But it still needs approval by the Senate. Contact your Member of Congress to express your support today. https://www.mealsonwheelsamerica.org//ad/covid-19-response

We will need to cancel all first dose appointments scheduled on Thursday, February 18, 2021, and Friday February 19, 2021 We are hoping the vaccine supply will arrive in the next few days, so we can resume vaccination clinics on Monday, February 22, 2021. If you had an appointment for a first dose, you should receive a call this afternoon or in the morning. We will place you on the list to reschedule for next week. Do not come to the site this Thursday or Friday if you were scheduled for your first dose, because we will not have a vaccine for you. Second vaccine doses will continue this week. Four weeks ago, if you had your first dose, you should receive your second dose this week. The location and the day has changed.

A message from Linda Burton, one of our very talented Tai Chi instructors. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! After not taking any time off for vacations since the Shelter in place orders came out in March 2020, we have decided to take Thanksgiving week off for a well needed staycation. I will not be holding any Tai Chi classes Tuesday, November 24th, Thursday, November 26th, or Saturday, November 28th. Tai Chi classes will resume on Tuesday, December 1st at 9 am. Beginners classe...s will be at 11 am on Tuesdays and 9 am on Thursdays and Saturdays. Advanced classes will be at 9 am on Tuesdays and 11 am on Thursdays and Saturdays. Of course everyone is welcome at both classes. Also, with the continued increase in Covid cases it is more important than ever to boost our immune systems. Tai Chi can help with that. I want to encourage everyone to attend as many classes as possible in December. Attend all six classes I teach each week if you like. Don't worry about the donations in December. Consider it my Christmas gift to each of you. If you would like to attend classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays give Paul Samberg a call at 707-995-0823 for information on his classes.

Hello Lake County Seniors! Here's your September update... We are currently delivering 2500+ frozen meals per week. From the Clearlake Rivieras to Kelseyville, Lakeport, Blue Lakes, Upper Lake, Lucerne to Paradise Cove; we are preparing, freezing and delivering meals at an unprecedented rate.... Peoples Services, Lake Family Resource Center employees, North Coast Opportunities employees, friends, friends of friends and family have all stepped up to bring meals to our Senior community and we can never thank them enough. A very special thank you to our friends at ParaTransit and LakeTransit. They have been providing 9-12 buses with drivers on a weekly basis for some time now. Their regular bus schedule is beginning to pick up and availability of buses and driver's will soon become an issue. Also, it's been a real struggle to continue find available volunteers to ride the buses and deliver the meals. Due to covid restrictions, volunteers need to be under 60. The necessary early morning hours prevent many "Under 60" working community members from volunteering. To this end, we are transitioning to a "Drive-up" meal distribution for those clients who are not truly homebound. We sincerely thank those who have called to make arrangements to pick up, or have their meals picked up. Our Meals Coordinator has been working overtime to streamline the drive-up experience. Drive up hours are Monday through Wednesday, 10:30am to 1:30pm. Please contact Marcella for a convenient pick up time. Then, simply pull up to the glass doors and a volunteer will come out to assist you. Masks and gloves will be worn for your protection. Please wear a mask for our protection if you exit your vehicle. It will take some time to get the process running smoothly, and your patience is greatly appreciated. We are grateful to have Ability Road on board to seal our meals at the center. A huge shout out goes to the dedicated staff at the Lucerne Senior Center for all they do. Thank you for your support during these trying times. The Lakeport Senior Center remains closed for now. Only essential workers and volunteers are allowed in as an effort to keep the homebound clients we serve as safe as possible. My staff and I look forward to the day when we can welcome everyone back. We are entertaining all sorts of ideas for a grand reopening. Stay safe! Comments and suggestions are always welcome. 263-4218 Denise
