Fall Risk Prevention for Seniors

Falls cost 30 BILLION Dollars a year...Don’t Be a Statistic

s we age, there are many factors that seriously threaten our ability to remain safe and independent in our homes and environment. Among these are declining sight, increased difficulty hearing, and compounding medical issues and complexities that can potentially weaken our bodies. When you look at these factors individually or in any combination, it becomes obvious why among older adults, falls are one of the leading causes of fatal and non-fatal injuries.

cost for an injury resulting from a fall was $34,294 in 2012. Another effect of an initial traumatic fall is increased fear of another fall, which then creates a new host of problems. For example, fear of falling may cause a person to limit their physical activity and decrease participation in social activities which in turn leads to decreased mobility and decreased physical fitness. Decreased physical fitness can lead to poor balance and weakness and, thus, places a person at greater risk for falls.

“Can falls be prevented?”

Some statistics presented by the CDC in 2010, indicate that 2.3 million nonfatal injuries among older adults were treated in emergency departments in the United States and that, of that number, more than 662,000 of the patients were hospitalized. It is also reported by the CDC that the cost of these falls and injuries was $30 billion dollars. Other statistics presented by the CDC indicate that falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and that in 2000, 46% of fatal falls were due to traumatic brain injuries suffered as a result of those falls. Other injuries included lacerations, a host of leg and arm fractures, and less severe head traumas. The cost of recovering from a fall can be staggering and have devastating consequences on the financial stability of a patient and/or caregiver. According to the CDC, the average cost to Medicare of a fall in 2012 was between $13,797 and $20,450. On average, the hospitalization

Results of the National Health Interview Survey (1997 and 1998), indicated that the majority of falls (55%) occur inside the home, specifically of that fifty-five percent, 31% occur in living rooms, 30% in bedrooms, 19% in kitchens, and 13% in bathrooms. With these statistics in mind,

the question is “Can falls be prevented?” The answer is most falls are preventable if the proper actions and precautions are taken in advance. The following are some of the measures that can be put into place to prevent a fall. • Seek a thorough home inspection by a Certified Aging In Place provider who is trained to look at a home environment from a safety perspective. • Remove tripping hazards such as throw rugs, loose cords, and furniture that impedes ease of mobility. • Wear shoes with good tread. • Discuss your medications with your doctor and/or pharmacist and identify t h e side effects t h a t may affect balance o r level of alert-

ness. Install • grab bars inside and outside the shower/tub and next to the toilet.

By: Sheila Delacerda, MA, CCC/SLP of Total Service Contracting, Inc. • Make sure lighting is adequate throughout the home. • Install railings on both sides of indoor and outdoor (entry) stairways. • Exercise regularly. The stronger you are and the better your balance is, the less likely you will be to fall. A Certified Aging In Place Specialist is a professional certified to carryout a home inspection in order to determine the best modifications and adaptations to an individual’s living environment in order to optimize independence and safety. The caring and knowledgeable team at Total Service Contracting, Inc. (TSC) will assist in getting residences professionally “age-proofed”, so that seniors can continue to live in the comfort and security of home—all the while maintaining a level of independence in a safe manner.

Customer Experience In 2008 I realized that my Dad, who at the time was 93 years old, could no longer climb in and out of the bathtub in his bathroom. To make matters even more difficult, he did not want me, his only daughter, to help him. Our only solution was to remodel the bathroom to make it safe and convenient for him to shower without assistance. TSC came in to evaluate our needs, estimate the cost, and help with design issues. The result was a beautiful bathroom with a walk-in shower stall, a sitting bench, grab bars, a handheld shower unit, improved lighting, and an easy access glass enclosure. The tiling and countertops were elegant and modern which enhanced the appearance of the bathroom and the overall value of the home. My Dad and I could not be happier with the outcome. He retained his privacy and independence and I continue to get compliments on my beautiful bathroom. - Carmen May, TSC Customer

Trans-Atlantic Kayaker Completes Journey

By Courtney Senecal Chris Ford–would become an integral–some might even say crucial–part of the victorious and dramatic end to the last days of Olek’s groundbreaking and triumphant expedition.

