Events Worthy of Note

The first Sunday (August 3) is friendship and forgiveness day. Make new ones but don’t forget the old--- even if they disappointed you in the past. Evoke the healing power of forgiveness. Look up some old friends and find opportunities to make some new ones. Since it is also National Watermelon Day, share some tasty red juicy watermelon. This will certainly make you smile. And since this is also National Smile Month, you can celebrate by just smiling a lot.

Here is a wonderful way to celebrate "Family Fun" and "Catfish" month together. Take the family out to the "Catfish Hole" or some place that serve up corn fed catfish for some family fun.

Ten percent of the population is left handed. If you have a southpaw in your family, remind them that this is their month. While they never do anything right, show them some love by buying a left handed mouse. It is said that everyone was born right handed, and only the greatest overcome it.

This is a reminder that August is "Eye Exam" month. Bring in your child for a "well child" visit that includes an eye exam.

Ms. Lawanda Williams, our Medicaid specialist, has been helping many of you reinstate your coverage. She asked me to remind you not to keep reapplying for coverage as this will confuse the system and delay your approval. She can, however, help move the first application forward. Give her a call (706)-938-0990.
