Thanks to everyone who participated in Bingo on July 20.

Bingo is a fundraiser for the Foundation. Whether you played, and/or volunteered, we appreciate your support for the work we do on behalf of our community.  July 20 was the last scheduled Bingo for 2025. Be on the lookout for our next scheduled dates coming up in 2026 as soon as those are confirmed.
In our next Courier article, we will provide a mid-year update on our community partners Del Oro Caregiver Resources and Seniors First.

What we know is that there are ongoing, as well as increasing needs, especially for Caregiving resources.  With cutbacks in community program budgets, SCR Foundation partnering with Del Oro has helped residents receive needed resources in the past six months. There are still Caregiving needs that we can assist in providing if we are aware of resident interest.

One of those is planning for a Caregiver Support Group modeled on how Sun City Lincoln worked with Del Oro to provide.

If you have a need for a group like this, please let the Foundation know. You can contact us through our website at scrfoundation.org or direct email at scrfoundationej@gmail.com.  
Our new and updated website is a work in progress. Our goal is to make it more comprehensive, easier to access and resident/user friendly. It will also allow us to post Foundation news more easily and keep residents up to date on events or activities.  We will be outlining those changes as soon as the redesign is completed. And, for anyone that can be challenged by websites, we have learned that AARP members have access to some senior computer classes that could help with internet use and navigation. That AARP information can be accessed through their website, or you can call the phone line on your card. 
August is a month that highlights Wellness. Whether it is used in Blue Zones philosophy, or other entities focused on creating and sustaining better health later in life, Wellness has become a frequently used word. And it can be vague. Synthesizing terms and definitions of Wellness together, the resulting word gets used to describe a positive state of being as well as different paths and ways of achieving and working towards individual health goals. Please look for an expanded article highlighting Wellness and how it connects with the Foundation’s Mission Statement and Goals in our next E Courier article available mid-August.
