Lace up your walking shoes and join me Saturday, July 23rd for the SRC Stroll-A-
Palooza! This fun family event will be held at Oakley Courts in Freeport from 9am-1pm. Formerly known as the Stroll- A-thon the purpose is the same, to raise funds to sup- port the important work of the SRC, but this year we will do it block party style with music, food, vendors, and a pet parade!
The generosity of Stephenson and Jo Daviess County residents humbles me and this event is a perfect example of this giving spirit. So many individuals walk laps, collect pledges and rally on behalf of the SRC that it has become a major fundraiser for the organization. This year, the event takes on greater importance because of the State budget impasse. Our Information & Assistance staff are on the front lines of the SRC, linking seniors, fami- ly members and caregivers to resources in our area. The first six months of our fiscal year the Resource Specialists and volunteers disemminated over 36,000 pieces of informa- tion. Many of you reading this article know what I am talking about because you have received Medicare counseling or assistance completing a benefit access application. Because there is no budget and the funding we expected for the Information & Assistance program has not been received, we need to fill the financial gap.
I will be walking laps both on the short trail and the long trail, parading my grand-
dog at 11am and enjoying the sounds of the Mississippi Man while eating my lunch. Join me for fun and a sense of sat-
isfaction knowing you are supporting a worthy cause. The one thing we all have in common is aging and if you
are not a senior now, you will be!
