Serving the Klamath Community through Meals on Wheels
A knock at the door might not seem like a big deal to many of us. But, to a homebound senior, it could signal the arrival of the only person they might see all day or all week long. It brings hope. It brings health. It brings the nutrition and care that will completely make their day. We can’t do it alone. It takes all of us to keep the meals on wheels movement going. Call the Senior Center at 541-883-7171 to become a volunteer today!
If you or someone you know is in need of Meals on Wheels, please register with the Klamath Lake Counties Council on Aging by calling 541-205-5400.

Lunch n LearnUrine Luck – Talk to the Experts About Bladder HealthWe’re excited to announce an informative presentation TOMORROW, Tuesday, October 8th from 10:30 am – 11:00 am featuring Mattea Colahan, PT, DPT, WCS and Maureen Somers, PT from Sky Lakes Rehabilitation Services. These experienced physical therapists will cover a range of important topics related to bladder health—a subject that affects many but isn’t often discussed openly.During the presentation, Mattea and Maureen will tackle common questions like, “What causes urinary tract infections (UTIs)?” and “Do men get UTIs?” They will also dispel some myths surrounding UTIs, helping you understand the real facts behind this common condition. You’ll learn about the symptoms to watch out for and, mostimportantly, ways to prevent UTIs in the future.In addition to UTIs, the presentation will also address why some people experience bladder leaks or “accidents.” You’ll hear about what can contribute to these issues and discover practical strategies to prevent accidents and improve bladder control. Mattea and Maureen will offer expert advice, making this a valuable session for anyone looking to better understand their bladder health.Don’t miss this opportunity to ask questions and get tips on improving your quality of life. We look forward to seeing you there! Please arrive 10-15 minutes early so we can start the workshop on time. While registration for Learn’n’Lunches is not required, it is highly recommended.
