2013 BOARD OF DIRECTORS & STAFF

Hi all,

Happy New Year! Our wish for each and every one of you is to have a

fabulous 2013!

One of our most popular events each month is our Monthly Potluck,

which usually occurs on a Wednesday. As many of you know, Mondays

and Fridays are Afternoon of Games days, however, it appears that

Wednesdays have also turned into an Afternoon of Games day as well.

There is no problem playing games on Wednesdays, however, if we have

other activities and/or events, we will list them on the monthly calendar

in the newsletter. We normally have the Monthly Potluck at 12:30, but

due to many of our participants being afternoon gamers, we will be

moving the Potluck up to 12:00 PM, so we can ask for and get help with

the clean-up of the kitchen. We have actually had volunteers say they

love being in the kitchen after an event because of all the camaraderie

helping clean up with a great group of people they just shared a meal

with. At the same time, I know about the time it takes to play some of

these games that we love! So, my hope is that you will not mind the

change back to noon and will come in and help us get the kitchen back in

order for the next users, while sharing in the fun and fellowship!

With the start of a new year and a new Board of Directors, I’d like to

thank the 2011/2012 Board and welcome the new 2013 and/or 2013/2014

Board of Directors. With being the Director of such a wonderful, warm

but very busy organization, I know what time commitment each and

every one of you puts in to make this the best Senior Center around. The

staff and I look forward to working with all and you know if there is

anything we can help with, please don’t hesitate to ask!

As a reminder, the Center will be closed Tuesday, January 1st in

observance of New Year’s Day and on Monday, January 21st for Martin

Luther King Jr. Day.

~Terry

Friday, January 4th - at 1:00 PM

This month’s meeting will be a celebration of our presentation to the students at Douglas County High School in November. Anyone with interest is invited.

For Information: Maxine McDonald at 303.660.1682

A Letter from the Executive Director

We will also plan for the new year, so bring ideas for meeting speakers, book reports or discussions about WWII, Korea, Vietnam as well as the present conflicts.

That quote is as relevant today as it was in the 1500s when it was first spoken by John Heyward. It is surely the mantra of the world of volunteering, especially when it comes to the roles needed at the conclusion of events, activities or meetings. What often should be a quick clean up becomes a burden because there just aren’t enough

hands. This is especially true of our meals like the potlucks and the potato bar. Please sign up to help and to see it through till the last pan is clean!! Remember to pick up your dishes and take them home to wash, as that will help a lot, too. Together we can accomplish so much and so fast!!

January Volunteer: Maxine McDonald V

olu

nte

er

of

the M

on

th

Maxine McDonald has always had her head in the clouds. Born in Del Rio, Texas but raised as a Midwesterner in Ohio, Maxine is a can-do kind of person who played with balsa wood airplanes as a girl. Because newspaper and magazine articles were required reading in class, she began to recognize the troubles that would lead the world to World War II.

Excellent in math and science, Maxine was awarded a scholarship to Purdue University where she was recruited into an accelerated Engineering program by the Curtiss Wright Aircraft Company at the outbreak of the war. Within six months she had sixty semester hours and she moved back to Ohio to work as a draftsman at Curtiss Wright Aircraft, designing the SB2C Hell Diver fighter plane for the Navy.

Maxine met her future husband while attending school in Ohio. He was later stationed in San Diego as a Radioman in the Navy. They would be married while he was on leave from flying PBY Catalina Submarine hunters off the coast of California. Upon joining him in California she worked for Ryan Aircraft in San Diego. Following the war, they had three children, and Maxine would eventually return, with her son, to Texas to be close to her mother.

Maxine attended college, finished her degree, and went to work for as a purchasing agent for an engineering concrete form company. Maxine’s love of planes eventually had her take to the air, when she learned to fly a Cessna120 and Little Cub Piper planes.

