Just wave the card in front of one of the scanners located at either the front desk, or east/west exits. If you swipe your card at one of the exit doors, you do not have to swipe it at the main desk.

SWIPE YOUR CARD

The membership cards keep track of how many members we have as well as how many visits we receive each month. We are required to report these figures each month to the municipality. These records justify our annual budget and funding.

The Monroeville Senior Citizens Center receives grant funding each year. We are rewarded these funds based on our monthly attendance records. These opportunities will not be available, if our attendance records do not show the need!

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU SWIPE YOUR CARD!

 

DONATIONS: The Monroeville Senior Citizens Center is owned and operated by the Municipality of Monroeville. The municipality covers the operational costs of the building. All programming expenses are raised and paid for by the Monroeville Council of Senior Citizens.

Each year the Senior Council works hard to raise funds to offset expenses. These funds have helped pay for the following: Exercise equipment, commercial grade appliances for the kitchen, furniture for the lobby, computers, and movie screen/projector. These funds also offset our entertainment.

Donations can make a big difference. Even the smallest amount can help. The center is a 501 © (3) charitable organization and your donation would be tax-deductible. Please contact the main office if you would like to make a contribution!

SUMMER FITNESS CHALLENGE (Thursday, May 26th – Friday, August 26th)

Don’t decide this is the time to take a summer break from fitness. This challenge will help keep you motivated all summer long. Pick up a punch card in the main office and get started! The more times you participate in a health and fitness related program the more chances you have to win. Each time you attend a fitness related activity you will receive a punch on your card. Once you have all your punches on the card turn it into the main office and receive a raffle ticket that you can enter into any of the fitness Chinese auction boxes in the main lobby. Pick up another card and start again. Drawing will be held on Monday, August 29th.

HOW-TO FITNESS CLINICS

If you are new to fitness or are joining our facility for the first time, you are in the majority. If you are not new to the fitness center and simply would like to break up the monotony of your exercise routine, we are here to help you make this transition by educating you on the many different ways you can improve your overall fitness. In addition to the variety of assessments, orientations, and programming that we offer to you as part of your membership, we are also now holding how-to clinics designed to teach you how to do exercises safely, help you stay motivated, and add more variety to your workout!

“New” Mike @ Night Fitness Talk In honor of Senior Health and Fitness day this month’s clinic is free!

“Growing Stronger” Fitness Clinic Thursday, May 26th 6:15 – 6:45 pm So many people are scared to strength train and just stay on the cardio machines. Weight training balances any workout routine, and actually burns more fat than cardio. Lifting weights also increases power, builds muscles and sculpts the body. So why be scared? Join us and learn the reasons why you should add strength training to your regular routine and learn the basic tips to get you started. Everyone will receive a healthy snack bag. All fitness levels welcome to attend. Instructor: Mike Evans

Pre-registration required. Sign up in the office by Thursday, May 19th

FITNESS CENTER PROGRAMS

in our fitness center. We will be adding agility stations, balance stations, and suggesting new exercises with our existing fitness equipment to ready your muscles for the activities of your daily life.

Join us for our Functional Fitness tours schedules throughout the day on Thursday, May 26th. Can’t make it on that day schedule a free orientation in the main office at your convenience.

Fit Tips from Chris … How are you doing with that New Year, New You resolution you made for yourself a few months ago? If you are like me, it might be time to make over those resolutions and take a fresh new look at your health and wellness goals. The sun is shining longer every day, telling you that it’s time to get ready for vacations, activities with family and friends and of course, swimsuit season. To help you prepare we have made May and June our makeover months here at the center. In an effort to help you “build a better you”, we are adding functional fitness stations in our fitness center, adding a walking club, starting a “Better You” Bootcamp program, scheduling nutritional talks and, starting a “Summer Fitness Challenge”. Remember to be patient. If you took the winter off, don’t expect to reach your fitness goals in a week or two. It’s more important that you enjoy the summer while appreciating the efforts that you’re making. Focus on what you want to accomplish daily in your physical activity and the results will follow. Getting fit takes time and with commitment, you will reach your goals!

SMALL GROUP PERSONAL TRAINING Small group training is an affordable option for receiving a great workout, professional and

personalized attention, and the motivation of exercising with friends. You and up to 3 others will participate in a twice a week training program working to reach your fitness goals!

$512 for 8 weeks (16 sessions) - $128 per person due at time of registration That’s only $8 per person/per session!

