UP OMING EVENTS

Square Dancing ClassWith all its moving, twisting, and turning, square dancing

provides more than the daily dose of heart- and bone-healthy physical activity. Remembering all the calls -- from"do-si-do" to 'alemand' -- keeps the mind sharp, potentially

staving off age-related memory loss, experts say. And thecompanionship that regular square dancing offers is anantidote to depression and loneliness, a statement con-firmed by square-dancing advocates everywhere. John

Chitwood will again be leading a class that will teach the basics of square dancing. The class will open for people tocome and try for the first 4 weeks in order to be fair to the

rest of the dancers.

Date: Every Friday starting in NovemberTime: 7:00 pm

Location: Main Room

Cost: donations for coffee

changes in facial features, drooping eye or, smiling crookedly. A-Arms, if they can not lift both arms. S-Speech, any difficulties in speech. T-Time, time is the biggest thing to worry about with a stroke. A stroke

victims best chance of survival is getting them to a hospital immediately. If there is any doubt call 911!

Wesley Rehab is hospital-based and the average stay is about 2 weeks. They can also o out-patient rehab.

Our 2nd speaker was Conni Mansaw from CPAAA, who spoke on who are care-givers and that theyneed to be reminded they need to care for themselves as well so they can be at their peak performancelevel. She advised that November is National Care-Givers month. Statistics show that there are more

teenaged and younger care-givers than ever before.
