VfrlAT IF?
VJ!-'iAT IF one day 7ou're, as they say in the South, "Sick in the bed", and you just
drag yourself out to the store? Well, if it's just one day, or maybe two, you lie there^^fc
hope for the best, and maybe the third day you are recovered and off you to to town. Or
maybee you call a really good friend and ask if they'd mind picking up some orange juice
for you.
WHAT IF a time came when we need help every day for a week, or even longer. Most of
us probably are not able to bring ourselves to ask for that kind of help. And. by the same
token, none of us wants to get involved doing full time volunteer errand work for anyone
else either.
WHAT IF you needed a prescription filled, or even a new box of tissues. Do you know
of a drug store that delivers? [If so, please pass their name along to us!]
WHAT IF your spouse [or parent, or pet] keeps you close to home and you hsve a chance
to go off for the day but have no way to see they get their lunch cr just have a little
company.
WHAT IF you are somebody who'd like to have a part time job. Maybe you don't want to
work 8 hours a day or even every week, but it would be great to have some extra cash for
some special treat.
VfrlAT IF we could match up these needs with people who are available to fill them? Well,
some of us are working on just that.
WHAT IF you knew the Pine Knoll Shores Women's Club is preparing a directory of people
available to offer the kinds of services mention, along with several others, such as house-
cleaning, practical nursing, meals, etc., etc., as well as services available in our commun
ity of which you may not be aware. For example, did you know you can stop in at the Med
Center and have a free blood pressure check any time you pass by? Did you know they havo^^
a doctor or physician’s assistant available by phone 24 hours a day to help you decide ii^|r
you should go to the emergency room during the night? [The number is 247-2464]. This could
save you the cost of the hospital emergency room - or send you off at once when you might
have waited until morning.
WHAT IF you are one who might be interested in being paid a nominal amount to do helf-
ful things for other people in Pine Knoll Shores - or are one who would like to know someone
to call to help you???? Give us a call and we will share the sources we have lined up so
far, or add your name to those who would be available to help.
