Summer Celebration at Carolina Cones

It was SCC's pleasure to treat members to ice cream this month. Despite unusual rainy and chilly June weather, everyone had a lot of fun chatting and laughing together. Social gatherings are one way we work to combat lonliness and isolation among older adults. If this is also a mission you care deeply about, please consider volunteering with us by emailing seniorslkn@gmail.com or click HERE! What a SWEET gathering!

Through exploration of ancient and contemporary wisdom writings and meaningful conversations, we nurture and deepen connections with one another. Curious? Join us! It is open and FREE.

Identifying Medications

Here are some quick tips to use if you struggle to read the label on a medication bottle. Try this quick tip to identify the one you want: Put rubber bands on one bottle, add velcro to a second bottle, add a button or felt, using glue, to a third bottle.

Make a reference guide you can refer to easily. This will help ensure you picked up the correct bottle of medication.
