Mtn Peak Life Newsletter – May 1-17

Posted on: May 7th, 2019
 
Announcements
Early Date for May Dinner:  Please mark your calendars now, as we have pushed our May dinner forward a week to Friday, May 17, due to schedule conflicts with the Memorial Day weekend. Enjoy our Hawaiian luau themed menu, dancers, and travel presentation.

CSA Shares:  We are working out the logistics of delivery of our CSA shares from the organic Isabelle Farm in Lafayette and will be in touch soon directly with those who have already signed up. We will have 10 shares for the 16 households registered (yes, some will likely be asked to share their share) and will work out how/when these participants can retrieve them locally. Watch for email from us later this month. Thank you, Boulder County Area Agency on Aging, for providing these to us! 

MPL Luncheon Change of Location June 3 & 5:  Please mark your calendars now regarding our location change for just one week due to roof repairs at the Nederland Community Center. Details in Events calendar below. 

Additional Events on Facebook and Meetup: Our active Mountain Peak Life participants attend many events and pursue many interests. If you’d like to share some with the new friends in our group, please feel free to post events you will attend (with your name, please) at our Facebook group “MountainPeakLife” and alert our office if you would like us to post it at our Meetup site. We also post new events at these sites between newsletters.

Home-Delivered Meals: Our Monday and Wednesday lunch program offers home-delivered hot meals to those age 60+ who are recovering from hospitalizations, ill, injured, or similarly unable to join us at meals longer term. Our current volunteers deliver within a few miles of downtown Nederland; for those further afield, your volunteer efforts or creative solutions to help carry meals are appreciated. Volunteers deliver meals around 1pm.
