The Transformative Power of Volunteerism for Your Health

By Sharon Elliott

Our Park community is a tapestry of experiences, woven together by the challenges we’ve faced, including profound losses. Many of us have recently said goodbye to parents, partners, spouses, children, close friends, or beloved pets. Unresolved grief can lead to debilitating depression and even dementia. If Alzheimer’s runs in your family, it’s natural to worry about your future.

But here’s the inspiring truth: the onset of Alzheimer’s and dementia can often be delayed. You have the power to change feelings of depression, loneliness, and disconnection through both physical and mental engagement. If large groups make you uneasy or you fear you won’t fit in, rest assured, there are smaller, welcoming groups that seek only your company and participation. These committees are vibrant spaces where ideas flourish, and members share their talents through crafts, games, and skills.

Moreover, dedicated teams work to keep our community beautiful and inviting, alongside groups that host speakers who broaden our understanding of the larger world around us. We firmly believe that life should be enjoyable and meaningful.

Everyone needs physical activity—even mild exercise—because it has a positive impact on our well-being. Don’t wait; join us in creating a fulfilling, healthier future together! The Transformative Power of Volunteerism for Your Health!

John had agreed to partner with someone who did not have a partner. He was partnered with Eula. They were married in 1983 and had 42 years of marriage.

They moved to Timber Valley on February 15, 2008. Eula was part of the Mail Room Committee. She and John enjoyed the potluck dinners here in the park. They had recently moved to Medford, Oregon to be closer to family. She is survived by John and two daughters, Rochelle McEvoy and Michelle Harvey.

Chicken and Dump lings

I love chicken and dumplings. Living and traveling in the south you learn about comfort foods. Biscuits the size of a softball and the weight of a feather. Slathered Continue reading
