  Guest Speaker Series<\/u><\/em><\/h3>\n

On September 18th<\/sup> our guest speaker was Emily Wilcox, Business Development Officer for the Senior Resource Association (SRA).  The SRA now handles all public transportation in Indian River County – both the Community Coach<\/em><\/strong> and GoLine.<\/em><\/strong> There is door to door transportation anywhere in the county.<\/p>\n

The SRA operates two adult daycare facilities which are open Monday-Friday and are staffed with certified RNs, LPNs, and CNAs.  Seniors receive a nutritional meal at lunch, play mentally stimulating games, participate in arts, music, and physical fitness to stay engaged, and socialize with others.  There also have recreational outings to the public library and to the Vero Beach Museum for Art.  A caregiver support group is also offered.  In home services include housekeeping, shopping, meal planning, etc.  The SRA also has a public guardianship program for incapacitated clients who have no family or friends.  This program is funded through the Department of Elder Affairs and donations. <\/p>\n

The Silver Tones is an auditioning senior choir that receives donations for their performances.<\/p>\n

Meals on Wheels delivers to households and Emergency Meals on Wheels delivers to those just out of the hospital.  Volunteers are trained to observe and monitor clients and how to respond when needed.  There is also a Pet Meals on Wheels in partnership with the Humane Society<\/em><\/strong> and For the Love of Paws.<\/em><\/strong>  Pets owned by shut-in clients are taken for annual check-ups, grooming, inoculations, etc.<\/p>\n

River Cruise<\/h3>\n

On September 25th<\/sup> we enjoyed a boat outing aboard the River King.  Captain Jim and 1st<\/sup> Mate Scott treated us to a cruise on the Indian River to the Sebastian Inlet.  The River King goes out 2-3 times a day and in October will start to Pelican Island the first United States Wildlife Sanctuary. <\/p>\n

There was lots of wildlife to observe, a tasty box lunch served by our waitress Lisa and lots of camaraderie and socialization with members and guests.  Thank you Mike Natale for arranging this day on our beautiful Indian River!\"Exchange<\/a><\/p>\n
