Arnold, CA…On Tuesday, February 16, 2016 at 11:00 AM, SIR ( Sons in Retirement, Branch 152 ) will hold its Monthly Luncheon meeting at Snow Flake Lodge, 2255 Blue Lake Springs Drive, Arnold CA. The speaker for this months meeting will be Bonnie Nordby. Bonnie was scheduled to talk in September and again in November, 2015 but the Butte Fire and other issues interrupted her appearance. Bonnie is an RN who works for Calaveras County Public Health Services as coordinator of the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program. She supports and coordinates Community Health Volunteers who serve as facilitators for the Free Six Week Healthier Living Managing Chronic Health Condition Workshops, Diabetes Self-Management Workshops and Chronic Pain Self-Management Workshops that are held in locations throughout Calaveras County.

Each workshop meets for 2 ½ hours once a week for six weeks with 8-16 participants and are held in San Andreas, Valley Springs, Angels Camp, Murphys, Copperopolis, West Point, Mountain Ranch and Arnold. The workshop leaders are local residents who have a chronic health condition or have cared for someone with a chronic health condition. They are trained and certified to lead the workshops by Stanford University Patient Education Center. There is no cost to attend the workshop and no insurance or paperwork is required to attend. You do not need a referral from a medical provider. Bonnie will describe these workshops further.
