Parkinson's Disease Support Group
Now at DHMC
After many years at Bugbee Senior Center, the Upper Valley Parkinson's Disease Support Group has moved to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon. They will meet the third Tuesday of each month at 2:00 p.m. in Auditorium E. For more information, contact Bill Brawley at 603-643-7494 or bbrawley@mac.com.
Cribbage is Catching On!
In recent weeks, we've seen a big surge in the number of cribbage players here at the Bugbee Senior Center. Students from the Wilder School have been coming to take lessons, and, virtually every morning, there are "pick up" games among players who just happen to show up. If you want to learn, drop by and someone will be glad to teach you.
If you already know how to play, come to the "tournaments" on Tuesday afternoons where you can play for $1. Winner takes half the pot; the Center gets the other half.
If there are other games you like to play (such as Scrabble, Uno, etc.), be sure to let Judy know. Perhaps we can find other people who like to play the same games.
If you are a pool player, come check out our pool room. We have two tables and there are usually pool players in the building who enjoy testing their skill.
Don't Forget the Sunscreen!
Sunburn is completely preventable. If you are going to be in the sun for more than 15 minutes, take the following precautions:
Use a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. Apply the sunscreen 30 minutes before exposure. Reapply every 2 hours or as directed.
If you are allergic to PABA, the active ingredient in some sunscreens, ask your pharmacist about non-PABA alternatives.
Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the burning rays are strongest.
Wear a broad-brimmed hat to shade your face.
