Circle of Care events coming up

Several months ago, the board of trustees announced Circle of Care’s intention to establish a care center. This would be a facility where folks in need could be cared for, whether for a day or for months.

Now it’s your turn to give us your thoughts, your perceived needs, wants and desires. Will it be a Circle of Care office with a community gathering space and a respite care room or an entire retirement community or something in between?

Please complete a quick 10-minute survey to let us know your thoughts. Your input is essential. The survey can be found at bit.ly/2UYuCIO.

There will also be paper copies of the survey available at the International Marketplace and the Point Roberts Library as well as during senior lunch. All responses need to be returned by the end of August.

Blackberry Pies

The Circle of Care pie ladies will be making delicious pies for pick-up on Friday, September 3. Nine-inch crumble topped pies are $20 and five-inch mini-pies are $8. Your order must be received by noon, Wednesday, September 1.

Email your name, phone number and the number of pies you wish to order to prcircleofcare@gmail.com. We will confirm your order and pick-up time.
