Happy Independence Day

A lot of our elders have fought for our hard earned freedom, July 4Th is an excellent day to show appreciation to our elders for paving the way for many of the freedoms and comforts that we take for granted today.

Please call your nearest retirement center and volunteer for a couple of hours and show your appreciation, you can bring a little gift from the dollar store, or even a card. Most retirement centers appreciate volunteers and a lot of them will have activities this July 4Th .

Key West Convalescent Center will be having a cookout complete with Watermelon seed spitting contest and ElderAbuseHelp.Org will be there to bring some cheer to the activities with a Karaoke contest from 12-2PM . Please be there if you can.
