- Tai Chi is taking a vacation break this month – we’ll see you in October – but remember to take deep breaths and take in the positive energy from the earth!

Not specifically Senior Watch related, but here are some other tidbits:
- The local guys from the Front Porch Pandemic Jazz Band is playing at a benefit to support the Alzheimer’s San Diego group, on Wednesday, September 23, from 5:00-7:00pm at the Bayshire Torrey Pines, outside at the Heritage Courtyard),13101 Hartfield Ave., San Diego (Del Mar Heights). Cost is $50 per person and includes dinner, beverages, live jazz and an art auction. Please make your reservations by calling the concierge at 858-259-2222. This is the 3rd year the group is performing to benefit Alzheimer’s SD.
- I’ve attached an article from the SDUT about continuing care at home, which I found informative.
That’s it for now. I hope to have another event in October, as well as continuing our Game Night and Tai Chi.
