“Story Time with a Soccer Ball” has your child singing songs, playing games and going on adventures! They play with their
teammates and their new friend, Bob the Bobcat (our super-cute yellow soccer balls) during their session each week. We
are sure that you’re little one will be kicking and doing moves all over your house in no time. They will be one step closer to
scoring goals, but most importantly, building confidence and promoting sportsmanship! Check out the HappyFeet Soccer

Learning About Allergies
Safety in the Home
The Allergy Advocacy Association will be presenting a free
informational session. They will provide you with an evidencebased approach to identifying, diagnosing, assessing and
managing anaphylaxis in order to prevent death from severe
allergy reactions. Throughout the presentation, they will
allow time to answer all questions. Your presenter will be Dr.
Theresa Bingemann, a board-certified allergist who joined
the Division of Allergy, Immunology and Rheumatology at
Rochester General Health in September, 2006. She has
published important research papers and received awards
at the American College of Allergy and Immunology.
Information from the National Institute on Health (and other
sources) will be shared about the incidence of falls, the
most common reasons for falls and how to best get up; the
warning signs of stroke and what percentage of folks get
help in time for a full recovery; diabetes and how it might lead
to a need for immediate help. In addition, some of the new
and interesting devices in personal emergency response
systems (like the ads on TV where the lady has fallen and
can’t get up) will be shown and it will be explained just how
they work. It’s a serious topic, but there’s fun to be had
during this presentation!
