Senior Needs Assessment Survey

New! Introduction to Spanish

You asked for it and, finally, your opportunity to learn Spanish has arrived. Fresh from her annual immersion in the language which consists of a visit to several Spanish-speaking countries, Language Specialist Julia Blair will be providing an 8-week introductory Spanish class right here at the Senior Center beginning August 7th . Julia’s class promises a number of interactive activities that will keep it entertaining while you learn the basics of a language that’s common to many people in our area. All 8 classes are only $30 plus the class book for $16. Space is limited so please sign up soon.

This week:

The Best Tip from this week’s “Reduce Monthly Expenses” talk was this: “Ask about discounts wherever you go. Most businesses have a senior discount of some kind and are happy to offer it if you ask.”
Every time I go to one of the informational talks here at the Senior Center I learn something.
With that in mind, join us this Thursday, July 18^th at 1:00 pm to learn about a new program offered by the Neurovation Center. Cheryl Reiner, LCSW, MS, will discuss new ways of dealing with change in order to improve your quality of life and reduce stress.

Discussion Group: Tuesday, July 16th at 2:00pm
We’ll start with an issue that’s been in the news and examine the pros and cons in relation to your opinions. We look forward to exploring and sharing thoughts.
Foot Care: Wednesday, July 17th at 9:00 pm
Dr. Paul Betzchart and his assistant Susan Tauro will be here to provide services: Assessment of the feet and lower extremities, trimming of the nails, filing and cleaning of toenails, smoothing of corns and calluses. By appointment only.

The Beatles 50 Years Later:
Wednesday, July 17th at 1:30pm
Join us as Barry Wiesenfeld takes us on a FREE musical journey to explore the phenomenon that was The Beatles – their growth, originality, musical innovations and lyrics. Bring your friends to reminisce with you about why The Beatles were so much more than just another pop band.
Massages: Wednesday, July 17, 2:00pm. Cathy from Healing Hands will be giving the massages on July 17 by appointment.
Meditation Group: Friday at 10:15am Vasu Anburajan has been practicing Raja Yoga Meditation for the last 10 years. The basic concept of Raja Yoga Meditation is to be positive and to change a negative thought to a positive one. Consistent meditation on a daily basis boosts self-esteem, and makes one confident, self- assured and able to make decisions with clarity. Come join this group and learn to open up your consciousness.
Bingo – Friday July 19th, 1:15 pm Afternoon fun with Bingo! The third Friday of each month is Bingo. $5 covers both 1^st Bingo card and refreshments. Additional cards are $1.00 each. Please, adults only. Come for fun.
