FOOD DISTRUBTION

The Satellite Beach United Methodist Church, across from Satellite High School football field on Jackson Ave., is distributing food on Tuesdays at 10:30am. It is their plan to continue to end of the year and distribution lasts until the food is gone. There are no qualifications and you are not asked your name or any personal information. You can pick up for other families in need. All are asked to stay in your car, get in line and follow the signs posted.

SCAMS

There will be more information on this subject in your Nov/Dec newsletter, but I wanted to share with you something that happened to me after the newsletter went to print. I received my 10th “final notice” call to renew my vehicle warranty! This time I stayed on the line and listened. It did prompt me to press a certain number for more information, don’t do that, but it also gave me the option to press another number to be removed from their calling list. It may be worth staying on the line and listening before you delete the phone number or hang up.

WALKING

Surprise! We received a call from a member who very much wants to start walking back up and volunteered to open/close the DRS Gym. Thank Judy Anttilla for stepping up! Walking will begin on Tues. Oct. 20 8:00-9:00am and Wed. Oct. 21 & Thurs. Oct 22 from 8:00 to 9:30am. Note the shorter time period on Tuesday. Current COVID guidelines will be followed. Judy can be reached at 321/777-8764 [email protected]
Pass the word!

FROM OUR MEMBERS

Not long ago an email was sent to the club mailbox from a member, she writes:
“I just wanted to put it out there that if there is someone in our group that is alone with no family here and having a hard time being isolated with the virus situation, I am open to helping”.

Also, another club member asked this question:

“I’m a Club member looking for someone to make a small repair on each of 2 twin size crochet blankets done by my deceased sister. They are clean and in good shape except for the small repairs. I’m willing to pay or donate for the repairs as well as deliver/pickup, socially distant and wearing a mask. I don’t crochet and so want to pass her work along to her grand niece and nephew”.

For information on either of the above, contact me, Louise Stevenson and I will pass it on. My contact information is at the top of this message.
