Circle of Care planning ahead

A Circle of Care committee has been busy composing a survey to assess the needs and wants of Point Roberts residents regarding a care facility. Your input is needed. The link to the survey will be in next week’s ePB as well as on all the social media bulletin boards and the Circle of Care website. The board of trustees is hoping to hear from everyone in Point Roberts as, regardless of your age or health status, sooner or later these questions are likely to relate to your circumstances.

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Fundraiser – It’s strawberry and rhubarb season and “the pie ladies” are making delicious pies for you and your family to enjoy for the Fourth of July. These will be one-crust pies with plenty of berries and rhubarb topped with an oatmeal crumble. Nine-inch deep dish pies are $20 and 5-inch mini-pies are $8. Place your orders at prcircleofcare@gmail.com by 5 p.m. on June 30 and collect your pie, ready for baking or for freezing, on Saturday, July 3 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the community center.

Advanced Directives Workshops – Have you and your family completed an advance care directive and a durable power of attorney for each member? These are important documents to have on file in order to inform your family, physician and caregivers of your wishes in case you are ill, seriously injured or suffering with memory issues. Circle of Care is offering two-hour workshops via Zoom (and, hopefully, in person by end of July) to assist you in completing your forms and getting them filed. The next dates and times are Thursday, July 8 from 10 a.m. to noon and on Tuesday, July 27 from 4 to 6 p.m. If you would like to enroll in one of these please send an email to prcircleofcare@gmail.com.

Look for the Circle of Care bus and board of trustees in the Fourth of July parade. If you would like to help us decorate the bus or walk the parade route with us, passing out candy, please let us know.
