If you haven’t heard by now, Waterloo is very excited to welcome RAGBRAI into our community on July 29. We need lots of volunteers to make it happen! Allen Hospital is working on staffing a First Aid tent and we need 12-20 volunteers.

While we do need some volunteers with medical experience (nurses, physicians, etc) we can also use people who have no clinical experience. If you’re interested, contact Angie Fuller at 319-235-3960 or fullerad@ihs.org. If you’d like to volunteer in another part of the RAGBRAI experience, click here. There are all sorts of ways you can help us make this the best RAGBRAI overnight stop for 2010!

NAMI PEER-to-PEER CLASS
For people with mental illness who want to establish and maintain their wellness and recovery.

10-week course meets once a week every Thursday: Sept. 9 through Nov. 11, 5:30pm to 7:30pm.
First Congregational Church, 608 W. 4th St., Waterloo

Experienced mentors who lead the class are trained through the state office of NAMI Iowa (National Alliance on Mental Illness). Participants will receive a binder of educational material to keep and will also develop a plan to help identify feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that may warn of impending relapse. The class allows people to share with peers in order to better manage and cope, and also learn how to be active participants in their own treatment.

Registration is required; please contact the NAMI office at 235-5263 if you have questions or would like to participate.