The Inside Story Olek gazes west to land for the last time in quiet reflection before finishing his journey on the intercoastal waterway...the sea had been conquered.

fter completing a record-breaking 6,000 mile trans-Atlantic journey, 67-year old Polish kayaker Aleksander “Olek” Doba spent his exhausting last few miles in the water—and thrilling first moments on land—with the Aging Tree family. For the past three months, Aging Tree Illustrated has been covering Olek’s grueling sixmonth expedition across the Atlantic, from the coast of Portugal all the way to our very own New Smyrna Beach, FL. Along the way he’s battled incredibly rough, unfavorable winds and waves, which ultimately extended his journey about two extra months and posed serious risks to his health, safety and his dream of completing a trans-Atlantic, deep-sea kayaking mission.

No Shortage of Drama on the High Seas

After suffering a broken rudder in February, Olek sought repairs in Bermuda; and with the help and kind graces of Bermu-

dians, he was able to get back on the water for the last leg of his journey—not without tribulation, however. The moment that the Spirit of Bermuda (a sailboat commissioned to lower Olek’s kayak back in the water) released the custom-made vessel, its wings broke off, leaving Olek’s welfare at the mercy of the ocean. The crucial safety device–wrapped over and around the front of the kayak for flip prevention–was dismantled and Olek was left to navigate the rest of the expedition (and the rough ocean climate) with nothing but luck on his side. “We were afraid to leave him because of how bad the weather was,” stated Nicola Muir-

head, a journalist aboard the Spirit of Bermuda at the time of Olek’s departure. Thankfully, Olek’s risk was worth it, and he approached the coast of Florida on Thursday, April 17th, himself and his kayak (mostly) in one piece. There to greet him: his friend Piotr, Polish news crew, and none other than the Aging Tree family—all aboard the same boat.

An Unexpected Connection Leads to the Exclusive Inside Story of Aleksander Doba’s Arrival

Months ago, Aging Tree CEO Corey Shenk heard about Olek’s incredible mission and decided Photo taken on the Spirit of Bermuda it would make Photo credit: Nicola Muirhead an exceptional story for Aging Tree Illustrated readers—little did he know, he– along with staff member Priscilla Kincaid, daughter Taylor Shenk, and good friend

“At first we got into it for the story…and then all of a sudden we became entrenched in it,” says Corey. “It turned out to be a very humbling experience.” It all started when Corey got wind of the details of Olek’s arrival from Piotr Chmielinski, a friend of Olek’s and a key orchestrator of the expedition. Piotr, himself a kayaker and adventurer (known as one of the “world’s greatest river explorers,” according to National Geographic), devoted the last six months of his life to Olek’s expedition. And, when it came time to meet his friend off Florida’s weathered coast, he rode right along with the Aging Tree crew.

The First Glimpse of an Iconic Voyager

The first site of Olek came as the group traveled in a local charter boat off of Cape Canaveral (near Jetty Park) the evening of Thursday, April 17th. Seas were rough and waves were cresting at a height of about six to eight

Trans-Atlantic Journey

The closer they got, and the more people that showed, the more Olek’s spirits were infused with joy and a last, essential burst of energy. feet, but as Olek’s figure materialized in the distance, there were smiles and expressions of excitement all around. While Olek and Piotr did their best to communicate over the open ocean (Piotr gradually losing his voice) the group– with Olek paddling alongside–made their way to Jetty Park for what would be Olek’s first euphoric coastal reception.

A Stunning Moment of Quiet Victory Morphs into a Frenzied Celebration

Just as Olek was approaching land, he drifted a bit from the boat and quietly gazed ahead towards the West: the finish line. At this point, Corey noticed the diversion and snapped a picture, an image he says will stay close to his heart for many years to come. “He drifted from the boat, put his head down and was still for a minute, then he looked up,” in a moment Corey describes as, “his own quiet victory.” Getting a snapshot of that exact moment was one of the biggest thrills of Corey’s very personal experience with the world-record breaking voyager (see article header image). “It was an ‘I did this moment’ of humble achievement…I can’t express how humble he is, he’s just done this great thing but he’d be just as happy about it even if no one knew.” Well, people knew. As Olek paddled along the coast to-

ward Jetty Park, crowds gathered, Polish flags waved, cars honked their horns, and all the excitement prompted police to appear wondering what all the ruckus was about.

“He stood up on the boat, did interviews and took pictures,” and, according to Corey (who had the honor of tying Olek’s kayak to the dock for his brief, initial reception), “about 3040 minutes later,” he was back on the water and via the intercoastal waterway, on his way to New Smyrna Beach.

