RSVP for our Christmas Party - New date for Surrey December 11

Greetings!

Bath Safety never looked so good! Our e-newsletter contains the handouts from the Bath Safety Circuit Training inservices held in November. Thanks to everyone who attended.

How many different shower commode chair models does SelfCare rent? We had multiple correct responses at over 16 and have drawn a winner from that pool. The Starbucks card will be making its way to Laura Hanayli. Congratulations Laura!!

It isn't a party if you're not there. We moved the Surrey party to Tuesday, December 11 at the SelfCare Surrey location. Hope you can join us to celebrate the Christmas season and so we can thank you for working with us throughout the past year. (Vancouver is Dec 18, North Shore is Dec 20.) Get into the Christmas spirit and join us for a hot lunch.

We look forward to providing you with useful information. Please contact us at any time if you have any comments, questions or topics you want covered by an inservice by emailing kim.mackie@selfcarehome.com.

If you would like a set of colour copies, just email kim.mackie@selfcarehome.com with your name and a location where they can be dropped off.
