Dear friends,During a recent discussion about our new Early Memory Loss program, I was asked what we do to helppeople before they get to that “stage”. My response – “everything we do here helps people to prolongtheir independence and postpones signs of decline.” I have attended countless presentations by physicians and other experts in the aging field since I have been here at the Senior Center. They allencourage socialization, mental stimulation, healthy lifestyles, but, without exception, exercise makes thebiggest difference as we age.

Exercise is the best thing you can do for cognitive and physical health. Improving circulation – gettingyour blood flowing – is good for the heart and the brain. We provide opportunities here at the Center forevery level of ability. I try to stress with new members, you work to your level of ability – in whateverclass or activity you enjoy. We are so fortunate to have a variety of options from jazzercise, Pilates andyoga to the fitness center and the therapeutic pool.

Genevieve Gore was instrumental in providing a pool when the Center was built in 1996. She said shehoped for a “place to renew relationships and forge new friendships, a refuge where mind as well as bodyis nourished.” I think that is one of the most wonderful things about the Center. It has evolved into morethan just a place to exercise. It is a wonderful place where people gather and truly care for and supportone another.

Even if you don’t typically come to the Center to exercise, I encourage you to take the long way to theparking lot or enjoy the spacious hallways and lobby area to add more steps to your day.

I wish you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year.

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as thougheverything is a miracle.” ~Albert Einstein

ATTenTIon MeMberS: Are you a senior with aspare room in your home? Could you use extraincome? Consider renting out a room to anothersenior! The decline of affordable housing optionsfor seniors leaves many of them looking for roomsto rent. Renting out a spare room provides you withincome and your tenant with affordable housing. Itcan make good financial sense. You may advertise Rooms for Rent on our bulletinboard located near the kitchen. Or advertise if youneed a room to rent. Leave your advertisement atthe Reception Desk for it to be posted.The NSC is making this available as a resource tomembers. The NSC bears no responsibility for anyrental arrangement.

Both are simple tomake and happen outside probate.

If a class is cancelled and you are not registered,we can’t call you to notify you of the cancellation.Then you come to the Center and are disappointedthat you have made the trip for a cancelled class. 3. Instructors will often ask us for a number of registrations. This helps them to prepare for theclass and make the appropriate number of handouts.4. Room assignments might be able to be adjusted toaccommodate a smaller or larger group, but this toodepends on the number of registrations. Please help us to help you and register at the