A Rough End to a Rough Journey The next day and a half traveling along the intercoastal would take a toll on

Knowing the journey was not accomplished until Olek reached his final destination in New Smyrna, Piotr fervently warned Corey and the rest of the group about the police presence, cautioning, “Don’t let them take him out of the boat!” Already noticeably exhausted, Olek was struggling with the river tide and wind. As Olek approached the dock, it filled with people and nearly sank, challenging the police to control the crowd. Once Olek cleared U.S. customs regulations dockside– still in the boat–he spent some

time chatting and receiving praise from the crowd.

Olek, who went full force, without sleep for fear he would miss his arrival reception scheduled in New Smyrna for 3:00 p.m. Saturday afternoon. On Saturday morning, Corey took his own boat, in-limbo too, with Aging Tree’s Priscilla Kincaid; his daughter Taylor Shenk; friend and first mate, Chris Ford; and Piotr and Nikola on board to greet Olek as he finished the last few miles of his amazing excursion. As they approached him, he was elated to

see everyone again but noticeably exhausted and astoundingly weathered-looking compared to just over a day before. Corey noticed, “…he was incredibly tired and going very, very slow because the tide came in…if he were to stop paddling just one time, he would go backwards.” At this point Piotr became noticeably worried about his comrade.

...At this point Piotr became noticeably worried about his comrade.

“With two miles left he was laboring heavily and we were running behind schedule,” states Corey, who noticed that due to exhaustion, Olek was only getting about ¼ of the paddle into the water and barely gaining momentum. When Corey, Piotr and the group left Olek to grab lunch and prep for the reception, they returned about an hour and a half later to find he had barely gained a half of a mile. In the interim, Olek decided he needed to wash his boat (and himself) before meeting his fans at the finish line; but in that short amount of time, the tide and wind turned forcefully against him. Already exhausted, Olek was struggling. Seeing his friend in great distress, Piotr alarmed the group, fearfully stating, “Olek doesn’t feel he needs to eat, he must at least eat a piece of chocolate or he’ll die.”

At this point it was about 3:00. Already late for the reception, Piotr convinced Olek to stop briefly for what would be his final meal in the kayak he’d ate, slept and lived in for six months. After eating chocolate, a powdered milk concoction and fruit (all part of one of the specially made “backpackers”

meals prepared for Olek before his departure), everyone agreed it was just what he needed to finish the journey. Then in a move typical of Olek, “… he wanted to know if any of us wanted some,” recounts Corey. After this brief stop to refuel, Olek was energized

and raring to go. Following Piotr and the rest of the group in Corey’s boat, he again set out yet again to finally see the victorious end of his record-breaking expedition. As Olek approached the bridge in New Smyrna (the proverbial finish line) countless boats and kayaks began to appear. “First there was one, then there were two, three…in a matter of 20 minutes we had at least 40 boats and kayaks surrounding us,” states Corey, “It infused him, he started smiling a lot,

the whole time the bridge getting bigger and bigger.”

The closer they got, and the more people that showed, the more Olek’s spirits were infused with joy and a last–very essential–burst of energy.

A Miraculous Ending to an Unimaginable Journey

“In the last mile,” recounts Corey, “something amazing happened.” The tides turned for the better, the winds shifted and Olek was pushed, gliding towards a growing crowd of cheering fans. Kayakers, still appearing in a swarm, began banging their paddles in a show of applause, cheering him on for the last 100 yards. As Olek approached the coast and docked his kayak, onlookers cheered, flags waved and crowds gathered among the dock as Olek’s vessel was tied and stationed. Stepping out, still not on solid ground, Olek made his way near the grass and after a jovial 30-second countdown, he jumped up and firmly planted his two feet on the grass while everyone cheered. After giving the ground a big kiss, Olek was honored in a proclamat i o n made by New Smyrna Beach Mayor, Adam Barringer, who declared April 19th Olek Doba Day.

The Experience Continues, and the Memory Will Remain

After the height of the excitement dwindled, the Ag-

ing Tree crew accompanied Piotr and the rest to a local restaurant, where they shared in Olek’s first meal—he also enjoyed a few beers and cocktails in celebration. Reflecting back on the experience—as unexpected, thrilling and inspiring as it was—Corey and his companions can hardly believe they took part (however small) in Olek’s monumental, inspirational achievement.

