Happy Tuesday

Good Morning to all.  I hope that everyone is ready, cause it is gonna be hot this week.  We have been lucky so far this summer with the mild weather.  Hopefully the heat will not last for long.  Everything has been going pretty good at the clubhouse.  Last week was fairly uneventful.  Dawn and her crew moved the traveling art wall on Wednesday.  It is now at the Southeast Site for us to enjoy.  We attended the NAMI meeting last Thursday evening.  Tina made fluff to share with the others at the meeting.  It was a big hit as always and everyone wanted the recipe.  I will be accompanying some of the members that regularly attend the NAMI meeting to the state NAMI conference in November.  It should be a good time.  We are going to be involved in some fundraising between now and then to help with the cost.  The clubhouse is having their fundraising yard sale on August 2nd from 7-12, I hope to see you all there.  We have been talking about having a pancake and sausage breakfast to raise funds for the NAMI conference.  I will keep you updated as we figure out the details.  Dawn will be taking a couple of members to the Real Voices Real Choices conference at Tan Tar A next month.  Anna and Donna are going to be gone to training for THREE weeks in August.  We will miss them.  They are going to learn about the clubhouse model of psychosocial rehabilitation.  This week we will have the regular coping skills groups and a couple of art classes with Betty.  Coffee with a Doc was cancelled for Friday.  We will be attending next month though.  Next week the clubhouse is going to closed on Tuesday for staff training. If all goes as planned the rest of week will be smooth and we will have a good time here at the clubhouse.  So, until next time I hope all is well and remember that you have a friend.
