent who has

everything,” here’s an idea!

As you know, Cornell Estates has an assistive

hearing system in the Party Room for residents

attending travelogues, lectures, music, etc. Hearing

receiver units are lent on a first come/request basis

but we only have 6 of them, and they go quick at the

start of each event.

If you would like your own personal hearing

receiver unit to assure you have one to use at each

event, they cost about $100 and can be ordered

through Cornell Estates.

Sign up at the Front Desk for more

information on a great holiday

hearing gift!
