This is a friendly reminder that our Healing Power of Sound & Breathwork session with Michelle Sutton is coming up on June 23rd from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM. We still have a few spots available if you’d like to join us for this restorative experience.
In this workshop, you will reconnect with your inner calm as you explore gentle breathing techniques designed to soothe the nervous system, release physical and emotional tension, and foster a deeper sense of grounding, clarity, and balance. Participants often leave feeling lighter, more centered, and rejuvenated.
Please remember to bring a yoga mat, a pillow, and a blanket. If you prefer not to lie down, the entire practice can also be done comfortably from a chair.
To RSVP call 774-801-8119.

We’re excited to introduce a new veteran-focused initiative in Wellfleet, created through a partnership between the VA, the Wellfleet Police Department, and the Wellfleet Adult Community Center. This collaborative effort aims to better connect veterans, their families, and the wider community with important benefits, resources, and one another. Many available veteran benefits go unknown and unused—this series is designed to help change that.
Our first event, "Coffee with a Vet and a Cop", will be held on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, from 9:00 am to 10:00 am at the Wellfleet Senior Center. Join us for coffee and casual conversation with Rachel Bunce, Wellfleet Police Officer and Coast Guard Reservist, and Adam Doerfler, Veterans Outreach Program Specialist at the Cape Cod Vet Center and Marine Corps Veteran.
This welcoming, drop-in event offers the opportunity to:
Learn about federal, state, and nonprofit veteran benefits and programs
Connect with local veterans, families, and community partners
Discuss community concerns, resources, and support
Enjoy relaxed, pressure-free conversation—no speeches or appointments
This is the first in a continuing series. As the initiative grows, we hope to work with community members to host more veteran-centered activities. If you have ideas about how we can best support our veterans and their families, we’d love to hear them.
We hope to see you there!

**SCAM ALERT**

The police department has seen an increase in residents calling to report being the victim of fraud or a scam. Please see below some helpful tips from the Federal Trade Commission to avoid becoming a victim and remember never give out your personal information to anyone you don't know.

1. Keep your personal information to yourself. In the past five years, millions of Americans have been victims of identity theft, including many students. Protect your passwords, guard your credit card number, shred sensitive paperwork, and don’t leave your mail where it might tempt a potential identity thief.

2. Socialize safely online. When using social networking sites, keep your business your business. Update your privacy settings to restrict access to people you trust. Post only information you’re comfortable with the whole world knowing, because once it’s posted, you can’t take it back. Nobody wants to be known as the TMI type, so don’t post your Social Security number or financial information. And use caution when sharing details about where you work, where you hang out, and what’s going on with you and your friends.

3. Consider the National Do Not Call Registry. As hard as it may be for your parents to believe, there may be times when you don’t want to be on the phone — especially when the caller is a stranger trying to sell you something. Visit donotcall.gov and register your phone number with the National Do Not Call Registry.

4. Stay away from “guarantees” of scholarships. Reputable groups don’t charge for information about scholarships. Steer clear of anyone “guaranteeing” you financial aid for college or vocational school — especially if they insist you pay them for the information first.

5. Understand credit. Credit is more than just a plastic card; it’s your financial future. Before you sign on the dotted line, make sure you speak credit.” That “permanent record” your teachers always warned you about? It’s called a credit report. Late payments now will come back to haunt you when you try to buy a car, get an apartment, or even land a job. Once you’ve established credit, get a free copy of your credit report at annualcreditreport.com. Watch out for lookalike sites that make it sound like they’re free, but then hit you up for monthly fees.

6. Travel scams turn summer breaks into summer busts. Who doesn’t dream of spending a vacation relaxing in the sun or snowboarding on some mountain? Be aware that scam artists target students who are looking for low-cost vacations. Before you show up at the airport with your sunscreen, review the tour package carefully and investigate the operator. Check out more travel tips.

7. Phishing scams reel in personal information. You’ve gotten emails claiming to be from your bank or ISP asking you to “verify” your credit card or checking account number. They’re from fraudsters phishing for your information. Never give out your personal information in response to an email. When in doubt, check it out by calling the company directly. Visit onguardonline.gov to learn more.

8. Some employment services are scams. Bona fide job placement services can help launch you in the career of your dreams. But bogus companies can scam you out of your money. Before paying any money to someone offering to help you land a job, check out who you’re doing business. Learn what you should know when you're looking for a job.
