Here are some ways to get your year off to a fun start:

Laughter yoga. We could all use a good laugh these days. Why not turn that laughter into some exercise? By combining laughter and yoga breathing, you can get more oxygen in your body, giving you more energy. All you need is a chair—no yoga mat required. One participant will get a raffle prize. This free Zoom class on Jan. 26 at 2 p.m. is sponsored by Monarch and SCAN’s Independence at Home. No RSVP required. The Zoom meeting ID is 993 4902 4692, and the passcode is Monarch.

COVID safety kit. The pandemic isn’t going away any time soon, so take some extra precautions with the help of Monarch and Aetna. The Health Care Center will be handing out free COVID safety kits to all residents outside Conference Room 1 on Jan. 18 from 9 a.m.-11 a.m. And to sweeten the deal, they’re also including a dessert with each kit. To RSVP, email Grecia at gnunez@mhealth. com or call (949) 923-3334. Leave your name, phone number and the event name: “COVID safety kit.” RSVP no later than Jan. 15. Masks are required at pickup.

HCC tours. Get a look at the new HCC. Open to all residents, each tour has limited spots available. They will begin outside the front entrance of the HCC at 1 and 3 p.m. on Jan. 20, Feb. 3 and Feb. 17. RSVP by calling Grecia at the number above and leaving your name, phone number, desired time slot and the event name (“HCC tour”). Masks are required.
