Stop by seniors’ patio sale

ALAMOSA — Alamosa Senior Center volunteers have worked diligently to prepare for the Patio Sale, which takes place on July 27-29 from 7:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. I know it’s Stampede weekend, but you’ll be glad you took time to drop by for a few minutes! Thank you, thank you to those who have donated such incredible items. I’m generally not a huge fan of putting together a sales event. In fact when the board gave the go ahead, my response was, “Then I guess we’re going to have a stinkin garage sale”! Thank goodness they laughed…  One board member said that should be our advertising motto….  “Come to the Alamosa Senior Citizen’s Stinkin Patio Sale”! Well, I must say that there is nothing odorous about the items on our patio tables! There truly is “something there for everyone”!

Wednesday, the 26th at 11 a.m. Nenita Covert, PT will present a Mobility Clinic. Nenita is a physical therapist for SLV Health in La Jara. She will meet with individuals to discuss healthy movements, proper posture, managing pain, and other topics for achieving long-term healthy lifestyles. She will also talk about the important role of balance in our lives. Good balance helps to prevent potentially disabling falls. It builds confidence and fosters independence.

We are taking reservations for an excursion to Creede on August 5th. Folks have the opportunity to visit the Creede Mining Museum and then attend the play, Arsenic and Old Lace, at the Repertory Theater or to just attend the play. For more information you may call the Center at 719-589-3277.
