From Lori’s Desk….

I am pleased to announce that all six computers in our computer room have now been upgraded to Windows 7. This would not be possible without the hard work and expertise of our computer instructor, Ron Schoch and Program Coordinator, Debra Brauner. The Center offers a variety of computer classes which include Beginner, Intermediate, Excel, Word, Printer/Scanner, Photos – Digital Camera & Digital Photographs. If you would be interested in one of these computer classes, please let us know! On Thursday, February 4th, at 1 p.m., Family Caregivers Network will be at the Center to offer a presentation on “Therapeutic Recreation” during the aging process. Therapeutic Recreation is a treatment service designed to restore and improve a person’s level of functioning and independence in normal life activities. It promotes health and wellness and helps to reduce limitation on activities of daily living. This program benefits anyone who wants to learn how to maintain or improve his or her functional independence. On Monday, February 8th, at 1 p.m., LaVerne Moser will display his personal collection of antique music boxes; some date prior to the turn of the 20th Century. He will share the story behind each music box. You will also have the opportunity to listen to the beautiful melodies as he describes the different mechanisms that give each box a distinctive sound. If you love music boxes, this is one presentation you won’t want to miss. Beth Hiriak from Southeastern Home & Health Services will be at the Center on Wednesday, February 10th, at 10 a.m. to offer a presentation on “Have a Heart! Staying Heart Healthy with a Laugh”. Learn about the positive health benefits of maintaining a good sense of humor and upbeat attitude. Our Valentine’s Day Celebration will be held on Thursday, February 11th. The celebration will include special favors, a special dessert, and a celebration of couples. To complete the celebration, Elvis Tribute Artist, Jeff Krick will provide the musical entertainment at 1 p.m. Come celebrate Valentine’s Day at the Center!

“SPUNKY OLD BROADS” DAY Do you know any “Spunky Old Broads”? Are you a mature woman over 50 who embraces life with a positive and fun-loving spirit and a feisty attitude? Then you qualify to be a “Spunky Old Broad”! Although “Spunky Old Broads” Day and the Red Hat Society are not affiliated with each other, show your “Spunk” by wearing your red and purple on Thursday, February 25th! If you have any “Spunky Old Broad” jokes or stories, please bring them so they can be shared throughout the day and during our announcement time. Treat yourself to a viewing of “Nights in Rodanthe” with Richard Gere and Diane Lane. A devoted mother struggles with separation from her husband and a surgeon who traded his family for a career, meet at a beach house and discover a second chance at love. Join us for some light-hearted fun and get your “spunk” on!

A Friend Is Like A Valentine

A friend is like a Valentine, Heartwarming, bringing pleasure,

Seeing a special Valentine Brings happiness to stay,

And that’s what you do, friend, You brighten every day!
