The wellness center is well on its way to adding options for improving our health. We were fortunate enough to have a Bowflex machine donated to the clubhouse from the Central site. Thank you, Debbie Mackie!!!!!! We are also working on applying for a grant to get additional equipment that will benefit members.

The Mental Health Awareness Walk committee met for the first time yesterday. The walk will be May 10, 2014 at Engler Park in Farmington. The committee is ironing out the details and securing sponsors. We are optimistic that we will reach our goal of $3000. The money that is raised will be donated to the local NAMI affiliate. NAMI’s goal is to raise awareness and reduce the stigma related to mental illness. If anyone would like to assist with the walk you can contact Dawn Mathes at the clubhouse (431-9620). Donations can also be mailed directly to the clubhouse (206 Crane St., Park Hills, MO 63601). We hope to see you all there.

The clubhouse has been buzzing with talk of the art show as well. It will be here before we know it. The annual Friends in Action art show will once again be held at The Factory, ‘A’ St., in Farmington on April 12, 2014. This week we have begun working on matting and framing members’ art work. The members have been working on new artwork to enter in the show. The money raised from the art show will be added to our Project Clubhouse fund. Donations can also be mailed directly to the clubhouse.

Friends in Action is in need of a new digital camera. Unfortunately, ours mysteriously vanished a while back. We were hoping that it would mysteriously reappear, but there was no such luck. So, if any Friends of the Clubhouse out there have a digital camera that you no longer need, please contact me at the clubhouse.

Thank you all in advance for your support. Until next time, I hope all is well and remember that YOU have a friend!
