September 2020 THE CHARBONNEAU VILLAGER 5
CCC Activities
By KIM HOSFORD
There’s a farmers
market coming to
Charbonneau
If you love to go to local farmers
markets as much as I do, you will be
thrilled to learn we will be having a
market right here in Charbonneau!
Come and visit our new pavilion
space while enjoying some shopping.
We are currently in the planning stages
but this is what we have so far:
Market days will be happening four
Fridays in a row on Sept. 25, Oct. 2, 9
and 16.
The market will be open from 3:30-7:30
p.m. and there will be between 20 and 30
vendors. Please be sure to wear a mask
so everyone can stay safe and healthy.
Red Cross Blood Drive
As you may know, the need for blood
Sunshine Service
By JOAN VEDDER
Volunteers work together
to provide services
during pandemic
I’m still waiting
for the pools to
open here, in
Charbonneau. I
guess not...
It’s not like I had
nothing to do so
the summer passed
VEDDER
quickly. Sunshine
Service didn’t get
too many calls so that is the good news
recently; it seems like most of you remained
healthy enough.
Our theme this month is “teamwork”
and that hits the nail on the head for our
group of volunteers! There is a solid list
of names in your CCC Directory that will
is constant and patients need your help.
Please consider making an appointment
to donate blood. By donating blood
you are actively making a difference in
your community, allowing patients to receive
cancer treatment, surgery and the
gift of life in the case of an accident or a
medical emergency. Your blood donation
provides units of blood products
that are promised to hospitals. Blood donors
report feeling a sense of great satisfaction
after making their blood donation.
Why? Because helping others in
need just feels good.
■ Drive date: Monday, Sept. 21
■ Blood Drive Hours: 1-6 p.m.
■ Location: Charbonneau Clubhouse
Fireplace Room
Red Cross will be doing the COVID-19
antibody testing until October and as a
thank you for making donation a priority,
they are also offering this donor incentive:
Free Sports Clips Haircut “Saving
Lives Never Looked So Good.”
To schedule your appointment or for
more information, please call 1-800-RED-
CROSS or visit www.redcrossblood.org;
Sponsor Code: Charbonneau.
assure you of equipment should you
need to borrow something. I know I’ve
mentioned before, the type of things we
have, but here we go once more: wheelchairs,
two types of walkers, canes, toilet
risers, shower benches, bed rails, knee
scooters (following foot surgery) and a
zillion other little oddities!
Assuming scheduled surgeries will
resume soon again, it’s best that you call
us before the big day so that we can
have all that you might need, in place afterwards.
Your doctor will usually suggest
what type of equipment you might
need.
For those of you who needed items
months and months ago, and would now
like to return them, we are doing so once
again. Just call somebody on the list I
spoke of (above), and we’ll assure you
get signed off our records and we can
sanitize things for the next client! A
small donation is always welcome as a
way of “thanks” for the things you’ve
been able to borrow rather than buy.
Until next month, stay healthy because
happy goes along with it!
