FOOD BANK DAY is on Mon-

day, June 29. Food bank will

begin at noon.

The location will be at Meadow

Park Gym at 41220 Park Avenue

in Big Bear Lake. This will be a

drive through so no one getting their food will get

out the car.

If you know of anyone who is ill, sched-

uled for surgery, or just needs some cheer,

please call June at (909) 253-4657.

Sympathy cards were sent to the family of

Jim McCulchean and Fred Jones. A get

well card was sent to Betty Graham who is

recovering at home.

Balance exercises help pre-

vent falls, a common problem in older adults that can have serious consequences. Many lower-body strength exercises also will improve your bal-ance. Exercises to improve your balance include Tai Chi,

a “moving meditation” that involves shifting the body slowly, gently, and precisely, while breathing deeply.

Examples of balance exercises Try standing on one foot, then the other. If at first you need support, hold on to something sturdy. Work your way up to doing this movement without support. Get up from a chair without using your hands or have a sturdy chair or a person nearby to hold on to if you feel unsteady. Try the heel-to-toe walk. As you walk, put the heel of one foot just in front of the toes of your other foot. Your heel and toes should touch or almost touch. Talk with your doctor if you are unsure about any particular exer-cise.

Everyone living in the United

States and its five territories is

required by law to be counted in

the 2020 Census.

Under the adjusted 2020 Census operational plan,

field activities would resume after June 1, 2020, as

Area Census Offices begin returning to full staff ca-

pacity. In-person activities, including enumeration,

office work, and processing activities, will incorpo-

rate the most current guidance from authorities to en-

sure the health and safety of staff and the public.

Getting a complete and accurate census count is criti-

cally important since it can affect funding grants to

Big Bear Valley.

You can complete online a short 10 minutes at

https://my2020census.gov/

It's safe, secure, and confidential. Your information

and privacy are protected.

If someone visits your home later this year to collect

information for the 2020 Census, check to make sure

they have a valid ID badge with their photograph, a

U.S. Department of Commerce watermark, and an

expiration date. Census workers may also carry Cen-

sus Bureau bags and other equipment with the Cen-

sus Bureau logo.

U.S. Census forms are not mailed to PO Boxes.

Fred Jones passed away

peacefully at his home sur-

rounded by his beloved wife,

Peggy and dog, Maggie on

April 21. Fred served on our

SCOBBV board for more than

10 years and was our club’s newsletter editor for the

past few years. He always had a desire to enhance the

lives for our seniors with his ideas for recreational and

socializing activities. He will be surely missed. Fred and

Peg were married for 64 years as a result of a blind date.
