Great to see so many residents attend the Home and Health Showcase in March. We appreciate the staff from our newest community partners being there.  Del Oro Caregiving Resources and Seniors First, representing Placer Rides and Meals on Wheels, were at our table. They shared how the Foundation is financially supporting their services to help support residents through their programs.  Thank you all.
The Annual Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast was held March 28 to thank residents who donated their time as Foundation volunteers. This includes Maintenance Teams, who literally keep lights on and help us stay safe by maintaining our smoke alarms; the Phone Volunteers who return calls for the Foundation phone line (A Volunteer is currently needed); other volunteers that support Foundation events or activities; and Foundation Board members who are committed to working on behalf of residents.  We thank everyone for the donation of sharing their time to volunteer with the Foundation.   
This is Part 2 of the March article.  The Foundation has now financially partnered with Placer Rides, a transportation program, managed by Seniors First.  Each rider is approved up to 200 miles per month; there are no limits to where people can be driven.  Medical in Sacramento, UC Davis, Costco, no problem.   Riders choose their own licensed and insured drivers who will be reimbursed for mileage. The Application can be obtained online; the Foundation will have printed copies in our box in the hall of the Lodge.   Services are approved quickly once riders choose drivers, and the Application is processed.  Contact PlacerRides@SeniorsFirst.org  (916) 889-9500. 
Have you wondered what the SCR Foundation does?  Are you aware we are an independent, 501c3 non-profit?   Do you know how to access our website for ongoing information? We will have some openings this year and will be recruiting volunteers. We invite you to join us at our table on April 30 from two until four PM for the Volunteer Mix and Mingle event in the Ballroom. Look for us in our blue vests.  Hope to see you there.