She moved to Castle Rock ten years ago to be near to her daughter Dale. Since moving here, Maxine has been a very active volunteer - her daughter, Dale, credits the Center for that. She has volunteered for the County Jail, helping inmates get their GED and learn English as a second language. She also taught ESL at the library. She is longtime volunteer for the Douglas County Task Force, and of course, is known here at the Senior Center. She was instrumental in getting the stories of our vets heard at Douglas County High School this past year since she is one of the founding members of the Remembering Our Veterans group. Her can-do attitude comes from a lifetime of experiences and sharing those experiences with others. We are thrilled she shares them with us here at the Center.

We are so glad that you landed here at our Center. Thanks for all you do.

As the cost of food rises and budgets get tighter, here are some healthy foods that are also low

cost. We all know that if you can get fresh fruit and vegetables that are in season on sale that you

will get a good “bang for your buck.” But it’s not always that easy. Sometimes you simply can’t

eat it all, or it spoils in your refrigerator, and then it is not a good deal. Here are some foods that

came up in multiple articles as being HEALTHY BUT CHEAP!

BROWN RICE – This whole grain contains minerals like magnesium and zinc, and can be used in soups and stews, besides

stir-fry and side dishes.

BEANS – Good for your heart, this inexpensive low fat protein is also full of fiber. Black, pinto, garbanzo, kidney are just a few

of the many types of beans to pick from and can be eaten on their own or added to soups, salads, and chili!

EGGS – The story keeps changing if eggs are good or bad, but in moderation you can’t go wrong. One egg gives you 11% of

your daily protein recommendation for only 68 calories.

SWEET POTATOES – In addition to being loaded with antioxidants, calcium, potassium, vitamins A and C, and fiber, you can

purchase just what you need so they won’t spoil. Watching what you top them with is the key, or consider slicing, tossing with a

bit of olive oil and rosemary and roasting for fries. In your pantry they will keep 5 – 7 days, and if cooked, slice/mash and

freeze for up 10 months.

CANNED TUNA – Good for the brain and heart, this low fat protein also contains important essential omega-3 fatty acids

which can lower cholesterol. Do not eat everyday as this food does contain mercury, but buy chunk light tuna in water instead

of albacore as it’s cheaper and contains less mercury.

WHOLE WHEAT PASTA – Containing almost three times as much fiber as regular pasta, this food is not only heart healthy,

but will keep you feeling full longer. Pair it with an inexpensive pasta sauce or add to soups or side salads for a quick meal.

CANNED TOMATOES – Did you know that if you combine cooked tomatoes with a bit of fat, like olive oil, your body has an

even easier job of absorbing the lycopene – a very powerful antioxidant? You also get an added benefit of Vitamins C and A!

This canned item can be picked up on sale and added to soups, stews, or with added spices could be placed in the oven with

chicken to bake.

FROZEN VEGETABLES – Frozen vegetables are easy to find on sale and will keep in your freezer until you need them. Easily

added to soups or to whole wheat pasta with tuna or beans can provide you a low cost, nutritious easy meal. Of course, a bag of

frozen peas makes a great ice pack for a sore spot!

There are more items, but these are a few great, healthy staples to have on hand to help stretch those food dollars.

Relax Restore Rejuvenate With

~ Reflexology ~

What is Foot Reflexology? Reflexology is a holistic natural therapy that works on the principle that energy balance will lead to increased vitality and

greater enjoyment of life.

How does it work? The therapist uses thumbs and fingertips to press special points of the sole and back of the foot. This special pressing stimulates the meridians (energy pathways) to flow. The meridians correspond to the organs, glands and muscles in the body. Blockades can be eliminated to allow energy to flow through the body. This helps with pain management, stress relief, and

allergies while promoting relaxation and preservation of your well being.

Cost $15 payable at time of service.

Tuesdays, January 8, 15, 22 and 29

Monday, January 28th - 9:30 AM Yellow Rose & Act II Consignment

Perhaps all the gifts from the holidays that people didn’t like might have been taken to these 2 big consignment stores, so there may be some good

buys. They have women’s clothing but also household goods, decorations and even furniture.

