Activity Highlights—What’s Happening This Week?

Tone It Up with Adriana– This fun class will have a variety of exercises designed to in-

crease muscular strength, flexibility, range of motion and balance. Each class we will

finish class with relaxing stretches. (Tuesday at 11AM-Multi Purpose Room)

I Speak, You Speak, We All Speak Shakespeare- I speak. You speak. We all speak

Shakespeare. Join us for our monthly class led by company members from Southwest

Shakespeare who both "speak the speech" onstage and off, Shakespeare's words will

come to life through textual discussion, historical trivia, group play using the original

practices, and much more. (Tuesday at 1PM-Cinema Room)

Current Events with Leisah– Lisa will bring current events to the table for you to be

able to discuss. This is a group for intellectual stimulation where there are no wrong

answers and comments are welcome. ( Friday at 1PM-Cinema Room)

Opportunities to Honor and Remember

When loved ones pass away, they are no longer with us physically, but they are never really gone.

Part of the joy in knowing that person is the ability to keep them alive in memory and spirit.

JFCS would like to help celebrate their memory with you.

For Senior Center participants donating more than $100, the Center provides an opportunity to create a

memorial in the individual’s name. These names will be placed on a memorial plaque to be displayed

within the Center.

Participants can also choose to honor someone in recognition of a special occasion.

If you, or someone you know, are interested, please see Jennifer at the JFCS Center for Senior Enrich-

ment, for more information. 602.943.2198

My Street Memories and Reflections with Diana Krohn– Diana Krohn’s evolving career as a

secretary, teacher, saleswoman and corporate helicopter engineer was always supplemented

by volunteering in her community. As a retiree, family, friends, learning and extensive volun-

teer activities keep her busy and fulfilled. Poetry as been her mode of expression; this is her

first book. She leaves nothing out. The good and the bad, her hopes and fears, become evi-

dent in her stories. Living in a neighborhood of immigrants in a cramped apartment with as-

sorted hand-me-downs, Diana’s vision of life formed from playing with the kids on the street;

her reflections and guiding principles come from experience. (Tuesday at 1PM-Cinema Room)

listeners for 30 years at various radio stations from the St. Louis area to Phoenix. In addition

many of the entertainers from Branson, Missouri, the Grand Ole Opry, Disneyland and many

state fairs. Now retired, "Johnny Knight" enjoys entertaining and playing music for special
