A Gift of Time hosts open house, ribbon cutting
Ready to serve
A Gift of Time Georgetown welcomed about 50 supporters and visitors to its open house and ribbon cutting September 29. To better serve clients, earlier this year A Gift of Time moved from downtown to a larger facility at the Getsemani Center, located at Church and 19th streets.
“We eventually want to open an adult day center,” Executive Director Becky Folta-May said. “That’s a few years down the line. In the meantime, we’re looking for community support.”
A Gift of Time offers live and online programs for those with mild to moderate dementia and their caregivers. They provide activities and information about community resources.
“A Gift of Time’s been around for about five years,” Ms. Folta- May said. “We had a little bit of a lull during Covid but we’re coming back stronger than ever.”
Open house visitors could sign up as volunteers for activities and programs, such as the twice-monthly Camille’s Memory Café.
“I want to volunteer, especially at the memory café that they have,” Lisa Krynine of Round Rock said.
Georgetown Chamber of Commerce members were also present, helping A Gift of Time celebrate its new headquarters.
“We’re so appreciative to have you as a member,” Chamber President and CEO Shontel Mays said. “We’re so happy for your success and want you to have more.”
Wildfire restaurant, Kork Wine Bar, Mutz & Kutz Grooming, Midas and the Williamson County Sun donated door prizes for the event.
The next live Camille’s Memory Café is scheduled for October 21 from 10 a.m. to noon, when Simple Sparrow Care Farm in Hutto will bring rabbits and other animals to the Georgetown Public Library.
To sign up for any of the Camille’s Memory Café programs or the Living Well with Dementia education series go to education@agiftoftimegeorgetown.org or call Ms. Folta-May at 512-489-0160.
