HEALTH AND WELLNESS LECTURE Dr. Mariatu Koroma-Nelson,

Medical Director, will be the featured

speaker at this month’s Health and

Wellness Lecture Series. Dr. Koroma-

Nelson will speak on Integrative

Medicine. Integrative Medicine is an

approach to care that puts the patient at

the center and addresses the full range

of physical, emotional, mental, social,

spiritual and environmental influences

that affect a person’s health. This

approach encompasses both

conventional and alternative

therapies. Please join us in the

Auditorium A on Friday, July 27 at

1:30 p.m. for this interesting topic.

NUTSHELL REVISITED

By popular demand, Jay

Warshawsky will repeat his review of

Nutshell by Ian

McEwan on

Tuesday, July

24, at 3:00 p.m.

in Auditorium

AB. The book,

according to

Jay, is a clever

contemporary

version of

Shakespeare’s

Hamlet.

The narrator is an unborn baby who

overhears his mother and her brother-

in-law as they plot to kill his father and

take over ownership of the father’s

dilapidated but valuable London

house. From his confined location

within his mother’s womb, the baby

attempts to thwart these actions.

McEwan’s story elaborates on

Shakespeare’s sequence, and its ending

becomes something of a cliffhanger.

Jay Warshawsky and his wife Carole

Pollner have lived in Goodwin House

since 2016. Jay is a Chicago native

and a lifelong fan of the Cubs. He

studied electrical engineering at

Illinois Tech, Purdue, and

Northwestern, and has had a career in

research and development.

ITALIAN FILM UPCOMING As usual, the next Foreign Film

Night is the last Sunday of the month,

Sunday, July 29, at 6:30 p.m. in the

auditorium. The selection is a 2006

Italian film called "Golden Door"

which takes

place in the

early part of the

20th Century

and depicts a

poor Italian

family as they

undertake the

arduous journey

to the United

States via

steerage across

the Atlantic, then encounter the entry

procedures at Ellis Island - which

could be welcoming or not so

welcoming. As we all know too well,

these days immigration is very much

in the news, and this film reminds us

of how immigration back then differs

from our current troubled times. A

discussion will follow the

screening. The Russian film "Burnt by

the Sun", originally scheduled for July,

will be shown at a later date.

COMPUTER CENTER Do you ever need to look something

up online

and don’t

have a

computer,

or do you

need to

have

something

printed? Did you know that GHA has

a Computer Center? Located on the

G1 level, just across from the pool.

The Computer Center has four desktop

computers and one printer. It is open

24 hours a day.

EBI SUPPORT GROUP Support Groups are formed so

individuals who have a shared

experience can express their feelings,

gain mutual support and discuss

coping strategies. As the months pass

and the construction continues at

GHA, we thought it might be helpful

to have a place to discuss how we are

coping. Please join Monica Thomas

on Tuesday July 24 from 1:30 p.m. to

2:30 p.m. in Auditorium A.

TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR BONE HEALTH Osteoporosis is the general loss of

bone mass. As a person ages, the bone

does not continue to build bone

mass. Therefore, to continue with

good bone mass YOU have to take

steps.

What can you do to have good bone

health?

Exercise daily — to improve the

strength of muscles but also to help

increase the density and mass of

your bones. Participate in weight-

bearing activities to help stimulate

bone growth, which slows the

progression of osteoporosis. Some

appropriate exercises are walking,

running, dancing, strength training,

and stair climbing.

Join a fitness class! Fun and Fitness,

Tai Chi, Core and Balance, Yoga,

and Line Dancing are fun classes

that can help build and maintain

bone mass.

Eat a diet that contains nutrients

that help promote good bones, such

as fish, leafy greens, poultry, dairy

products, and nuts.

Taking care of your bones is very

important. Be sure to exercise more

and eat healthier to maintain the health

of your bones.

FROM THE MARKETING & SALES TEAM TO ALL GHA RESIDENTS – THANK YOU! Our most grateful thanks go to all

our residents who supported the Living

Comfortably event last Saturday. Our

community welcomed 175 guests who

are exploring life plan communities for

their futures.

We appreciate your understanding

that we need to catch up on Open

Houses after construction delays.

Events contribute vitally to occupancy,

and we have been unable to hold any

at GHA for over a year.

We hope everyone noticed the

significant clean-up at GHA this past

week to make your home more

attractive – even during construction –

and a more inviting community for

those considering GHA. It’s also

important to note the work of the

Resident Grounds Committee reflected

in the colorful annuals at our two

entrance signs and the beds of annuals

planted on the large bank of ground as

you come up Fillmore Avenue.

We offer a very special thanks to our

resident volunteers for the event:

Greeters and hallway guides:

Rosie Robbins + Anne Kress + Bobbie

Whittier + Joan McCulla + Betty

Wallace + Robin Barbee

Residents whose homes were open to tours for guests to “oooh and

ahhh”:

John and Khacki Berry + Betty

Cranwell + Betsy Raymond + Gwen

Scheffel + Helene Schrott + Tom

Sproull + and soon-to-be residents

John and Judith Roach (Apt. 104)

Residents who participated on the

resident panel discussion:

Judy Andrews and Dan Botticello

(GHA residents)

Judith Roach (Judith and her husband,

John, who move into GHA July 24)

Nancy Randolph (GHBC resident – as

this was a joint marketing event for

GHA and Goodwin House Bailey’s

Crossroads)

We also are deeply thankful for all

our residents for welcoming our

guests. Our future occupancy depends

on older adults joining GHA, and

events like the one on Saturday are a

primary source of new residents.

With our heartfelt gratitude —

The Marketing & Sales Team
