Hi, folks — as Sande Young’s invitation to help and/or otherwise support the
upcoming pizza party may not have come through clearly, here’s the info again:
The party is in the dining room on Saturday, December 17th with two seatings,
one at 4:00 pm, another at 5:00 pm. Let Sande know if you can help out
(617-527-1726, ssyspts33@xxxxxxx).
Donations are most welcome. Tax deductible checks can be made out to "Hebrew
SeniorLife" with a note on the bottom memo line that it's "for Families and
Friends of 100 Centre St." or just "F&F100." Checks can be dropped off at the
front desk for Laura Baber, or mailed to her at: Center Communities of
Brookline, 100 Centre Street, Brookline, MA 02446.
Along with next week’s calendar at
http://groupspaces.com/FamiliesandFriendsof100Centre/pages/weekly-calendars, ;
Laura has sent along a note about two other events:
On Sunday, Dec 11th at 1:30, Levine Chapel’s Bob Nardone will be here to
discuss an aspect of end of life planning…making advance funeral arrangements.
At 2:30, Ann Kliman, PhD, who has been leading a weekly discussion group, “Mind
Over Matter” will focus on how one looks at end of life preparation (she’s had
57 years as a therapist, working in this area). Family are welcome to
attend…it’s a big group!
Starting Monday, Dec 19th, Beth Meltzer Abelow (Jeanette Meltzer’s daughter…and
a licensed massage therapist) will be at Danesh once per month on the third
Monday to offer 10 minute “chair massages” for residents. The cost is $1/min
($10) and residents can sign up in the Great Room. This could also be a great
thing for family/friends to give as a gift to a loved one. Beth has done two
presentations and demonstrations for residents to see how chair massage works
(and we had our facilities staff get one as a treat…they loved it). She’ll be
coordinating the sign up, calling beforehand with a reminder and collecting the
cash or check at the time of the appointment. This will be held in the first
floor Activity Room.
