November Meeting

Our next support meeting is coming up on Monday 14th November, at 12.30.

We thought it would be nice to have a discussion about the activities we enjoy doing and which bring us pleasure. What, if any, adjustments have we had to make to continue doing them? So give it some thought, and come along and share! It could be anything – gardening, music, scrapbooking, dancing, etc. We may learn some interesting things about each other, or even discover shared hobbies.

If you would like to come along, but have no transport, please let me know and I will endeavour to arrange something for you. Likewise, if you are coming, and are able to offer someone a lift, also let me know.

I hope to see you there!
Sandra
