If you missed our November meeting, we honored Shirley Shapiro, who recently passed, with a reading of one of her signature witty stories, which have entertained many of us for decades. Staci Schnell gave us great tips and answered questions about dealing with stress during the pandemic. Many people shared their own experiences and helpful hints. The main takeaways were reach out to others, don’t isolate, and find something you love to do and do it. She also reminded us of a special service here in Broward County; Dial 211 or go to http://211- broward.org/senior-touchline/ to access a variety of sup- port services. You can reach Staci at the Counseling and Wellness Center of South Florida at 954-951-2929.

Because of the success of our pick-up meal events, we’ll have donated $2500 to the temple. Thanks to everyone’s support during the pandemic challenge. We’re working on new programs for 2021 including book reviews, a socially distanced picnic, cooking demonstrations, and much more. AvMed sponsored another event in our parking lot in November and had a great turn out for gifts, snacks, music, and a chance to learn more about their health plan. AvMed also sponsors many free events you can participate in. For Dancing with TJ, book reviews, and more go to https://www. avmed.org/about-us/calendar. Everyone welcome.
