 Information
about our upcoming "Falls Prevention Classes" was mailed in the November
newsletter and is available online.
Older adults who fall are
THREE TIMES more likely to need nursing homes or long term care. In early 2009, CHUM will
offer a day-long falls prevention class. We’ll offer the class six times.
The class
is free and includes lunch.
Learn how to fall safely.
Learn how to prevent falls. Learn how to increase your flexibility, balance and
strength at home (and get free stuff to help you do that). Receive helpful tips
about medications, physical screening, foot care and more. If you’re over age
50, or know someone who is, you don’t want to miss signing up for one of these
classes. |

Incubator group CCCinco is pleased to announce that they will be sharing
their incubator space with Service for Peace. This organization is about
helping others by pulling a work force together with peace as the ultimate
goal. What better way to work for peace than to serve? Please visit their
web-site for more information:

adds, "GOD is and has blessed us more than we can think or ask for through
CHUM. CHUM, please continue to obey the calling that GOD has given you." We
