Club Prior Press

DECEMBER 2019/JANUARY 2020

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! It’s here and it’s time to celebrate

sending 2019 to rest and ringing in 2020! There is so much to be grateful for

this past year from Club Prior. First and foremost the very generous donation

from the Lions and the Rotary for their financial contribution for our AV up-

grade.

Stop by Club Prior and enjoy a festive cup of coffee or tea with friends. You

will enjoy the holiday music, decorations and atmosphere of the Club this sea-

son. All decked out with fresh poinsettias, garland, Christmas tree and all the

windows decorated with a magical village.

We are happy to announce several new ways to help us help others this holiday

season. Bring a canned donation for our Club Prior Pantry to help feed those

that need a little extra this holiday season. Also looking for socks for those in

the community that might need warm dry feet during these cold weather

months. We will always take gift cards and purchase supplies for our commu-

nity partners. Club Prior also started an Amazon Wish List that you can look

up and purchase items right from there and will be shipped directly to City Hall

for us! There is a giving tree in the lobby of the library building that we are

looking for start up supplies for our Memory Café as this is growing and find-

ing we need resources and support for these loved ones in the community.

I wish each of you a blessed Christmas and healthy, happy new year! Make

me a promise and make this the year you come see what Club Prior is all

about. You won’t regret walking in and being greeted instantly by new friends

and things to do.

Honoring Choices

Make it a goal to go into the new year with having all

your final affairs in order for your loved ones. This in-

cludes your final wishes documented, legal documents up

to date and medical charts scanned into the health system

for your team of doctors. I am available to help you sort

through the process of either starting a conversation with

your loved ones about filling out a health directive and

why it’s important to have all your wishes heard.

Do you take the free fitness classes at Club Prior and enjoy com-

ing week after week? To continue to keep these classes at no

charge to you, we ask that participants give a donation back to

Club Prior comparable to what it would cost to take these clas-

ses at another location. We pay our instructors who are profes-

sionally trained, First Aid certified for your safety and at a rate

that they charge to teach other places. Please mark your dona-

tion “FITNESS FUND” and place in the wooden box under the

clock by the coffee service. We thank you very much for your

continued support and see the value in these classes we provide

at Club Prior. We are looking at adding more classes for 2020,

however, we would have to see more financial support before

committing.

GIVING THIS SEASON

Giving Tree

Tis the season to give back to someone or something in need.

Club Prior is in need of a few things for its Memory Café for

the cognitive impaired and their families. Partnering with

the Library we are putting together kits that families and

caregivers can check out that will be packed with resources,

activities and tools for them and their loved ones. We are

asking for particular books, appropriate puzzles, etc. that can

be found on Amazon. If you don’t have access to Amazon,

gift cards can be purchased and we can purchase the items

for you. All items will be put to wonderful use! Donations

can be dropped off at the

Twisted Loop, Library

or Club Prior. More

information can be

found near the tree or

feel free to visit with any

staff in the Library build-

ing.�

**NEW!

The Club Prior

Pantry

A generous grant

was given to Club

Prior to start the

new, upcoming

Club Prior Pantry!

The purpose of the

pantry is to give all those ages 55+ access to free, nutri-

tious snacks and meals without having to visit a “food

pantry”. Club Prior will always accept anonymous dona-

tions and those funds will go back directly to the pantry.

Club Prior is hoping to also have access to fresh fruits and

vegetables as we also have a way to keep them cool. The

pantry is a partnership with R.O.C.K. who will be provid-

ing the food and volunteers to help maintain the pantry by

transporting the food from the warehouse to our site. The

pantry will have certain hours and conditions upon open-

ing. Please watch for more details as you visit Club Prior

in the upcoming weeks!
