Friends,
Just a friendly reminder, the story about Dr Becky Thomas and the PTS students news story will be airing on the 10:00pm news on Wednesday, 10-27-2021…Channel 58. That’s tomorrow night. Set your recorders if you want to save it.
Dr Becky Thomas and the volunteers from Bryant Stratton College will be here this Wednesday. After that, they’ll be back in school. This will be their last week here for a while. Let’s be sure to thank them for joing us again this semester. We’re fortunate to have Dr Becky Thomas and the students with us. Thank you Becky and students!
As you know, Shelley has created a new Facebook page to help us all stay connected. We’re up to 61 members already. That’s 21 more than last week.😊 Have you joined yet? There are some fun pictures out there. I’m not a Facebook person so contact Shelley if you have any questions. Here’s Shelley’s message about our new Facebook Page.
We have a new Facebook page! Follow this link to check it out https://www.facebook.com/groups/2639832389489709 or you can search MS Just Keep Moving on Facebook. All are welcome to post and comment.

Last week Rick Talbert put on a presentation about Medicare and Social Security updates. If you missed it and have any questions, feel free to ask Rick. He’s always willing to answer any questions and help any way he can. Here’s a link to Rick’s educational website specifically for people with MS.https://www.mshealthinsuranceresource.com/
The plans for our open house on Saturday, November 13th from 2:00 – 5:00pm are coming along nicely. I hope you can and will join us! I’m hoping it will be like a nice family reunion for people who haven’t been back for a while.
We will be sharing the stories of some of our friends with MS, the progress they’ve made and what this place means to them. This should be a very inspirational event and we’d like you to be there. We’d also like you to invite anyone else that would be interested in seeing what we’re doing. More information to come…stay tuned! Our fundraising team has been absolutely amazing so far. We have way more ideas than we can execute right now. Let’s get off to a good start by helping to make the open house a fun event. I’ve attached an invitation for you to join us and share with anyone you’d like to invite.
We’ll be getting together again from 9:00am – noon on Wednesday and Friday mornings at the gym.

We realize the virus is not gone yet. In fact, the numbers are very concerning again. Many of us have either had COVID or have been vaccinated or both. With the numbers going up, we have more people wearing masks again. Thank you for doing that!
At this time, we’re leaving wearing a mask up to you to make good decisions. If you have concerns, please wear a mask. Either way, please be respectful. Thank you for being so understanding, cooperative and respectful through this entire pandemic. I wish we didn’t have to worry about it but it’s reality at this time.
One of the most important things you can do is to stay home if you have any symptoms or know you’ve been exposed to someone with the virus. Please don’t come until your symptoms go away. Let’s also give each other some space when talking to one another and continue wiping the machines down before and after you use them with disinfectant. Let’s stay safe!
Unfortunately, we will not be riding bike this Friday. This week’s forecast is calling for 45 degrees and rain Friday morning. Let’s keep hoping for another warm Friday morning before winter sets in.
Ricky Heldt will be here on Wednesday and Friday again this week doing Tai Massage. Many of you have reported making great progress with chronic pain relief, range of motion, walking better and a new sense of hope when Ricky does his magic to you. Please keep in mind that consistency is key. We need consistency to realize the benefits long term. That’s why we’re having Ricky here both Wednesday and Friday mornings. We want you to have long term relief. Ricky will have a sign up sheet based on first come first served. You can pick the time slot that works for you. I highly encourage you to take advantage of Ricky’s Tai Massages each day and sign up for your time slot as soon as you get there.
We will be having our prayer group in person again this Wednesday. I just love the way we share, pray together and witness prayers being answered weekly. Thanks goes to God and to everyone that joins us.
We’ll get together and share, talk, listen, give thanks and pray however God leads us.

I encourage you to share a smile with someone. Perhaps you could call someone that you haven’t talked with for a while just to say hi and see how they’re doing. We all could use a little extra love and encouragement during these times.
MS is tough. Let’s stay calm, focused, healthy, flexible, have faith and learn as much as we can about the challenges of each day as we make good choices. Better days are ahead.
In God We Trust!
Dan
