2025 Walk to End Alzheimer's - North County San Diego
Saturday, September 20, 2025. This event is a week before my birthday. What a great way to celebrate my birthday.
Why This Matters to Me? My mom has been living with Alzheimer’s for many years, and I see firsthand how deeply it impacts not just the person, but the entire family. Ric, my husband and co-host of the Senior Living Education Series, also walked this journey with his dad, who faced dementia in his later years.

These experiences are what fuel our passion for educating and supporting older adults and their families. They’re also why we support the Alzheimer’s Association—an organization doing critical work in research, advocacy, and caregiver support.

🚶‍♀️ I'm Walking for a World Without Alzheimer's
This year, I’m participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s to honor our families’ journeys and raise awareness and funds for the Alzheimer’s Association.

If this cause speaks to you—or if you've been touched by Alzheimer’s or dementia in your own life—I invite you to join me in making a difference.

I am participating in Walk to End Alzheimer's. Donate today and help me reach my goal.

This is a common question. Hard to consider a move to a senior community when we had planned to age in place.

At what age should I move to Assisted Living? It's all about assessing your needs. Read more about how to know when it is time to transition on our blog.

Free Boomer and Senior Seminar Series at the Encinitas Senior Center

Topic: Selling a House As-Is: Pros, Cons, and How to Get a Fair Price
Can A Home Be Sold In “As-Is” Condition?
The simple answer is ‘yes’ you can sell a home as-is. But the better question is, “Does it make sense to do so?” Everyone has heard the adage, “buyer beware.” But, when it comes to as-is real estate transactions, experts add the caution “seller beware” – particularly if the purchase offer comes from an investor.

This program is for educational and informational purposes only (no sales) and is designed to help seniors make educated, informed decisions during times of transition. Seminars are free of charge, and anyone interested is welcome to attend. Registration is required.

I joined Encinitas Rotary almost a year ago. I love how much this group of people does to help others both locally and internationally. Most recently the Encinitas Rotary Sent $22K for Humanitarian Supplies for Ukrainian Refugees. If you are so inclined you are able to join in our Second Donation Drive...here is a bit of information about it:

Daphne Fletcher a member of Encinitas Rotary Club made a presentation about her visit to Ukraine to find family roots near Uzhgorod. Just 48 hours later, the Encinitas Rotary Club Foundation had a $22,000 bank wire out the door based on refugee assistance pledges from Encinitas Rotary members, friends, and even meeting visitors.
Now we are planning a second bank wire to go out by March 31, 2022. We invite your donation by check made out to Encinitas Rotary Club Foundation, P.O Box 230223, Encinitas, CA 92023-0223. We are not taking donations electronically in order to avoid bank and credit card fees and ensure that 100% of donations go to the cause. The Encinitas Rotary Club Foundation is a designated 501(c)3 charity (EIN 33-0553437), meaning donations are tax deductible depending on your tax situation. Please include your name, address, and email so we can send you a donation receipt.
The recipient, Rotary Club of Kosice Classic in Slovakia, is that Rotary District’s designated coordinator for humanitarian supplies. Through a signed donor agreement, Rotary Club Kosice Classic will use the Encinitas Rotary Foundation funds to procure supplies and get them to the Rotary Club of Uzhgorod-Skala, just across the Ukrainian border. Both clubs assess daily the situation of refugees at the border. Mechanisms are in place to transport and distribute supplies. A number of Rotary Clubs in Europe have been routing donated supplies through Rotary Club Kosice Classic. Encinitas Rotary’s monetary donation will provide Euros to purchase bulk supplies in Slovakia for refugees crossing the border. Please reach out to me if you have questions

Encinitas Rotary Club has raised more than $22,000 for relief efforts in war-torn Ukraine