Each program session will include a 10 minute warm-up and cardio, 15 minutes of Strength Training, and 15 minutes of balance and cool-down stretching. The Level 2 Group is for individuals who have taken the Level 1 class and want to continue to build their balance skills.

Each individual will receive a pre/post program balance assessment, a guided fitness room orientation, and Fall Prevention Strategies and information. Participants will work in small groups to meet their individual’s goals. All fitness levels are welcome.

NUTRITION KITCHEN with Sue Lomeo, RD, LDN 

Farmer’s Market Season Tis the season to go organic! The farmer’s markets will be opening soon. It’s easy to find fresh, nutrient bursting, energy rich fruits and vegetables from local farms. “Organic foods of intention support our health. Processed foods of invention support our healthcare industry”, Felicity Luckey. Monroeville hosts a Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings, beginning May 7th, from 9:00-Noon. There is a great selection of fruits, vegetables, eggs, meats, honey and other goodies. Because being certified as an organic farm can be expensive, some small farms opt out but still follow organic guidelines. Talk to the farmers and ask how their food is grown—many will meet and even exceed the organic standards. Going all Organic can be expensive for those on a tight budget. Some produce holds more pesticide residue than others. The Environmental Working Group puts out a shopping list every year listing the “Dirty Dozen” and the “Clean 15”. The dirty 12+ tend to hold more pesticide residue so buy organic. The Clean 15—buy non-organic with confidence! For your own copy visit: www.ewg.org/foodnews

WHITE BEAN SALAD with Asparagus

10-12 asparagus stalks, tough ends removed 1 can white beans, drained and rinsed 1 orange bell pepper, seeded and chopped ½ cup finely chopped red onion 2 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 1 tsp. Dijon mustard Salt and pepper to taste 1 cup leafy salad greens

Cut asparagus into 1 inch pieces. Roast in oven set at 400 for up to 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool. In large bowl combine beans, pepper, and red onion. Gently toss in asparagus.

Tuesday, May 17th – The Big Short When four outsiders see what the big banks, media and government refuse to see, the global collapse of the economy, they have an idea: The Big Short. Their bold investment leads them into the dark underbelly of modern banking where they must question everyone and everything. Based on the book by Michael Lewis. Rated: R Starring: Brad Bitt, Ryan Gosling, and Christian Bale 2 hrs. 10 mins.

Tuesday, June 21st - Spotlight When newly appointed editor Marty Baron arrives from Miami to take charge, he immediately directs the Spotlight team to follow up on a column about a local priest accused of having sexually abused dozens of young parishioners over the course of 30 years. Fully aware that taking on the Catholic Church in Boston will have major ramifications, Spotlight editor Walter "Robby" Robinson, reporters Sacha Pfeiffer and Michael Rezendes, and researcher Matt Carroll begin delving more deeply into the case. As they confer with victims' attorney Mitchell Garabedian, interview adults who were molested as children, and pursue the release of sealed court records, it becomes clear that the Church's systematic protection of predatory priests is far more wide-reaching than any of them ever imagined. The Globe publishes its blockbuster exposé in January 2002, leading the way for similar revelations in more than 200 other cities around the world. Rated: R (Sexual Language) 2 hrs. Starring: Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Rachel Adams, and Liv Schreiber

National Senior Health & Fitness Day Thursday, May 26th

Join us as we celebrate Senior Health and Fitness Day. At the center health and wellness programs are an integral part of what we offer daily to keep our community active and strong!

All fitness classes will be free…

Silver&Fit program, 9am… Open to everyone!

Get “Back” in Shape Seminar, 10:00 am Dr. Nicholas Gresock DC will be here to help you get educated on the differences between a healthy back and an aching one. What causes lower back pain? Learn tips and exercises to reduce your risk of injury and pain. Free yogurt bar with all the topping afterwards. Pre-registration required. Sign up by Thursday, May 19th

Check out the “NEW” Functional Fitness Stations in the Fitness Center. Tours at 11am, 1pm, and 5 pm

Mike @ Night Fitness Talk, “Growing Stronger”, 6:15 pm So many people are scared to strength train and just stay on the cardio machines. Weight training balances any workout routine, and actually burns more fat than cardio. Lifting weights also increases power, builds muscles and sculpts the body. So why be scared? Join us and learn the reasons why you should add strength training to your regular routine and learn the basic tips to get you started. Everyone will receive a healthy snack bag. Pre-registration required. Sign up by Thursday, May 19th
