will start Wednesday August 7th and will take place from 9 am to 10 am once every week. So save the date

as others.

Want an activity that is a bit more active? No problem, come out to Get Up N’ Go out new fun and

entertainment vessel and even communication. Instruments will be

The museums beautiful exhibits will be an excellent inspiration for us all, so when we can create our own masterpieces here in the Art room at the Scottsdale location.

We are also schedule to take trips to the movies every other

week starting Friday, August 9th.

Members have really enjoyed themselves in the past few trips to the movies that we

have decided to make it a regular monthly trip! It is a great way for our members to sit down and relax

while learning new and creative ways on how to view movies. The Movie will

always be picked with a topic in mind and members are encouraged to look for the underlying meaning in the movie. This

allows everyone to get a true movie going experience! All member’s are welcome to join both

events by contacting Jaime Broderick at

480-994-4866.

August 23rd, 2013 theme:

WIZARD OF OZ. That’s

right! Let’s express how Dor-

othy and friends traveled along

the yellow brick road.

MOVIE DATE

Arizona State University (ASU) Art

Museum has been named, "The single

most impressive venue for

contemporary art in Arizona" by Art in

America magazine, and for the month of

August we have planned a trip for our

members to visit the museum for

themselves. This trip will take place

Tuesday, August 13th from 11 am till 2

pm and we’re extremely excited for all

the fun we’re going to have.

Hey everyone! Look out next month for a new

article, where we will be featuring our very own

Janine (our Nurse) and Dena (our Nutritionist).

They are both very excited to bring our member’s

new and exciting monthly topics that will help us

all to live healthier and be happier. However, Janine

and Dena need your help! You see, the ladies need

help to pick a fun and cool name for themselves

that they can use to describe their article.

Remember all, they are a Nurse and Nutritionist

and so a creative name that could fit in both of

those categories would be appropriate. If you have

an idea or suggestion for a name please let Janine

or Dena know when you see them, they are always

around and love talking to everyone! Or please drop

off an idea with our receptionist Briana and she will

pass it along to the ladies! We look forward to your

ideas! Thank You Everyone!
