May is Older American’s Month Every May, the Administration on Aging, part of the Administration for Community Living, leads our nation’s observance of Older American’s Month. The theme for 2018 is Engage at Every Age, which emphasizes that you are never too old (or too young) to take part in activities that can enrich your physical, mental and emotional well-being and celebrates the many ways older adults make a difference in our communities. Participating in activities that promote mental and physical wellness, offering your wisdom and experience to the next generation, seeking the mentorship of someone with more life experience than you—those are just a few examples of what being engaged can mean. Seven Oaks offers many ways to Engage at Every Age. No matter where you are in your life, there is no better time than now to start. We hope you will join in and Engage at Every Age!

Consider Serving On Your Center’s Board If you are interested in serving on the executive board please see someone on the nominating committee (Betsy, Evelyn or Paul) or see staff for more information. Term: June 2018 - May 2019. You would be required to attend monthly board meetings and bi-monthly council meetings. Job descriptions of each position are available in the lobby. You do not need prior experience serving on a board, just a love of your senior center.

Father’s Day Lunch - June 15 at 12:45 pm Our Father’s Day Lunch will be held Friday, June 15 and the $5 tickets go on sale Mon, May 14. John Hadfield has a fantastic comedy show for adults that combines nostalgic and original funny songs, robots, magic, juggling, audience participation, whoopee cushion percussion, and a lovable performing dog named Reggie - who steals every show and the audience members’ hearts. Lunch catered by Bear Bros. On the menu: Hot Roast Beef and Gravy, potatoes, vegetables and bread and butter.

Change Coming to Class Registration Process In an effort to meet the needs of all of our members and to have a fair process for signing up for classes we are implementing yet another change for the classes that fill quickly. On the first day of registration, June 12, if you are signing up for Strength Training, Core N’ More (all 3 classes) or Enhanced Fitness you will need to choose which class is your priority and get in line for that class for an envelope. Once you get an envelope you are welcome to get in line for another one of those classes. In addition, you can no longer sign up someone else. If you can’t come that day please send someone to sign you up who is not is the class. It doesn’t have to be a member who signs you up. This change is only for the five classes mentioned above.

Senior Center Membership Survey Every three years, the Department of Aging conducts a member satisfaction survey. This survey provides important feedback regarding members’ likes and dislikes and new program and service ideas. It also provides quantifiable data on the impact senior center programs have on participants – an important measure to use for funding applications. To complete a survey online, visit www.baltimorecountymd.gov/seniorcenters. Paper copies of the survey are also available at the front desk. The surveys are completely anonymous. Surveys will be accepted until May 31, 2018, and results will be available in early July. If you have any questions about the survey, please call 410-887-2040 or ask center staff.

The Seven Oaks Executive Board are center members who are elected by the center council/membership to hold office and make decisions on behalf of the membership. The center

council and executive board work to assist staff in accomplishing the center’s mission.

Seven Oaks Mission The purpose and mission of Seven Oaks

Senior Center is to provide a progressive and safe environment where seniors can find

the opportunity to maintain healthy, active living. Services and assistance are available to

the Perry Hall, White Marsh & surrounding communities, meeting the needs of

the senior individual and their family.

BCDA Mission The Baltimore County Department of Aging

strengthens lives by providing services, programs and connections to resources.

It is the policy of the Baltimore County Department of Aging that all people who attend classes or programs at the senior center must register as a member each year.

Baltimore County Department of Aging is an equal opportunity service agency.

Minutes from the board and council meetings are posted on the bulletin board in the MPR and also available online at SevenOaksSeniors.org. The financial report is posted in the MPR.

Center Membership and Registration Senior Center membership is free and granted to Baltimore County residents 60 years of age and

older and their spouse (spouse can be under 60 years of age). Non-county residents are also eligible to register as members of the center. Members must be able to function in the center without one-on-one assistance from staff and be able to move independently (with or without

assistive devices) within the center. Individuals participating in more than one center must register at each center independently. See staff for a full list of rules of participation.

Bi-Monthly Council/Membership Meetings If you’re a member of Seven Oaks then you’re a member of the Council! Every other month we hold

a membership meeting to discuss the business of the center and vote on financial matters. A lunch is served at noon and the meeting starts at 12:30 p.m. Members are highly

encouraged to attend these meetings and to help shape the future of the center and we give away a $50 gift card at each meeting! Have an idea or suggestion?

Maryland Access Point ( MAP) of Baltimore County is part of a nationwide effort to streamline access to support, services and benefits to older adults, persons with disabilities, their families and care providers.

Center Connection links persons age 60 and over who need support to activities and services provided by the senior center. Center Connection Specialists, operating in eight Baltimore County Senior Centers, maximize individual’s senior center experience by encouraging participation in activities, registering for classes/Eating Together, and connecting them with other members.

This program connects Baltimore County residents age 60+ to community resources. Outreach workers evaluate seniors’ needs, assist with applying for benefits and services, and connect seniors to resources.

CountyRide provides paratransit transportation within the County for qualifying clients to appointments Monday through Friday. Reservations must be prescheduled and are scheduled on a first come, first serve basis. A book of 6 tickets costs $15. Payment by check or exact amount of cash (No change available in vehicles.)

The Eating Together program provides a nutritious meal and socialization in 35 County sites in senior centers, community buildings and senior residences. Residents aged 60 and over and their spouses of any age are eligible to participate in this program and are asked to make a voluntary, confidential donation.

This community-based volunteer program provides social support to County seniors 60+ who are isolated and confined to their home. Through friendly in-home and telephone visits, volunteers offer the needed interaction, socialization and reassurance to help seniors maintain a higher quality of life with the ability to remain independent in their home longer.

Trained volunteers answer questions regarding Medicare A and B, Medicare Advangtage Plans, Medicare Supplement Insurance (medigaps), Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (Part D), Medicaid and potential Medicare frauds. Also, callers are assessed for eligibility to obtain financial assistance to help with Medicare and prescription cost.
