SHOULD THE READER WANT TO SUGGEST ANY ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS FOR THIS BULLETIN, PLEASE SEND YOUR IDEAS - GO TO LINK, SEND A MESSAGE, NEAR THE TOP OF THIS WEBPAGE.

NOTE: THIS INFORMATION IS NOT INTENDED AS AN ENDORSEMENT OR RECOMMENDATION, AND IS PRESENTED SIMPLY AS A CONVENIENCE TO THE READER. BECAUSE OF THE CHANGING AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, THE COMPLETENESS OF THIS LISTING IS NOT GUARANTEED.

HIRING SOMEONE TO DO ALL YOUR BIG AND SMALL PICKUPS AND DELIVERIES CAN BE A VERY SATISFYING INDEPENDENT LIVING DECISION. BESIDES, HAVING TO CARRY ANYTHING EXTRA WHILE WALKING OR RIDING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SURE IS NO FUN.

ONCE YOU ARE COMFORTABLE MANAGING AN ERRAND SERVICE, THEN YOU MAY FIND OTHER WAYS YOUR DELIVERY PERSON CAN BE OF FURTHER VALUE. EXAMPLES OF ADD-ONS:

1. BRIEF KITCHEN TASK

2. SOME PAPER WORK

3. QUICK CLEANING JOB

4. OTHER PERSONAL ASSISTANCE

SO, IF YOU ARE TIRED OF TOO MANY ON-THE-RUN CHORES, AS WELL AS TOO OFTEN ASKING FAMILY OR FRIENDS FOR HELP, CONSIDER INVESTIGATING:

1. YELLOW PAGES ERRANDS & MISC. SERVICES

2. DIAL 211 COMMUNITY RESOURCES

3. INTERNET ADS ON CRAIGs LIST

4. INDEPENDENT LIVING CENTER REFERRALS

FINALLY, BECAUSE MOST ERRAND RUNNERS ALWAYS HAVE A CELL-PHONE IT IS EASY TO MAKE CHOICES AND ANSWER QUESTIONS WHILE THEY ARE ON-THE-ROAD.

NOTE: WHILE EITHER A HOME CARE WORKER OR A MEDICAL SPECIALIST CAN DO SOME ROUTINE TASKS SUCH AS THE ABOVE, IT WOULD PROBABLY BE MORE ECONOMICAL TO HAVE THEM DONE AFTER A HOME DELIVERY BY YOUR ERRAND SERVICE
