It is hard to believe we are in the fifth month of 2025.   In May, we acknowledge mothers who are or have been in our lives. It is also a month for remembering those that are no longer with us personally and collectively. 
SCR Foundation participated in the Mix and Mingle sponsored by the Volunteer Committee.  It was fun, beautifully decorated and easy to imagine we were all at Mardi Gras for a couple hours.  Our Chair, Doug Smoot and Vice Chair, Kathi Stropki were glad to see residents come by our table, get information and talk about various volunteer opportunities in the SCR Foundation  
Those opportunities are everywhere.  The SCR Foundation will have several openings coming up for new Board members as some Board Terms are being completed.  We are a working Non-Profit, 501c3 Board. We meet monthly in the Club Room, on the second Friday of the month; residents are welcome to attend.  Board Committees or special project teams meet during the month as needed. Everyone involved is a volunteer and your neighbor. Being a Board member is a way to actively participate in the work of SCR Foundation and give back to the SCR community.   Regardless of the many things that are done through SCR Foundation, our mission always remains the same; we are here on behalf of our neighbors to develop and facilitate supportive activities, resources and projects.   Members are involved in providing funding for things such as CPR and First Aid training; being trained as a phone volunteer to return calls for SCR Foundation; developing resources with community partners on behalf of residents;  helping with Bingo; updating the Survivor’s Guide and making sure new residents receive them; reviewing Grant Proposals for funding; or becoming a part of our most recognized program, the wonderful Maintenance Teams.   Members also participate on an as needed basis for various events or projects.    
If any of the above sounds like a way you would like to volunteer for SCR Foundation, please fill out a Volunteer Application and drop it off at the Administration Office. You can also reach out to the Board directly for more information through our website scrfoundation.org or leave a message at

(916) 774-9040 and a SCR Foundation volunteer will call you back. 
Beginning this month, SCR Foundation will have a quarterly Article in the ECourier.  Please look for our first article online, mid-May, on Caregiving.