It Was the Best of Times; It Was the Worst of Times

The Bridge in the distance appears as Olek sees the finish line for the first time.

Top highlights of Olek’s trip— both the bad and the good… We asked Olek about the most amazing sight he saw out on the open ocean, his response: Piotr gives a thumbs up as hoards of kayakers and boats accompany Olek to shore.

“I was in the cockpit and I felt ‘something is watching me.’ I looked back and behind me, about 30 yards away, I saw a huge whale—looking straight at me— and I just had this feeling someone was staring at me.” We couldn’t help but notice Olek’s aversion to clothes, if you’ve read our earlier stories you may already know he paddled naked a good part of the journey. The reason:

Corey and his daughter gave Olek a gift, the ponce inlet light house replica as it was always his final light of destination Corey Shenk, Olek and Priscilla Kincaid share a moment of joy off the dock at Jetty Park in Port Canaveral.

The elements took a toll on Olek’s skin early on. Days of sitting and paddling, saltwater, sun, and wind caused Olek’s skin to blister and weep. When it came time to change clothes, the blistering skin would stick to the material and subsequently rip off—causing pain and discomfort. Thus, paddling without clothes became more of a necessity than a preference. Olek’s advice to fans and admirers: “If one has dreams, a plan, just do it. Make it happen.”

Walk-In Tubs

Physical Freedom is just a bath away.

ost of us take for granted the physical freedoms we enjoy each and every day, but once you know firsthand what it’s like to feel imprisoned by a body that just doesn’t quite work like it used to, you realize how much it means to achieve a taste of independence as you go about your daily routine. A walk-in tub can give seniors just that and much more; and though any bathroom renovation is considered a pretty big investment, a walk-in bathtub is one that you will value and benefit from for years to come.

The Case for Walk-in Tubs

Statistics show that more than one in three seniors over the age of 65 fall each year, and the National Institute on Aging (NIA) says that 80 percent of these falls occur in the bathroom. Just one fall can mean a drastic decline in health and a guaranteed degrade in mobility level for seniors. What’s more, falling puts many at risk for infection, and some are unlucky enough to never recover from a bad spill.

Senior Medical Supplies

Brace yourself for quality care and pain relieving aids

ou know that saying, “You can tell a lot about a man by the way he treats his mother”? Well, fact is, you can tell an awful lot about a company by the way they treat their employees, too. One meeting with team at Senior Medical Supplies (SMS), and you’ll quickly learn that they’re more like family than coworkers—and this sort of working environment could not breed a more caring, capable and compassionate company to handle the medical supply needs of seniors and the handicapped. When I walked into Maria Carvajal’s office (the Chief Operating Officer for SMS), she had a concerned look on her face and a phone to her ear, and I couldn’t help but overhear the heartfelt “get well soon” wishes she offered to someone who I could only guess was a very dear family member. As she wrapped up the phone call and sincerely apologized for the brief wait – I remarked that it was no problem at all, and I was sorry to hear that someone in her family was sick. “Oh,” she laughed, “that was Toya, she works here and is out today.” This was just the first sign I encountered that told me this company is something special. As I learned more about what the team at SMS does day-to-day and heard stories about how they interact with one another and their patients– especially the one man who calls each and every day just to have someone to talk to–I was touched by the level of quality care and personal attention they give, not only to one another, but to each patient they serve as well. Senior Medical Supplies provides medical equipment like braces and other stabilizing products that work to aid and bring comfort to the lives of people who are experiencing pain and discomfort as a result

of aging, trauma or other chronic and acute medical conditions. Drawing from industry expertise, the company’s reps determine the best product solutions for particular physical challenges. The staff works along with the discretion of physicians and insurance companies to determine product solutions that work to alleviate pain and discomfort through alignment and support. In some cases, SMS

at all times and to never give up on someone in need—even if there isn’t financial gain to be had. “I always think if it was my grandmother or my mom, how would I go about helping them,” explained Vanessa Vargas, one of the company reps, as she discussed her role with patients. Recently, SMS gained their newest fan (and maybe one of their biggest) practicing

