Yesterday, twelve of our members decided to create a list of "Things That Help Us Get Through Difficult Times". We HAD to share the awesome wisdom from this group! Here are their insights:
• Stay Connected with Family and friends!
• Focus on what you can control
• Sleep and rest
• Self-Compassion: Treat yourself gently with respect/kindness.
• Listening to music
• Exercising like going for a walk or going to a gym/spa.
• Playing games or watching movies
• Making goals/To-do lists
• Writing/Journaling
• Hobbies (Cooking, Reading, Fishing, Painting etc.)
• Practice breathing, meditation and stress management
• Remember--anyone can run into hard times
• Remember--It is okay to ask for help.
• Visit Nature (Beach or Park), your Religious center, the Library, a Community Center, or the CLUBHOUSE!

SPREAD THE WORD!

Last week the Galveston County Clubhouse was visited by The Gathering Place Clubhouse from Houston! (https://www.menningerclinic.org/Assets/the-gathering-place-brochure-9-2022-all-pages.pdf). We had a great time sharing about our experiences as two of the ten Clubhouses in Texas. Everyone agreed that one of the most important things about the Clubhouse Model, is that IT WORKS!

Today, we received a major donation from the Seaside Seniors Expo! Judith Johnson, Board Member with SSE awarded a check for $1000 to our Exec. Director, Randall Robinson.

Our Clubhouse is a site for UTMB nursing students' clinical experience. We had a great day today. The nursing students worked with our members to create a "How To" (standard operating procedures) manual. Pictured here is Dr. Bushra Manakatt, UTMB Clinical Instructor, center, with nursing students and Clubhouse Staff.

Our Library is growing, thanks to our supporters. We got started last Fall with a big donation of books from the Friends of Rosenberg Library (pictured is Madeleine Baker from the Rosenberg with Exec. Director Rev. Dr. Randall Robinson). Over the past year we have had donations from several donors. Recently members of the Galveston Lions Club and the Galveston Junior League combined collections of books for Clubhouse, and over 10 boxes of books were delivered today. (Pictured with Randall is Marlaena Funchess, Clubhouse's Certified Peer Support Specialist, and Lion's Club members Dr. Lee Grumbles and Tom Delgado.) Thank you everyone!
