CAREGIVER'S SUPPORT GROUP
Many Ford’s Colony residents are caregivers for loved ones in their homes and in their community. This role, while necessary and admirable, can be isolating and exhausting physically and emotionally. Coming together with others who share your experience, while not minimizing your responsibilities, may provide you respite. 

 

GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP
Have you recently lost a loved one or lifelong partner? Are you struggling to determine what your “new normal” will be and how to move forward? You are not alone. Come together with other members of the Ford’s Colony community who are also experiencing a sense of loss.  

 

Both groups will be facilitated by Marie Phillips, a licensed professional counselor. Meetings will be held on Wednesdays in the S&T Club for eleven weeks beginning October 7. The Grief Support Group will meet at 10 to 11 a.m. and the Caregiver Support Group will meet at 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Space is limited to 10-12 participants for each group, so please contact Marie Phillips at 609-206-2343 or mariephillips88@gmail.com to reserve your spot.

 

FORD'S COLONY MIXED BOWLING LEAGUE
Come bowl with us! All skill levels are welcome, and the full handicap format helps level the playing field for everyone. League play is held on Monday or Tuesday afternoons, and the season runs from the last week in October through the last week of March. If you’re interested in signing up, or just want more information, contact Roy at fcmondaybowling@gmail.com for the Monday league, Sharon at fctuesdaybowling@gmail.com for the Tuesday league, or Jennifer at jkm0306@gmail.com for general inquiries.

 

There is also an organization meeting on Tuesday, October 6 at 12:30 p.m. at the S&T Club. Following the meeting will be 2-hours of free bowling at Bowlero on Olde Towne Road. Sign up deadline is October 1.
