SUPPORTS THE PROGRAMS OF THE SENIOR CENTER President: Joseph Carey ~ Vice-President: Sue Layland ~
ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBERS Eileen Angrason – Lillian Baliff - Jean Crone – Gerry Davis
June Dougherty - Sheila Harmyk – Helen Keeler – Marlene Kirby Sarah Larsen - Len Layland – Letitia Lombardo
Lucy Lovero – Kathy Massey - Margaret Matthews Lucy Rossi – Jim Siciliano –Virginia Smith -
Bob Thompsen - Patty Worland – Barbara Zarkowski
NOTE FROM PRESIDENT JOE CAREY
As I write this, August is fast becoming a hot memory. When
Labor Day is not that far away, I start to think of Fall, Halloween,
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and all the other holidays I enjoy. Boy, is
time flying by. I hope everyone is enjoying what is left of summer.
As usual, lots of events and activities at the Center. We are
gearing up for the Halloween Party that is planned for Friday,
October 14. Tickets are available at the Center so please plan to
attend and have a great time.
One topic that hopefully is on everyone's mind is the upcoming
election in November. In all the years I have been voting, this is
probably the one that is generating the most emotion and concern. If you are not registered to vote, please
consider doing so before October 18, 2016. If you are not sure about all the issues at stake, now is a good
time to start asking questions and getting the feedback that will help you make an informed decision. We
have the greatest country in the world and we want to keep it that way for our children and grandchildren.
Wishing you a great September.

Notes from Wendy…September 2016 The heat has been quite oppressive this summer but, as always, the center has remained cool and
comfortable all season long. Thankfully, summer is officially over on the 22nd! I am looking forward to a
very pleasant autumn when we can all get some fresh air and take a break from24/7 air conditioning. Of
course, the weather will be what it will be as we will welcome back all our program leaders and continue to
offer all our scheduled programs. Please take a look at the center pages of the newsletter for all program
additions or schedule changes. Why not start the new season by trying new classes—exercise is always a
great choice. I am in the process of planning next year’s programs, special events and trips at this time.
Information and sign-up to follow as it becomes available.
The feedback from the summer party at Yesterdays was excellent! Everyone enjoyed the day—Joey, the
food and the service.
The trip to: “Samaha” for fruits and veggies went well, “Medieval Times” had mixed reviews, and Atlantic
City went very well— looking forward to: Grounds for Sculpture, and Keyport’s very own Captain John’s
cruise–seats are available and if you have never traveled with Capt. John --IT IS A MUST! You will be in
for a treat.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The center will sell pink ribbons (made –up by Martha
Shearer—thank so much!) at $1.00. Please support this very important charity which affects us all. All
proceeds will go to Susan B. Komen Foundation. Date to be announced shortly.
Thank You…Thank You…Thank You…
George Beyrouty for cooking our hot dogs on the BBQ—YUM…looking forward to your next specially
cooked lunch…

“MOVEMENT FOR LIFE” PROGRAM”
A COMPREHENSIVE EXERCISE PROGRAM TAKING IN ALL ASPECTS OF HEALTHY MOVEMENT FOR OLDER ADULTS. ALL CLASSES ARE OFFERED AT NO COST AND ARE TAUGHT BY CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS.
BALANCE WITH THE STABILITY BALL! - (alternate Thursdays at 9:00 am) while this class is one of the more challenging, it is taught on multi-levels. Teaches core (mid-section) stability which improves balance and total body strength. Everyone is welcome to come in and challenge themselves. However, if the instructor feels that you are not quite ready for this very challenging class, she may recommend attendance in another class first. *BALANCE! - (alternate Thursdays at 9:00 am) teaches utilization of proper muscles to improve balance and stability to prevent falls. This class is taught on multi-levels, so if you have poor balance, it will help improve it. At the same time those who have been attending class regularly will continue to improve and be challenged. A variety of props are used to “change up” the workout and continue improvement while keeping the class fun and versatile. *GENTLE STRENGTH - This class combines the better of two other classes on the schedule, “Strength” and “Gentle Fitness”. Approximately 1/3 of class time is spent moving joints to relieve stiffness and improve symptoms of arthritis or injury. The balance of the class time is dedicated to building strength through the use of weights, bands, and “weight balls”. Performing weight-bearing exercises will also improve bone strength. *BODIES IN MOTION! An introduction to “movement with music”. Ideal for the beginner and great for the cardiovascular system. Be heart-healthy and have fun! *GENTLE FITNESS - Individuals work at their own pace. Exercises are done while seated or standing for short periods of time. Classes help relieve stiffness, joint pain and improve range of motion, flexibility, and endurance. Also improves balance, posture and will help improve symptoms of arthritis. This program is ideal for beginners and all levels of fitness. LINE DANCING - Enjoy line dancing with volunteers who have a great deal of talent! These instructors continue to educate themselves with new dances and choreograph their own dances. The Center provides a beginner class as well as an advanced class. Enjoy the strength and stamina these classes provide! Learn how to enjoy the art of dance! STRENGTH TRAINING - Designed to strengthen muscles for the whole body using a combination of weights, pilates rings, bands and weighted balls. Concentrates on the “core” muscles (abdominal and back) designed to improve strength and flexibility. *TAI-CHI QIGONG BALL - This is a combination of the slow movements of Tai-Chi with Qigong (chee chong) meditative deep breathing, while using a weighted ball to improve upper body strength. It is compatible with Gentle Fitness and Strength Training classes. BEGINNERS CAN SIT. *YOGA - Seated/Mat optional mind body class incorporating principles of yoga and guided imagery. Students perform a series of gentle yoga poses and stretching exercises. ZUMBA- a medley of dance styles. Zumba breaks these dances down to address the anatomical and biomechanical needs of active older adults or the unconditioned beginner. It does not rely on typical aerobics-style 32-count beats for movement and, instead, is inspired by authentic music. BELLY DANCING- a low impact, creative aerobic workout that contributes to enhanced physical fitness as well as emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Our Gypsy Style will move you closer to your feelings and provide a format through which you can express those feelings.
FOR YOUR BENEFIT PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW THIS REQUEST: If you participate in any of our exercise classes, dance classes or play table tennis—please remember—proper clothing (layers, sneakers, socks…etc). From: your fitness instructors and staff

Whew! August heat or no August heat we had our wonderful annual Grandfriends Tea on August 18th
and what a party it was! Once the goodies were consumed, including that lovely cake (thanks, Rose),
we got down to exchanging new ideas for the 2016-17 season. And there were plenty of good ones—
about arts and crafts, stories, Legos—and all the fun and enrichment in store for the children, and
for the Grandfriends too. It’s a win-win!
Our first meeting will be Thursday, October 6th at 9:30 a.m. here at the Center. If you haven’t yet
joined us, stop in for a visit and see if Grandfriends is something for you—you will probably fall in love
with the program and come back, again and again. You can choose to come one Thursday a month, or
two, 9:30-11:15.
WATCH FOR: The beautiful Grandfriends Poster on the table in the hall (next to the exercise
room). Also…
…last month you heard from Carol Battista telling why she loves Grandfriends. In future issues, look
for this space to read Voices of Grandfriends. Members will tell what this terrific program means to
them and why they love it.
--Gail Paris
PS: 2nd meeting will be Oct. 20. Please watch this space for future schedule
