MPORTANT / PLEASE READ -ACTION REQUIRED

Good morning and I hope this email finds everyone well.

Those of you seeing this list have expressed interest or have stated you will come to the First Aid / CPR / AED Class which is being proposed for our Battalion 18 area. I am happy to say that the class is no longer proposed, it is set to happen. Initially, we were looking to have this class during a weekday, but due to the instructor(s) being fully booked, we have moved it to SATURDAY MARCH 8, 2025 from 1000-1400 Hours. This date is fast approaching so we want to make sure that everyone has a spot that wants one for this important training. To follow are all of the details relating to the class. Payment information is near the bottom. Read this very carefully and let us know if there are any questions ALSO, if you are no longer interested/attending, please let us know as well. The reason for these specific instructions is that the NUMBER of people attending will determine how many instructors are needed for the class. Another reason, as I have stated previously, is that every class that is hosted has NO SHOWS. Because the organizer is left "holding the bag" when no shows occur, we must ask for payment in advance. Thanks much!

On Wednesday 10-02-24 Candid conversations in our community are those honest but frank talks we have with one another where we respect each other's views and openness to share. We unmask our feelings without judgment and learn from one another about where we are and how we got here. Possibly where we are headed. Health and health outcomes are oftentimes are intricately woven in a myriad of social determinants and life experiences impacting one's ability to respond proactively which leaves us with reactive responses. We say let's talk about it. We have invited special guests into this dialogue, here we will learn why "ALL of Us" is needed. Registration is open for our upcoming Lunch and Learn series.

I want to let you know that our CERT West Adams Team Leader Freddie Muse Jr. will be appearing on the radio this Saturday morning 9-28-24 between 0700-0800 Hours on KBLA 1580 AM. Now, before you get too excited, he won't be talking about CERT or probably anything related to it. He'll be talking about men's health issues especially those relating to our Black Men's cancer & prostate health.

As you know, Freddie, himself, is a cancer survivor and long-time advocate for men's health. Freddie, however, is a clever fellow who has the uncanny ability to embed other issues into this passion. He did that and has continued to do so with the CERT message which is near and dear to all of us. The funny thing is that it's reaped a harvest for our effort.Through his work in this area, we've gained relationships with several of our key houses of worship here in Battalion 18 including Holman United Methodist Church and the West Adams Church of Christ. West Adams Church of Christ serves as a key training site for us as well as a staging area and ANYTHING else we have ever needed.

As I stated, Freddie will be ON THE RADIO this weekend between 0700-0800 Hours on KBLA 1580 AM. Again, he'll be talking about men's health, especially prostate health for our black men. Please listen in AND, if you dare, you can call in LIVE at 800-920-1580 with questions and comments. Mizz Joy and I will be up early listening, and we hope you will be too to support and cheer on West Adams' own Freddie Muse Jr. BTW-KBLA is a local radio station broadcasting out of our Leimert Park community. 

 The Men's Cancer Network Inc. invites you to join them for their upcoming CPR/ AED/First-Aid Class on Saturday, June 22nd, 10 am-2 pm PT. Cost is $80 per person. Please use the QR-CODE for payment in the attachment, or contact me to make arrangements. Please share.

Good Morning, Freddie! From the Fred Jordan Mission.

This year we will do Christmas for the people of the street on Friday, December 22 at 10 am.  It will be inside.  They will come into the chapel service and then be dismissed to the dining room for a brunch breakfast.  I think we would need no more than 10 volunteers from your group.  We would be done by 12:30 pm.

Due to construction, parking is limited on Towne between 4th - 5th. We may be able to hold 2-3 spots in front. Your team may need to find parking throughout the surrounding area if additional are needed.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you!

Hi Freddie-Cancer in the Community Event.

just a heads up you will be receiving one of our cancer center service awards at the 12/16 conference. It’ll be right after Dr Lerman’s remarks. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday. Dr. Lourdes.

Freddie,

So nice to talk with you today.  As I mentioned this year’s Thanksgiving will not be as big as in the past.  We will be having a chapel service in our chapel and then the guests will go into our dining room for the Thanksgiving meal.  I have you down for Wednesday, November 22, 2023, from 8:00 am to 12 noon.  We are doing time slots so everyone has an opportunity to serve.  As I mentioned we do have that day filled with all the volunteer spots. 

We talked about seeing if your team would like to come on Tuesday, November 21, 2023, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. They would be able to help me with all the prep work for the meal in the kitchen. 

I attached a flyer of the event to this email. 

Please feel free to call me if you have any questions at 626-422-4437.

God Bless,

 As you know, cancer risk rises 11 times in adults over 65. As people age, the challenges of dealing with treatment side effects and managing cancer become more pronounced. Seniors often grapple with ongoing health concerns and face heightened risks when undergoing treatments. For individuals dealing with Alzheimer's and dementia, sticking to treatment regimens becomes difficult, which in turn lessens the effectiveness of those treatments.

To assist seniors and their families, we created a detailed guide that addresses common challenges in cancer care, provides information about various senior care options, and offers valuable advice for choosing the right care approach.
