It is summertime and there is lots to do. We will continue to have our daily, weekly and monthly activities throughout the summer. Creative Crochet class and our sewing class will be taking the summer off. Classes will resume on Sept. 4.
Memorial Meals have been having some good lunches lately. Stop in or call Connie at 614-9494382 to see how you can get some of these delicious lunches. Join us for a new caregiver support group sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Association. We meet on the first Tuesday of each month here at the Richwood Civic Center at 10 a.m. Alzheimer’s Association support groups, conducted by trained facilitators, are a safe place for individuals caring for a loved one with dementia to develop a support system, exchange practical information on challenges and possible solutions, talk through issues, share feelings, needs and concerns and learn about community resources. Register by calling 800272-3900.

The Richwood Civic center recently returned from its May mystery trip to Freshwater Farms just outside Urbana. The trip saw members learning about fish raising and sustainable farming. Above, members observe one of the many fish hatcheries at Freshwater Farms. According to its website, Freshwater Farms is the largest indoor fish hatchery in the state of Ohio. The next mystery trip is scheduled for Tuesday, June 17 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. (Photo submitted)
