 Hiking up Saddle Rock trail head. This was a tough goal that took a few tries to accomplish, but I made it!
The Second Chance Thrift Shop has taken over nearly half of the Foothills Community Center. The planned building expansion project will solve this issue by adding a 6,250 sq. ft. addition to the back of the building.
 Summer is in full swing, which means it’s almost time for one of our favorite traditions — our annual Summer’s End Barbecue! We hope you’ll join us for an evening filled with great food, wonderful entertainment, and plenty of fun.
 Packing cubes, like this set from REI, help to keep clothes organized by small, medium and large items. by Lydia Agidius, Program Director --
With several exciting trips coming up this summer and fall I, thought I’d share a few of my favorite packing tips for anyone planning to travel in the coming months — whether you're joining us on a Foothills adventure or heading out on your own. If you're anything like me, packing starts with good intentions and quickly turns into, "Well, I might need this..." before somehow half my closet ends up in a suitcase. Over the years, I've learned a few tricks that help me stay organized, avoid overpacking, and make traveling a little less stressful.  Ankur N. Patel, M.D., M.S., speaking with Russ from Camas, WA via teleconference. Watch for a future interview on our blog, The Buzz. by Russ Alman, Communications Director --
My column this month is a bit personal to me, but I wanted to share this story so that perhaps I can help other seniors — and younger people too — address an important health issue that often goes undiagnosed or ignored. I have sleep apnea. And it’s actually pretty severe. Back in 2014, I was diagnosed at the Confluence Health Sleep Studies Center. Doing an in-clinic sleep study involves an overnight stay in a private suite, hooked up to a bunch of wires and monitors so that technicians can record how many obstructive apnea events occur per hour.

The Chelan Public Utility District (CPUD) has launched a new bill assistance program, providing a 25% discount for ALL income-qualified households in Chelan County.  Our new “Transportation Cam” allows members to monitor the front entrance from the comfort of the Social Hall, relieving congestion in the lobby. Happy 4th of July! How wonderful it is to celebrate our nation’s independence. Beyond the family picnics and fireworks, our freedom is something to truly cherish and protect. This year, I am especially grateful to spend the day with my family and treasure every moment. I have also been blessed with three new grandchildren: a recently adopted grandson, a premature but thriving baby boy who is coming home from the hospital as I write this, and a precious little granddaughter who will be making her debut any day now. I have so much to celebrate, and I hope you do as well. Take time to enjoy your family, friends, and neighbors, and make the most of this special day.
