Hello September! Happy Labor Day! The Center will be closed Sept. 5 for the holiday.
The days are beginning to approach summers end. For me Sept. is my favorite month. I look forward to the cool evenings that are perfect for sitting around a fire. I am definitely not a winter fan, but I would take fall all year round if I could. Do remember though, if the heat and humidity rears up again you can come to the center to cool down. Read a book, use the computer, or just sit and relax.
Want to put out a reminder again about the 1-hour ride the Center will pay for with OCATS if you are 60 to 64 years in age and have errands in the county to take care of. Give us a call and we can set that up for you.
Big News! Spread the word! Let everyone know we will be having a Matter of Balance Class here at the Senior Center. It will run from Oct. 17 – Nov. 9 on Monday and Wednesday from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. This is an 8-session course designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase physical activity.
Topics covered include assertiveness, recognizing habits that lead to falls, reducing fall hazards in the home, and balance and flexibility exercises. This is a free program. To register contact Brooke at 989-358-4616 or her email mainvilleb@nemcsa.org.
Once again, we hope everyone who came out to our second Ice Cream Party enjoyed it. Who doesn’t love ice cream right!
Exercise Class is still happening on Tuesday mornings from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
The monthly Board meeting will be on Sept. 12 at 9 a.m.
The Together We can food drops happening this month are: On Sept. 8 there will be a produce box from 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m., and on Sept. 22 the regular box from 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Remember though if they run out of food they will be gone before 2:30. The CSFP (senior cheese box) will be on Sept. 20 from 10 to 11 a.m. All of these food drops are happening at the fairgrounds.
The Full Moon for Sept. will be beautifully shining on the 10th. There is always at least one thing to be grateful for daily. Have a fabulous month and keep smiling! When we smile at others it can cause them to smile too. A small kind gesture goes along way.
