Dear Friends, My first 3 months at the Tuscarawas County Senior Center have been exciting and

rewarding, I have learned a great deal about the Senior Center and I have met many

wonderful members at the Dover site as well as the five (5) satellites. It has been a

pleasure getting to know the staff that work for all the Centers and learning about the

many programs and services we offer. I want to acknowledge the dedicated staff that go

above and beyond to ensure our Centers are offering quality food, programs and

services for the members.

With a new executive director comes changes. Some changes will be only recognized by the staff but you

as a member may begin to notice some changes as well. In the next few weeks, you will see painters,

repairmen, carpet & floor installers, and a company stripping and waxing our floors. We are preparing

for our 15th anniversary in this facility and its time we reinvest back into the building for our members to

enjoy. Please have patience with us as we continue operations during our time of updating, cleaning and

painting. We have work to do and its our goal to keep the disruption of services to a minimum. Please

understand we will close all rooms in the basement on a Friday, signs will be posted with the date, in

order to get the fitness equipment moved to strip and wax all of the basement floors as well as painting

the rooms and hallways in the basement. We will also close the BINGO room for 1 day to install new

carpet. Again, signs will be posted with the exact dates for your information.

An additional change for 2020 will be the combining of the Volunteer Breakfast and the Virginia Kane Hall

of Fame Fall Gala. We would like to recognize all of our volunteers at the same time and at the same event

which will be on Friday October 23, 2020 from 11:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Please mark your calendars to

attend the Virginia Kane Hall of Fame & Volunteer Appreciation Gala. Tickets will be $10.00, same as

previous years, and our volunteer and Hall of Fame Nominees will receive 2 complimentary tickets, one

for the nominee and one for a guest. Stay tuned for more information to come soon.

Many of you have asked and I am excited to share that the Tuscarawas County Senior Center will be

getting a new parking lot thanks to the Reeves Foundation and their generous donation of $187,000. The

Senior Center Board of Directors approved the use of $50,000 to complete the project. A committee will

be created to begin working on the project. At this point, we do not have an estimated completion date

but I will keep you informed as we move through the process.

Finally, I want to share that the Tuscarawas County Senior Center will be celebrating 15 years in this

facility. We will host an open house on Saturday August 1, 2020 from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. We will

have food, fun activities, tours, and expo tables to advertise all of the programs and services we offer.

More information will be in the July/August/September newsletter.

Have a wonderful spring!

The Tuscarawas County Senior Center will partner with the U.S. Census

Bureau to provide access to our computer lab to complete the 2020 Census

questionnaire which consists of 9 questions. The questionnaire will be

mailed to all U.S. households after April 1. It is vital that our community

participate in the census count as it determines how billions of dollars are

allocated every year to health clinics, schools, affordable housing and

hundreds of other critical services and programs that make a difference in

our lives every day. Contact Carla Mayfield with questions. A Census

information table will be set up at the Breakfast w/ the Easter Bunny event

here at the Center on Saturday, April 4th, 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.

Cathi Swiney, RN is the new Social Services Coordinator here at

the Tuscarawas County Senior Center. She has been a nurse for

18 years and has worked in various specialties such as

Obstetrics, Pain Management, Ambulatory Surgery, PACU,

Endoscopy and as a Home Healthcare Supervisor. Providing

empathetic care and making a positive difference for others are what drives

her passion for nursing. Outside of work she enjoys spending quality time

with her family and spending time in nature camping, hiking and taking

Tuscarawas County and promoting wellness in the community.

HEALTH TIP

Coronavirus COVID-19 is in the news. Here is

some information that may help you better

understand the important facts regarding this

virus. The Coronavirus is a respiratory illness

that can produce symptoms such as but not

limited to fever, cough, and shortness of

breath. Older adults and those that are

immune compromised are at a higher risk of

contracting the virus. The virus is thought to

spread via respiratory droplets such as when

an infected person coughs or sneezes. The

best way we can prevent spreading this virus

is taking measures such as frequent hand

washing, avoiding contact with anyone who

has become ill. Avoiding touching your eyes,

nose and mouth. If you become ill you should

stay home. Cover your cough or sneeze in

the bend of your arm (not your hand). Clean

and disinfect frequently touched objects and

surfaces. Call your family physician to notify

them of your symptoms and follow their

advice. Together we can be diligent and take

the appropriate measures to avoid contracting

or spreading this virus.
