It's Monday at Wellness House. The first Monday of the month of November. First Mondays are a bit quieter then others because there are not any groups scheduled for first Mondays. Not sure exactly why, but it just seems to work out that way.
In the office today were Nan, the Executive Director, and Margaret, the Development Director. Lin, the Client Advocate, was feeling a bit under the weather today so she did not come in. Our dependable Monday volunteers were here though, to answer the phones and greet clients and guests. Mary C. was here in the morning and Donna U. in the afternoon. Our daytime volunteers serve as the receptionists for Wellness House and are critical to the staff. Office volunteers enable Lin to meet uninterrupted with a client or help someone find a wig; they set up for groups so that Ceit can put returned books back in the library; they help Margaret stuffing envelopes for mailings and writing thank you notes; and they help Nan any way they can (because she really NEEDS a lot of help).
If you would be interested in becoming an office volunteer, just email Ceit at ceitllyn@wellness-house.org. She would be happy to get a volunteer application out to you and share with you other opportunities to get involved at Wellness House.
In addition to the regularly scheduled support groups this week (see list to the right), there will be a meeting Tuesday for some of the main folks involved with the 2008 Lunch Among Friends. Nancy Martin has stepped in to co-chair the event. Nancy has been involved with the luncheon numerous times over its 7 year history and will serve as a great lead for the volunteer committee. The 2008 Lunch Among Friends will be held Friday March 7th at the Yakima Convention Center. With 2008 the 20th Anniversary of Wellness House, the theme for Lunch Among Friends will be "Happy Birthday Wellness House!" It is going to be a lot of fun. As things progress you will be able to read all about it here and on our website - http://www.wellness-house.org/.
So, the great idea about this BLOG is the opportunity for Wellness House to receive questions and comments from you. Is there something you would really like to know about Wellness House? Do you need more information about a group at Wellness House? Are you looking to connect with someone who is surviving cancer or has information about the latest cancer issues? Just ask and we will respond.
Have a good week!
