Ride the 'State Fairgrounds Carousel'
again ...

This time it's for the benefit of the Como Park/Falcon Heights Living at Home/Block Nurse Program.

Place: Como Park, St. Paul

Time: 6:00 - 8:00 pm

Lemonade and cookies will be served. Come any time between 6 and 8.

The big carousel that used to be at the State Fairgrounds and is now located at Como Park just south of the conservatory.

Although rides are free, we are hoping that each person who rides will give a donation to the Block Nurse Program in exchange for the ride. There will also be a raffle of various gift certificates and other items, plus a silent auction of various gift baskets (for sure a basket with dog goodies, a flower pot with garden tools, a children’s book bag with goodies, and a golf goodie bag).

Since a lot of state and county funding has been cut to nonprofits, this is one of the bigger fund-raisers of the year. The Block Nurse Program for the Como Park area provides nursing care and volunteer services (rides to the doctor, companionship, cleaning, gardening, etc.) to seniors who live in a specific geographic area around Como Park. Depending on the services, there is a sliding fee scale, Medicare, private insurance, Medicaid, or no fee for the help that is provided to help seniors stay in their homes as long as they can. There are 43 Block Nurse Programs in the state of Minnesota, 11 of which are in the city of St. Paul.

For more information, contact Jody McCardle at the Block Nurse Program at 651-642-1127.
