Fall Workshop Series
We are pleased to have partnered with some wonderful organizations and presenters to bring 3 unique presentations to our community this Fall. All of these sessions will take place at the Priddis Community Hall. They are FREE to attend, but require preregistration.
September 24- Advance Health Care Planning Workshop
Does your family know exactly what treatments you would want and not want if you had a serious health emergency? And who would legally make decisions on your behalf if you could not? Do you have an AHS-recommended Green Sleeve readily available on your fridge for EMS? On Wednesday September 24 from 7 to 9:45 pm, a seasoned senior presenter, Murray Hiebert, will lead a workshop to assist you to prepare (or update) your Green Sleeve to include your Alberta-legal Personal Health Care Directive and Goals of Care. To ensure your questions are answered, the workshop is limited to 20. Please email Murray at hiebert@gmail.com for registration or more information.

Jennifer from Brain Health Catalyst will be sharing strategies, giving direction and support to families, caregivers and anyone else facing the journey of memory loss. These sessions will begin at 6pm. Email fcss@foothillscountyab.ca to reserve your spot.

Memberships
This is a friendly reminder that all PCA memberships expire on October 31 each year. Before November 1 you will need to purchase a new membership in order to remain a member in good standing. Why is it important to renew your membership? Not only does it give you access to amenities such as the Rink and Tennis/Pickleball Courts, it also provides a cost savings when purchasing tickets to events such as the Fall Supper and Photos With Santa. Furthermore, those who have been a member in good standing for 2+ consecutive years receive a huge discount on hall rentals. Tip- our membership software allows you to set your membership to “auto renew.” This is a great way to keep your membership up to date without having to worry about or remember if you renewed it.
Stay Connected
In addition to these monthly articles, we also email a newsletter to our members once a month and post community information on our website www.priddisalberta.com. However, following us on social media is the best way to stay up to date with everything that is going on. You can find us on Facebook and Instagram.
