Bulletin board: Join the Concord VNA for two August programs

The Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association is offering a free presentation “Easy Does It: Reducing Falls Through Thoughtful Decisions” on Aug. 22 from 10 to 11 a.m. at Concord Recreation Senior Program, 14 Canterbury Road.

Falls can be a life-changing event that limits independence. Falls can happen anytime and anyplace and for most adults falls occur in their homes doing every day activities. Find out how to reduce your risk of falling through thoughtful decision-making and simple exercises to increase strength, balance, coordination, and flexibility.

For more information, call 224-4093 or 800-924-8620, ext. 5815.

The Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association is also offering a bereavement program “Ofrendas: A Heartfelt Work of Art” on Aug. 26 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Concord Regional VNA Hospice House, Community Room, 240 Pleasant St.

Ofrenda means offering in Spanish. Ofrendas are an integral part of Dia de Los Muertos celebrations. We will make ofrendas as our own personal tribute to our loved ones. Bring pictures or mementos you would like to use to decorate or place insider your ofrenda box, as we create a way to honor our loved ones. Bringing photos and mementos is optional. No art experience is needed.

Pre-registration is required and space is limited. For additional information or to register, please call 224-4093, ext. 2828 or email carmella.dow@crvna.org.