Come see if they have bargains. For lunch, we will stop at Golden Corral, a bargain in

itself at just $7.69 for all you can eat.

never gotten around to it, or if you are a “closet writer”

come check them out.

I want to say thank you to all members, past and present, who took the opportunity to sit on the CRSC Board of Directors. Those positions are not for the faint of heart, as they (and the staff) are the behind the scenes people who make what we have here possible. I also have to thank the volunteers who give so much to keep this Center in the black with their time, their energy, and most of all, their smiles.

For the past two and half years I have been the CRSC Treasurer. It has given me the opportunity to see how the Center runs, where we get our funds, and how the organization partners with the outside interests who want to see us succeed and grow, such as the Town of Castle Rock, Douglas County and those entities that give us grant money to operate. I decided to run for President at the last minute as a result of meeting with the Town a few months ago, when we discussed putting together a Long Range Business Plan.

We all know that the demands on the Center will grow as the baby boomers become part of the "in crowd." We need to develop plans that allow us to grow with those demands. That, along with keeping the Center the best senior

center in the area, is what I hope to accomplish over the next year.

If anyone wants to reach me, I am usually at the Center three days a week or call my cell at 253-218-8043 or send me an email at [email protected].

— Rich Smoski

I welcome the new Board of Directors and wish everyone the best in the coming year. During my four years as President the Center has had ups and downs, but we are on top now. The Board has been wonderful; we have really accomplished a lot, made great decisions, and kept the transparency we need. Thanks to all Board Members and all our members who volunteer. Our staff handles their tasks with grace and care.

Due to my nerves at the microphone, I may have made errors in thanking people at the November Annual Meeting, but all have made their mark and earned gold stars! Vivien has our records in perfect order, and turnaround for minutes is faster than ever with few corrections. Our “fundraising” VPs were great; the profits, especially for the Craft Show, are higher than ever due to the work of so many. I only hope, as a new VP, that I can do as well.

No one wants the stories and the lessons of history to be forgotten, and a

group of seniors and members of the Remembering our Veterans group are

aspiring to see to it that those who fought for our freedoms from right here in

Castle Rock are known for future generations. On November 1st and 2nd, local

connections to World War II history were brought to life for every student in

Douglas County High School, as our seniors presented stories of 10 local heroes

who fought in Europe or the Pacific, or participated on the home front.

“The response from the students was fantastic, so much better than we could

have anticipated,” said Larry Adams who organized the event with DCHS

Librarian, Peggy Cummings. “They were so engaged and asked terrific

questions.” Maxine McDonald, who was also one of the organizers, said

school administration reported that the presentation sparked conversations at

home about family members who were also war heroes, and kids were sharing at

school. This is exactly what was hoped for by those who made it happen.

One of the highlights of both days was having George Salvador present. He

was a B-17 bomber who flew 26 missions in the war, including flying over the

beaches of Normandy. After the war he

became an engineer and worked on the

Apollo space missions. The students

were fascinated.

DCHS would like to make this an

annual program, focusing on other

conflicts like Korea and Vietnam. This

program could be presented at other

schools in the future as well.

Pictured above are some of the participants who read the Vet’s stories. (l to r) Joseph

Martin, George Salvador, Derald Hoffman, Bill Kelly, Maxine McDonald, Peggy

Cummings (standing), and Larry Adams. Also speaking were Roberta Hanger, Karen

Osmun, and Jim Nash. Thanks to everyone.

A powerful event like this doesn’t just happen by accident.

According to Maxine McDonald, “Larry Adams put in

unimaginable time on this, and it only happened because of his

persistence.” He worked with the library to gather the local

veteran stories, compressed those into something

manageable, wrote the scripts, set out on a quest to let these

stories be told, and then worked closely with Peggy at Douglas County High

School to make it happen. Thanks Larry!!!
