🌱 This Friday at CoDesign Commons- Caregiving: Preparing to care and be cared for 🌱

Community members are warmly invited to join our Food for Thought Brown Bag Lunch Speaker Series this Friday, February 6, from 12:00–1:30 PM as we kick off February’s theme: Crucial Conversations in Later Life.

We’re excited to welcome Amy Guerrattaz as our featured speaker. Amy is the Dementia Outreach Specialist for Monroe and Owen Counties and the Activities & Programming Manager at The Endwright Centers, senior community centers through Area 10 Agency on Aging. This year marks her fifth year with Area 10, where she has also served as a Care Manager, Information & Referral Specialist, and Options Counselor. Prior to that, Amy worked as a Social Service Director at Meadow Lakes Senior Living and Aspen Trace Senior Living.

Amy is deeply passionate about increasing awareness and understanding of dementia and helping people enhance all aspects of their wellbeing. When she’s not working, she enjoys cooking, camping, kayaking, hiking, crocheting—and most of all, spending time with family and friends.

Thanks to our friends Community Kitchen, Area 10 staff and volunteers, many local home-bound seniors received a delicious, hot, homemade Thanksgiving dinner! We've had this partnership for many years and look forward to doing the same on Christmas. Two great, local organizations blending shared missions in action for our community. Happy Thanksgiving!

WOW, what a gorgeous day for Area 10's Fall Stuff-a-Bus, which we need so badly! When planning this event, there wasn't an IU ball game scheduled. Aside from some student volunteers bailing, we had AMAZING turnout from IU and Community Volunteers, local business partners, and Kroger shoppers across Bloomington. We'll add more pictures later as well as the official count, when we have time to pull that together Monday, but we wanted to share some of the positive vibes, smiles, hugs, and collective spirit of giving to warm your hearts. This community never ceases to amaze me. Thank you ALL for SHOWING UP for our homebound seniors in Monroe and Owen Counties!
