Friends,

Golf Outing – June 10th

The planning for the golf outing is coming along nicely.  It doesn’t sound like we’ll need as many volunteers as we originally thought but we will need some.  So, what can you do to help make this a success?  Please help us recruit golfers and hole sponsors.  I’ve attached a couple flyers to help us promote it.  Please pass it along to anyone you feel could benefit from this opportunity as well as help us.  For more information, please see Rick Talbert.

Here’s a message from Rick:

We have our 2nd Annual Teed Off at MS Golf Outing scheduled for Friday, June 10 at Wanaki Golf Course in Brookfield.  Here’s where we could use your help.  We’re in need of golf participants and hole sponsors.  Attached are information flyers for each.  Copies of each can also be found at the gym.  Reach out to your friends and relatives who may want to golf and any businesses you know who may be willing to sponsor a hole.  For your information ePlatinumHealth is the local health insurance agency helping to organize this event.  All proceeds raised at the golf outing will go to MS-Just Keep Moving.

Bike Fitting

It’s time to start getting you fitted for your bike for this spring, summer and fall’s riding.  If you’re going to wear clip in shoes, please bring your shoes to the gym so we can get your bike set up for you.  We will be doing our best to have the same person riding the same bike each week this year.  Hopefully, we’ll be able to get them hooked up and get riding a little more swiftly every Friday morning.  We’ll start taking some practice rides from the gym on nice days.

Be sure to let us know you want to ride so we for sure have a bike for you.  I don’t know about you, but I’m getting ready to ride.

COVID numbers are finally coming down locally.  Yeah!!  We’re going to get through this thing…eventually.  I’m still highly encouraging each of us to be socially responsible and help keep us all safe.  I’m not telling you what to do but I’m asking you and highly encouraging you to wear a mask when you’re in close proximity to someone else; whether you’ve been vaccinated or not.  We want to remain open and we need to do it safely.

Please 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.  Again…let’s be socially responsible and stay safe!

We’ll be getting together again from 9:00am – noon on Wednesday and Friday mornings at the gym.  I hope you’ll join us!

We made our Facebook page private now.  That means you’ll need to join if you want access to all our fun and progress.  Lots of people are doing more and more and sharing their journey on Facebook.  Feel free to join.  We’re up to 189 members now…awesome! https://www.facebook.com/groups/2639832389489709

Ricky will be here Wednesday and Friday again this week.  If you have Ricky work on you this week, please be sure to wear a mask.  We have masks available if you need one.  We don’t want Ricky to pick the virus up from one person and get sick much less take the risk of spreading it to others.  Let’s keep Ricky safe as well as everyone else.

Many continue making great progress with chronic pain relief, range of motion, walking better and a new sense of hope when Ricky works with them.  Please keep in mind that consistency is key.  Not only with Ricky…with exercise too.  We need consistency to realize the benefits long term.  We want you to have long term relief.

Ricky has a sign up sheet based on first come first serve.  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.

Linda will be here on Fridays doing Reiki.  Many people say Linda’s Reiki work is “magical”.  We’re thankful for Linda offering her gifts and talents to us.

Feel free to let Linda know you’d like to do Reiki with her.  She also has a sign up sheet.

MS-Just Keep Sharing.  We’ll be having our sharing group in person this Wednesday @ 11:00am.

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.  Let’s get together to share, listen, talk, give thanks and pray however God leads us.

We’ll be having our inspirational humor zoom call with Adam again next Tuesday.  Adam is a gift to all of us.  Please join us if you can.

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.

MS is tough.  Let’s have faith, remain calm, be flexible, help each other and learn as much as we can about the challenges of each day as we make good choices.

Let’s keep moving and smiling

In God We Trust…we’re in good hands

P.S.  Last week I was able to snap a picture of a couple cranes in the sunset in our back yard.  I had to lay down on the ground to have the sky in the background.

I was also out chasing bald eagles this past weekend by the Mississippi River near Dubuque.  I just thought I would share.

I even met a busy little beaver by the river

And a nice-looking goose.  It’s fun to get out there and capture God’s beauty so I can share with those who can’t.
