I was glad to see our group together today as we gathered for our first meeting of the new year. Our group was smaller than usual but was a feisty one. Our presenter was Jennifer Hartig from RCC. You might ask what is RCC? Well the initials stand for Respite Care Charleston. This wonderful group of citizens who spend time with Charlestonians who are in the grasp of dementia. This is a terrible affliction not only for the patient but also their families. This caring group provides a social few hours for the memory loss persons during the week so that the caregivers can have a respite from the daily emotional and physical drain of caring of their loved ones. It is wonderful to know that there is this group of volunteers offering relief. More information can be had from their site:

Our luncheon was wonderful. The soups were so warming not only the body but the soul too. The food was filling and delicious. But more importantly we all enjoyed seeing one another again and the fellowship of the day.
BTW: Someone got a new car. It is scarlet . I wonder why that color??
Our next meeting will be our catered luncheon to celebrate Valentine's Day. There will be entertainment from the SOA students. Please won't you join us and bring a friend?
