WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA

ONONDAGA COUNTY VETERAN’S CEMETARY

Saturday, December 15, 2018 – Save the date, but make purchase NOW because cut off is December 1st, 2018.

American Legion Post 787 (Legion Riders) will coordinate a ‘ride/caravan’ to participate and support this fantastic, annual event.

A short ceremony will be followed by the placing of the wreaths on veteran’s graves.

A fantastic memorial to American deceased veterans that can involve individuals, groups, and entire families including grandparents, parents, children, and grandchildren.

More information will be posted as we receive this year’s script from Onondaga County’s sponsor, but purchase before the cutoff.

Anyone interested in sponsoring a wreath for a veteran that is in the Onondaga County Veteran Cemetery, here is the available information:

Syracuse HOG Volunteer Opportunity at the VA Medical Center

Dwayne Scott — Tue, 08 Mar 2016 16:37:45 +0000

Syracuse HOG Volunteer Opportunity at the VA Medical Center
The Syracuse VA Medical Center is looking for volunteers for their In-Home Respite care program.
Below is some information from the program coordinator as well as general information that may help you decide if you would like to participate in this program.
This is not a Syracuse HOG specific activity but please let me know if you do decide to volunteer in this program. It is a great way to help our Veteran’s, of which we have many in our HOG club, and to show the community that bikers care.
*************************************************************************************
A volunteer is matched with a Veteran and a Veteran’s family. As a volunteer you will go to the Veteran’s home for 2-4 hours and visit with the Veteran while the care giver gets some “worry free time away”. The schedule will be set up according to the caregiver’s needs as well as your availability. The visit will be a “friendly visit” in that you will talk, play cards, watch TV etc. with the Veteran. There’s no “hands on” or medical care with the Veteran.
To be a respite volunteer, you will need to attend volunteer orientation and be fingerprinted. Those orientations are at 10 am on either Monday or Wednesday of each week, excluding Federal Holidays. Let me know what day you would like me to schedule for orientation. Be sure to bring 2 forms of ID.
Additionally, you will need a background investigation. I have attached 2 forms that HR will need so that can be initiated. Additionally, you will need to meet with me to be trained specific for Respite. I can train you the same day you do orientation.
Email or call the individual below and she will be glad to answer any of your questions and schedule you for orientation and also Respite training.

Home Respite Volunteer Program

When will I use the
Home Respite Volunteer Program?

Caregivers may request to have volunteers come into their home when they need to:
· Run errands
· Go to the doctor
· Go shopping
· Visit with friends
· Attend community functions
· Just need a break

How often can a Home Respite Volunteer
come to my home?
Volunteers are available for home visits between 1 to 4 hours a week.
How will I know my loved one is safe? Home Respite Volunteers are personally interviewed and screened by the VA. In addition, they must complete a clinical training program, standard volunteer orientation, and a background investigation. Volunteers are educated about:
· Basic information on aging
· Special problems of the elderly
· Community resources
· Emergency procedures
· Guidelines/responsibilities of working with
frail and/or elderly individuals

What will I do as a Home Respite Volunteer?
Volunteers may visit a Veteran in his/her home once or twice a week for a period of 1 to 4 hours a week to allow the caregiver a much-deserved break and “worry free time away”.
Volunteers can expect to:
· Provide compassionate care to Veterans
· Be a good listener and communicator
· Provide a break for the caregiver
· Provide companionship to the Veteran
· Report any problems to the program coordinator

What other kinds of activities can I do as a
Home Respite Volunteer?
Volunteers in the Home Respite Volunteer
Program may also:
· Teach the individual a simple craft or activity
· Read aloud favorite books, magazines or
letters
· Look at photos
· Help write a letter
· Do a puzzle
· Play games (cards, etc.)
· Reminisce
· Listen to music
· Start a stamp or coin collection
· Go for a walk

How do I become a Home Respite Volunteer?

When you decide you would like to help a caregiver and his/her loved one, please call Voluntary Service, Lisa Gualtieri (315) 425-4315

Beaver Lake Pancake breakfast

root — Sun, 15 Mar 2015 22:58:14 +0000

Not really a HOG community service event, but this is a big money making event for Beaver Lake so you are definitey helping support the many nature programs they hold all year long.

BEAVER LAKE NATURE CENTER
Pancake Breakfasts
Saturdays in March; March 7, 14, 21, 28 April 4 time: 9am – 12 pm

Enjoy pancakes, sausage and juice or fresh brewed coffee!
Breakfast will range from $3 to $5, depending on your appetite.
Visitors, including groups, are seated and served on a first-come, first-served basis.

I would like to make it a group event on March 21, so if your interested in meeting please contact me and we can set a specified
time and place meet. After breakfast, follow the maple leaves to the Sugar maple walk to learn about maple syruping.
For the more adventuresome, there are snow shoes for rent or just take a hike on the designated trails. There is also cross country
on groomed trails, depending on the snow pack.

There is a $4.00 fee payable when you depart the nature center. Simply purchase a token at the desk before you leave.

Hopefully some of you can join me on the 21st but if not, maybe I will see some of you out there one of the other weekends.
