🤩 Thriving Thursday 🤩

Introducing the Fall Memory Café Series!🍎
The ADRC of Waupaca County, Park Vista Retirement Living, and the Fox Valley Memory Project are proud to partner in offering a local Memory Café series—an opportunity for individuals living with memory loss and their care partners to connect, share, and engage in a safe and welcoming environment. These free, monthly gatherings are held the second Monday of each month starting at 1:00pm and feature fun activities and meaningful social connection. We invite you to join us in building a dementia-friendly community together.

🌿 Well-being Wednesday 🌿

Whether your kids are walking to the park, sports practices, or a friend’s house, one pedestrian safety tip that's easy to remember is "Heads Up, Phones Down." 🚶‍♂️📵 Remind kids, and especially teens, to put devices away when crossing the street. Staying alert can save a life.

We’re excited to share that Be Well Waupaca County is now officially recognized as a nonprofit organization! This has been a meaningful journey, and we’re incredibly grateful for the support we’ve received from our members and the broader community.

Becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit opens new doors for our coalition. It gives us access to more resources, allows us to grow our programs, and helps us build stronger partnerships.

We’re looking forward to what comes next, and we’re always open to new ideas, partners, and members who want to help shape a more connected and thriving Waupaca County.

If you’d like to stay in the loop or get involved, you can sign up for our mailing list http://eepurl.com/iT10Bs or attend our next meeting on June 20, from 8:15-9:30am at the Waupaca Library (lower level meeting room).

Many of us are under another Alert. While air quality is expected to improve, our Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources partners say smoke will continue to impact southern and eastern Wisconsin, making the level red – unhealthy for everyone. Avoid strenuous activity outside. People with asthma, older adults, and kids should take extra care: dhs.wisconsin.gov/climate/air.htm