By Courtney Senecal made him feel close to whole again. Pastor Mike explains he could not be more thankful for the staff, who went above and beyond, treating him like family rather than dismissing him due to his insurance. “They were very helpful and friendly, and within two days I had the equipment.” Drawing from their own, personal experiences within the medical field helps the SMS team continue to ascribe to their caring customer philosophy—a philosophy that has even driven at least two staff members to personally deliver equipment (afterhours) to a patient’s home.

products can eliminate the need for surgery—or at least delay an impending surgical procedure. SMS products and services work wonders for patients suffering with arthritis, back and neck pain, and more—and with an empathetic and kindhearted staff of professionals, there’s no better place to turn. In today’s climate of Medicare and health insurance changes, finding a caring and compassionate company to turn to for medical supply needs is easier said than done. But even patients that are denied insurance coverage for medical supplies can count on the team at SMS to continue to work diligently (and kindly) to find a provider or comparable product covered by their plan. The customer philosophy at SMS seems to be to be kind and caring

“I started working for this company two weeks before my son got hurt,” explains Maria. Living through that experience with him – the cast, the boot the physical therapy, and rehab, “it touched home.” business this way: patient Mike Vallot (known to the staff as “Pastor Mike”). After reinjuring his back and suffering from an incredible amount of pain dayto-day—Pastor Mike found no relief turning to numerous doctors and types of medicine. Then he encountered SMS. “I was in pain, and I didn’t have a life. Then I ran across their ad in the newspaper and I had also seen one on T.V.—I stopped by the office… and it just changed my life.” Although Pastor Mike’s insurance did not cover the oneand-only brace that he found relief with when he visited the SMS office that day, the team did not give up on his case (even though they weren’t gaining any profit from it). They found a way to make it happen, and worked to get him the only aid that

Whether you’re looking for pain relieving equipment to aid yourself or a loved one, the team at SMS will give you the caring support and personalized attention that is so needed in the medical field today. And with a group of compassionate, considerate individuals that boasts extensive industry knowledge and a commitment to continuously train and brush up on the latest in supplies and alternatives in the medical equipment industry—you can be assured you’re in the right hands, whether you receive coverage or not.

Ask Savvy Sue

Hi Y’all

By Savvy Sue

...Seniors, have the talk about preplanning to give you and your family peace of mind.

Ask Savvy S ue

his month I’d like to respond to a request from one of my readers. The request is to write about, “Having the Talk.” Yep, the one we all most dread having. In the manual, I co-authored ElderCare Simplified; we suggest you begin “The Talk” with the following question: “What are your wishes and desires for your sunset years?”

From personal experience I can tell you—and excuse the slang, “It ain’t an easy talk!” I haven’t had an elder in my family that has embraced admitting they need in-home help or moving for additional senior care. For us, this talk was started and continued over several months and done step by step. Fortunately, my elders were more proactive and responsive when it came to prearranging for their own funerals. Even though these talks were emotionally draining; once their wishes, desires and needs were expressed and act-

ed upon, it gave all of us peace of mind. Some of the business members of Aging Tree were kind enough to offer some additional resources and insight into this difficult topic. Rita Benesch, Community Sales Director, of Atria at Lake Forest, shared a wonderful brochure with me about this topic. The front cover has an elephant in a living room and is titled, YOU CAN’T KEEP WORKING AROUND IT FOREVER. It goes on to say-It’s time to talk with your parent about the elephant in the room. The brochure gives six great answers to some of our parent’s most stubborn comments about wanting to remain living independently even after it is no longer safe to do so. One such answer includes: But what if you fall, or can’t get to the phone for whatever reason? At Atria, help will be a lot clos-

er than I am, from a staff who will know just what to do and be discreet about it. Besides

you shouldn’t have to depend solely on me for company. You deserve more. Getting out with folks your own age will be great for you. Our discussion with families is called the “Conversation” says Tim Wagstaff, Family Service Manager at, Deltona Memorial Funeral Home and Cemetery and there are two types of conversations that can occur:

The difficult conversation – when no prearrangements are made and a loved one’s next of kin are charged with making over 50+ decisions, often within hours. On one of life’s most difficult days someone will have to make some of life’s most difficult decisions…and they are often left with the uncertainty of not knowing the answer to two important questions: What would they have wanted? Did I do the right thing? The guilt of not knowing can tear a family apart. And lastly, the financial burden of having to secure funds in a short period of time can add enormous stress to any family. There is an easier conversation – preplanning removes all of the stress decisions that need cont. on page 22

