Weekly Meeting

Game Time Bar & Restaurant (Offsite)

Hide Details

Today we will be offsite at Game Time Sports Bar.

A place to celebrate and highlight athletes. Not just professional athletes(although this is Wisconsin and we certainly do love our professional teams) but every kind of athlete. At the beginning of each athlete's story, it started with a little league game, Sunday golf with dad, or a middle school basketball team. The local talent, the local athletes, both young and old, that's where our goal lies and those are the stories and the moments we hope to be a part of. The retired friends who gather for pickleball every Tuesday morning, the fathers and men, still crushing their tennis game each week, the new mothers, finding time for a yoga class. An athlete lives inside each of us. Game Time is a place to celebrate your victories both big and small. A first soccer goal, that hole in one, or that high school championship. We want to be part of your celebration. We can live stream local games on our 24 Tv’s mounted throughout our bar with local fans cheering you on. A fun place with good food, good drinks, and good company, all taking place while images of inspiring athletes across all fields are watched from within our walls

Adam & Suz Borowitz: Hospice (no longer a 4-letter word)

Hide Details

What is Hospice Care?
Hospice care is a service for people with serious illnesses who choose not to get (or continue) treatment to cure or control their illness. People may choose to enroll in hospice care if the treatment is unlikely to be effective or if continuing it has become too burdensome. Hospice aims to provide comfort and peace to help improve quality of life for the person nearing death. It also helps family members cope with their loved one’s illness and can also provide support to the family after the person dies, including help with grieving, sometimes called bereavement care. Medicare reimburses for hospice services when a physician determines that a patient has a life-expectancy of 6 months or less.

Many people with a serious illness use hospice care. A serious illness may be defined as a disease or condition with a high risk of death or one that negatively affects a person’s quality of life or ability to perform daily tasks. It may cause symptoms or have treatments that affect daily life and lead to caregiver stress. Examples of serious illnesses include dementia, cancer, heart failure, and chronic obstructive lung disease.
