Medical supply shortage: Like the tide, our medical equipment supplies ebb and flow. At present, we are in critical need for wheelchairs and transfer chairs, especially. If you have any medical equipment that is no longer being used, please consider donating it to The Community Center. We try to supply everyone in need with the medical equipment they need. A big thank you in advance if you can help us.

Looking for ideas: We would love to offer some new and different classes this fall. Would anyone like to teach a small exercise or creative class for an hour or so per week? We are open to all suggestions. Pat McKee, I’ve heard, will begin her dance class again in later September or early October. And Jean Larkin would love to teach a beginning art class to anyone who might be interested.

Vegetable deliveries: On Fridays during the summer, the Food Pantry delivers beautiful, very fresh lettuces and veggies by the boxful! Please bring a bag and help yourself! To whet your appetite, check out our Facebook page weekly to see a photo of our latest delivery. (www.facebook.com/boothbaycommunitycenter.)

Transportation needs for the community are increasing! We would love extra help volunteering to drive folks who do not have the ability to get to medical appointments, the grocery store, or personal care appointments. If you have a reliable car, up-to-date insurance, and a few extra hours once in a while, we’d love to have you help The Community Center with this critical need. Please call The Community Center if you would like to help us. 633-9876. Thank you in advance.