22 to be made and having a plan fully funded takes the financial stress out of the process allowing loved ones to spend more to coping and grieving the loss than managing details and the business of a funeral. We plan every day for things that might happen, we have insurance policies to protect us for home, heath, auto and cell phones and yet over 70% of adults do not have a plan for final arrangements. If it makes sense to plan for things that might happen, doesn’t it make even more sense to plan for things that will happen? If you haven’t already done so—consider having “The Talk” with your family and the sooner the better! Please email any comments you may have about difficult conversations with our se-

Johana Knox Awards...Time To Applaud Volunteers.

have recently seen, in print and on the web, announcements for the 2014 Johana Knox Award for Community Service Excellence. These announcements included requests for nominations for volunteers that you deem deserving of the award. Deadline for nominations is May 16th. Forms can be requested and submissions `made FishFoundation@fhfm.org. at Nominees will be recognized at the 2014 Johana Knox Awards Dinner at 6pm on Thursday, June 19, 2014 at Deltona Commission Chambers at 2345 Providence Blvd, Deltona, FL 32725. The award was named for West Volusia’s best-known volunteer, Johana Knox, who served the area’s non-profits for over 30 years, offering thousands of hours of her time, as well as resources. Knox passed in 2012, yet this years 6th annual award dinner will honor her spirit of service and philanthropy to her community. Previous recipients of the award included: 2009 Sandra Wilson, executive director of the Gateway Center for the Arts; 2010 Ida Jane Wegrzyn, Florida Hospital Fish Memorial Auxiliary 2011 Brenda Gormley, Haven Hospice (The Memory Bear Project). 2012 Rani Merens, Artist, and volunteer at Volusia Literacy Council, etc. 2013 Felicia Benzo: for C.A.T.A.L.Y.S.T. (“Children and Adults Together Achieving Leadership”) mentoring program. Also in 2013, Olivia Russo-Hood, a 12-year old was honored as the first ever Johana Knox award for community service excellence YOUTH recipient.

I spoke with the first recipient, Sandra Wilson about being given the award and about her volunteering experiences. Wilson stated that, “it was an honor to receive the award, and that it was an affirmation of all the efforts by her and other volunteers that made the Gateway Center for the Arts a reality”. “The bond” among the volunteers, “feels like a family”. She also shared that, “when you are doing something that you are passionate about, it is not work, the motivation to help comes from the heart”. Wilson also gave credit to God for “leading along the way” and working out details that were beyond their abilities. So, why should I volunteer? The recent focus on the upcoming event honoring volunteerism motivated me to investigate the benefits of giving of one’s time and resources to others. I found a lot of encouraging, peer reviewed research at the website for the Corporation of National and Community Service (www. nationalservice.gov). Research has shown a strong relationship between volunteering and health: those who volunteer have lower mortality rates, greater functional ability, and lower rates of depression later in life than those who do not volunteer. Benefits were also shown to include a greater sense of purpose in their lives. My favorite research found a positive relationship between volunteering and lower levels of

depression, especially in individuals 65 and older. And benefits are not only limited to mental health as shown in another study that showed that volunteers reported a greater life satisfaction and better physical health, than those who did not volunteer. Two more studies showed that volunteering can help alleviate chronic pain; and it can help increase recovery from coronary artery disease. These same studies two also revealed that those individuals who vo l u n t e e r e d exhibited reductions of despair, disability and depression; symptoms which were shown to be common and often detrimental to recovery from chronic pain and heart disease. “I’m interested in volunteering, what next?”. First, research shows that making personal contact with the person you help or at least a venue that would allow a strong

By Loren Fish, LCSW emotional connection (such as phone hotline) will give the best results to the person volunteering. Second, help often: have a goal of about 2 hours per week (100 hours per year). Third, make it a task that you are already equipped to do, or one you are willing to be trained in. And fourth, involve yourself in something that is of personal interest to you. The choice is very important, but it’s equally important to persist until you find the right kind of helping for you. If you enjoy volunteering you will want to keep at it, and you will continue to reap the benefits for your Heart, Soul, Mind and Body! And who knows, maybe next year you could also be a nominee for the Johana Knox Award for Community Service Excellence! Please join me next month when we focus ways to volunteer in West Volusia and beyond.
