YUCCA VALLEY - Are you a caregiver caring for a loved one at home? Do you need help coping or need advice on how to make life a little easier? Reach Out Morongo Basin is will be holding Caregiver Peer Support groups at the Yucca Valley Senior Center 57088 29 Palms Hwy beginning Monday July 8, 2019 at 9:30 am. 
 
Caregiving can be a tough and isolating experience but caregiver support groups are filled with people in similar situations that get what you’re going through. These informal groups are a great place to ask for advice, find out about useful resources, and just vent about your frustrations. Nobody will judge you because everyone is going through the same struggles.
 
There is no instruction manual for being a caregiver and being forced to learn everything by trial and error is hard. Our caregiver support group will give you an informal place to learn techniques from someone else’s experience.
 
If you are interested in participating in please call Reach Out Morongo Basin at 760-361-1410 or 760-369-8671.
 
 
Peace and Blessings,

Old Schoolhouse lecture on Friday, June 14

6/3/2019

0 Comments

 
The Desert Institute and the Twentynine Palms Historical Society offer the Old Schoolhouse lecture on Friday, June 14 with acclaimed photographer, Richard Arnold.  
 
Joshua Tree National Park is vast, with over 1,235 square miles. That makes it perfect for exploring. Photographer and journalist Richard Arnold will focus on the Park as he looks at many areas "off the beaten track". This comes at the end of a season which has brought spectacular weather conditions, with monsoon rains, followed by some of the heaviest snowfall in years, and a "superbloom" of wildflowers. While the Joshua Tree bloom was not as widely known as the wildflower sites in Anza Borrego, Lake Elsinore and Carrizo Plain, it has been in some ways even more remarkable.

Richard Arnold is an internationally known broadcaster whose regular assignments as Australia's longest-serving foreign correspondent have taken him on journalistic jobs from the White House to the Academy Awards and to many other places. Still in his own time, Richard calls our desert "home". He fell in love with the desert before he ever saw it. Growing up in Australia he collected pictures of American desert scenes. Now, for more than 30 years, he has explored the local deserts and mountains and will present a unique collection of his own stunning photographs.

Sponsored by the Desert Institute at Joshua Tree National Park and the Twentynine Palms Historical Society, this lecture is held at the Old Schoolhouse Museum, 6760 National Park Drive, Twentynine Palms, on Friday, June 14 at 7 pm. This lecture is open to the public and costs $5 per person at the door. Optional dinner with speaker at 5 pm at the 29 Palms Inn, room is limited and attendees are responsible for their own meal. If interested in dinner please RSVP at 760-367-5539 before Wednesday, June 12.
