Raul's OTHER New Wheels

To contact us Click HERE
Through the help of some wonderful friends, and Raul's PT, Raul has been given a loaner power chair by Permobil. Permobil, along with the vendor, are working on getting him a more permanent chair (either new, or a donated demo chair), but for now, this is working great! Raul loves his chair! He is able to move it himself now, but has not mastered steering yet! Today he drove it over to the other building in our compound to pick up a package, and he actually did the straightaway by himself with me just walking next to him! I think it will take him a while to figure out steering, as we can't just explain it to him as you might with some kids, but he will get it! He cries every time he has to get out of his chair; he LOVES his new wheels!

Wednesday's General Meeting

To contact us Click HERE
Join us at the general meeting Wednesday, September 21th presentation by Maryhelen Shuman-Groh: Dive Travel and Sustainability.

The divers’ adage of “Take only photos - Leave only bubbles” is no longer enough to ensure sustainability of our precious water resources. While no one can completely eliminate human impacts on the dive environment, there choices that you make to help reduce negative impacts when traveling.

Aquacenter's Frozen Turkeys Treasure Hunt Dive

To contact us Click HERE
This Sunday the Aquacenter Dive shop in Sandwich, MA will be having the treasure hunt at Sandwich Town Beach at 10:00 AM. The fee is $20.00, and all monies collected will be donated to the Sandwich Food Pantry

Food donations (canned, non-perishable) are welcome as well. Post-dive hot chili and ice cream will be served for all divers at Aqua Center, and also for anyone wishing to stay dry but still willing to donate $20.00.

There is a huge list of prizes, and everyone should go home with something.

The shop opens at 9:00 AM, the dive is at 11:00 AM, with the rising full moon tide high at 12:24 PM. You may register anytime between now and when we run out of food on Sunday, but you have to have your money in before the dive if you want to hunt and win prizes.

For details call the shop at 508-888-3444, or send e-mail to aquacenter@aquacenter.com

Beads of Courage

To contact us Click HERE
Raul is now part of the Beads of Courage program. This program gives children and families a tangible way to show what they have been through on their medical journey. Each bead stands for an event, test, appointment, etc. Since our hospitals do not have the actual program, Raul is part of the "Beads from a Distance Program". His first strand of beads is to catch up on his life so far. Each of the large beads stands for 100 of something. The beads show how much Raul has been through, and the courage he has shown!
