Put Your Creative Hats on and Name That Theme

Neighbor Ride is celebrating its 15th year of service on Sunday, November 17th. We’ll share the event details soon, but in the meantime would love your brainstorming help with selecting the theme or tagline. For our tenth anniversary, for instance, our theme was, “Celebrating a Million Miles of Smiles.” Please take a moment this week to share your ideas with us by emailing Colleen at community@neighborride.org.

Even when you can’t speak for yourself.

One of the hardest things for people to figure out is how to start talking with loved ones about their health care wishes. Join us and learn how to give the gift of peace of mind to your family and loved ones in the event that you cannot speak for yourself by naming a health care agent and thinking through your preferences for care.

Neighbor Ride is pleased to host a Conversation Starter Workshop for our volunteers and other members of the community.  The session will be facilitated by Paul Gleichauf who is on the Board of the Horizon Foundation and a long time Neighbor Ride driver.
