McMinnville Senior Center Newsletter April 2018
Living the Lifestyle
Emotional and Mental Vitality Let’s face it: Most of us won’t be signing up to run a marathon or participate in a triathlon any time soon. The
older we get, the less likely our bodies are to handle some of the physical activity we could do as a youngster
or young adult. But don’t let that get you down. Replace the “lost” activity with something else that combines
social and physical exertion. According to WebMD.com, that’s the best way to help you keep a positive atti-
tude and sense of well-being given that emotional and mental vitality are closely tied to physical vitality.
Social contact plays a big factor in a person’s happiness. The McMinnville Senior Center offers programs that
encourage health and independence through innovative recreational, educational, health and wellness pro-
grams. The McMinnville Senior Center offers a full calendar of activities and social programs.
Here are some tips, offered by WebMD.com, to help you protect or improve your physical, social and mental
activities.
Physical activity: It is important to have some kind of physical activity
in your regular routine to protect or improve your emotional and cognitive
health. The McMinnville Senior Center offers recreation programming as
well as wellness, fitness and balance classes that fulfill this important key to
happiness. If your favorite activity was dancing but you can no longer do it,
WebMD.com suggests trying water aerobics. The McMinnville Aquatic Cen-
ter has a variety of water exercise opportunities you are encouraged to ex-
plore.
Social activity: Stay in touch with family and friends. Invite your loved
ones to participate in some of your community’s activities or have them join
you for a meal at the Wortman Park Café at the McMinnville Senior Center. For
those friends and family members who are farther away, set up regular times
to chat via email. Need some help with the computer? Take a computer class
at the McMinnville Senior Center. Another great way to increase your social
opportunities is by volunteering. Talk to a McMinnville Senior Center staff
member to find out how you can help. Older adults who regularly volunteer
generally have a greater sense of well-being than those who don’t, according
to WebMD.com.
Mental activity: Challenging your intellect on a daily basis will help you stay sharp.
Take advantage of the classes and programs at the McMinnville Senior Center to stimulate
mental activity. Or, grab a book from the McMinnville Senior Center’s well-stocked library and
discuss its contents with a small group of friends. Just like an active body, an active brain con-
tinues to thrive.
The McMinnville Senior Center strives to provide opportunities for physical, mental, spiritual,
emotional and cultural engagement in an effort to enhance the lives of guests that participate
in programs offered by the Center.

Day Trips “The Shadow” Radio Show
Arguably the most famous introduction to a
radio show ever – “Who knows what evil lurks
in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!” –
launches Radio Redux’s recreation of a “The
Shadow” crime mystery drama. The radio
show’s famous introduction is now part of the
American idiom, as is the closing line, “The
weed of crime bears bitter fruit! Crime does
not pay…The Shadow knows!” Both will occur
in an episode titled “The Gibbering Things” in
which The Shadow battles a bevy of evil crea-
tures. Also on the program is the charming
radio classic, “My Client, Curley,” concerning
a dancing caterpillar named Curly who be-
comes an international show biz sensation
before nature intervenes. Lunch prior to the
show at Oregon Electric Station.
