At the Golden Circle we rely on volunteers to help support a variety of aspects of our operations from assisting in the Kitchen and Dining Room, to supporting special events and fundraisers, providing supportive transportation to medical rides, delivering groceries and frozen meals from our own kitchen, and doing friendly visits over the phone. We cherish our volunteers and could not do this important work without them!

The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen, 83¼ Years Old by Hendrik Groen. Technically speaking, Hendrik Groen is…. elderly. But at age 83 1/4, this feisty, indomitable curmudgeon has no plans to go out quietly. Bored of weak tea and potted geraniums, exasperated by the indignities of aging, Hendrik has decided to rebel – on his own terms. He begins writing an exposé: secretly recording the antics of day-to-day life in his retirement home, where he refuses to take himself, or his fellow “inmates,” too seriously.

Seasonal allergies can bring sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, and fatigue when pollen levels rise in the spring and summer. While medications can help, many people also look for natural ways to ease symptoms. Rinsing the nasal passages with a saline solution can help clear pollen and irritants. Local honey, herbal teas, and foods rich in vitamin C may support the immune system. Quercetin, a plant compound found in apples and onions, may also help reduce allergic reactions. Keeping windows closed on high-pollen days and showering after spending time outdoors can further reduce exposure and help manage seasonal allergy discomfort naturally.
