June Meeting notes

We had several excellent speakers Tuesday.

Richard Havey, Dance Instructor discussed free dance lessons and led a 20 minute exercise demonstration of gigong – he teaches a free 45 minute class at the Munson Center Wednesdays at 1:30. He also talked about starting a new group–Drumming for Parkinson’s.

Marlene Schauer, trainer for our Rock Steady Boxing group, discussed her background (she’s a physical trainer, body builder and has a Black belt in Karate!) and what is happening at the Dona Ana Boxing Club. We’re all invited to observe a lesson – lessons are Monday and Friday at 11am, open practice on Wednesday.

Audrey Valdez, Julie Stanton and Haili Emereson from Ambercare spoke to us about Hospice. That it is covered by Medicare part A. They also spoke about New Mexico Medical Orders for Scope of Treatment (MOST). The NM MOST form is a legal document that goes into effect only if you become incapacitated and are unable to speak for yourself. It helps others know what type of medical care you want.
