The Next Stroke Recovery Burlington Meeting is Wednesday October 23rd at 12 Noon

Our next meeting will be on Wednesday October 23rd.  We will have a very special guest speaker coming. Her name is Maria DiDanieli, she is a Systems Navigator, OP-MH Community Services for the Burlington Family Health/ Ontario Health Team.  Maria will speak about caregiver fatigue and resources available to help you.  Such a very important topic that is rarely  talked about. 

Please reply  Yes  I will  or No I won’t be able to attend the meeting as we will once again be ordering our lunches from Marilu’s. 

A reminder that I will be collecting the yearly fee of $25 from anyone who missed our September meeting.

Don’t hesitate to contact me for any questions or concerns 

Happy Thanksgiving Monday

16 Mile Boat Cruise Itinerary Wednesday September 18th

Hello, this is Debbie, your Cruise Director.

Due to the large number of members going, there will be 3 cruise times, 12:00 Noon, 1:00pm and 2:00pm.  I have attached the listing of what time each member is cruising. Lunch will be served from 12:30pm to 1:30pm.  There will be a choice of chicken souvlaki  and shawarma wraps with a greek salad and baklava for desert.  Bottled water will be available to you.  For those of you who have a time of 12:00pm, please arrive by 11:30pm, you will have lunch after you come back. For those who have a time of 1:00pm please arrive at 12:00pm so you can enjoy some lunch before you cruise.  For those who have 2:00pm please arrive by 1:00pm, so you can enjoy some lunch before you cruise. 

We will be eating at Busby park in the gazebo that is just beside the dock parking lot.  There are a few picnic tables to sit at. Or you may want to bring  your own chairs to sit on.  Please let us know if you need help carrying chairs over to the gazebo.

Reminders:  Sun block -  the reflection of the sun off the water can still give you a nasty burn even this late in the season.  Also a hat to prevent sun stroke. 

The boat dock is located on 128 Water Street in Oakville.  Go east on Randall St to Navy St. Turn left on Navy st. Turn left onto Water St. You will go underneath Randall St bridge.   You will see a Blue CharterAbility sign. I have attached a map 

I can't wait to see all of you next Wednesday the 18th.

Our first Fall Stroke Recovery Burlington Meeting will be on September 25th at 12 Noon

Welcome back to a new & exciting year with Stroke Recovery Burlington.   We are extremely overjoyed to say that 28 new members  have joined our chapter since we have come back to in person meetings in September of 2022.  Throughout the lockdown our chapter stayed active with zoom meetings each month.  I stayed in contact with the Halton/Peel Aphasia program, Wellness House, Hamilton/Burlington Stroke Network and the MOD After Stroke Programs.  A lot of it is just word of mouth from existing members.  We have had inquiries from our website as well as an interest  from our brochures.   MOD was also able to restart the JBH visitation program.   Please keep passing on how great an experience of our chapter can give you. 

As our chapter has so many new members, we have decided at the September meeting we would like to go around to each table and have you  introduce yourself.   Are you a stroke survivor, caregiver, family member ?  How did you hear about our chapter and how long have you been a member ?  If there is enough time, we would love it if you could tell us what you did over the summer holidays.  

I will be collecting the yearly family membership fee of  $25.  This covers all meeting lunches, our Festive Christmas lunch, and all events/outings that our chapter will be offering.  We accept cash or cheque payable to : March of Dimes Canada. In the memo field: SR Burlington Membership Fee.  I hear that  MOD is working on adding  e-transfers as a choice of payment. 

Please let me know Yes I can attend or No I cannot attend  as we are continuing to order individual lunches from Marilu’s Market. 

I’m so excited to see all of you on the 25th. 

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
