Trip Policy:
A $75.00 deposit for our Multi-Day Trips must be paid at the time of sign-up or you may pay the full amount
at that time. We would appreciate it if you would pay by check as it makes bookkeeping easier. Please
remember to book your trip as soon as you decide to go. All trips have to be paid 1 to 1&1/2 months before
trip date unless otherwise stated. This will cause less cancelling of trips for not enough interest. We recommend that you take out
insurance at the time of deposit for full coverage on longer trips. If we cancel a trip or the tour company cancels, you will receive
a refund. There will be no refunds from us once we have paid the travel company its first payment when the trip is a go. We will
be glad to arrange monthly payments for you. So, come on and travel with us.

18 year old, Dan was walking home from a Halloween par-
ty at his friends house, when he heard a thumping noise be-
hind him. THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP. When Dan turned
around he saw it was a coffin behind him. Dan started walk-
ing quicker but the THUMPS were still right behind him. Soon
Dan was running, the coffin started running too. Now Dan was
running faster than he had ever ran in his life but the coffin
was still right behind him! “HELP!” Dan screamed! He ran into
his house and tried to slam the door but the coffin caught the
door and started following him up the steps THUMP, THUMP,
THUMP, THUMP, Dan ran into the bathroom and grabbed the
first thing he saw, cough drops, and threw them at the cof-
fin….and of course the coffin’ stopped.
A retired man who volunteers to entertain patients in nursing
homes and hospitals went to one local hospital in Brooklyn
and took his portable keyboard along. He told some jokes
and sang some funny songs at the patients’ bedsides. When
he finished he said, in farewell, “I hope you get better.” One
elderly gentleman replied, “I hope you get better, too.”

Hi everybody, Seems like I just welcomed summer and just like that, it’s over. We sure had enough rain. NPR, “National Public Radio” were concerned about the amount of rainfall we have been getting. They stated that Harrisburg has received 16 inches this season, a record since they normally only
get 6 inches. The cause? You guessed it," Global warming," “Climate change” In July 1942, 34.5 inches of rain fell in Smethport Pa. in just 12 hours. Gotta be a record. Wonder where they placed the blame back then??? Enough about the rain. I will be taking you down memory lane at the party on November 14. Hope you can make it and have a great time. Until then, wishing you a happy and healthy autumn.

THE SUNSHINE SINGERS CHORUS
We are still looking for more singers to join the
“Sunshine Singers”, the Centers chorus. Most of our
songs are the old standards and we sing them in unison,
so you don’t have to read music, and you’ll never get a
second soprano part to sing by yourself, or an alto part
that has completely different words than the sopranos are
singing. The only qualifications are that you are a senior
(55+) and that you enjoy and have fun singing. Practices
and performances are on Wednesday Afternoons
(Usually) . This is your invitation and you can just show up
or call (215)538-8671 for more information.
See our schedule above.
We know a guy who was so dumb his teacher gave him
two sticks and he became a drummer but then lost one
and became a conductor.
“My memory is gone Mildred, so I changed my
password to “Incorrect.” That way when I log in with
the wrong password, the computer will tell me…

The Importance of What We Do
Being Part Of Our Community
1. We are still a collection site for the Food Pantry. At this time, pasta and sauces are needed. Please buy a second
something on sale and drop it off here. They also need canned and packaged goods that won’t spoil.
2. Eyeglasses are still being collected and given to the Lion’s Club.
3. Tabs from pop top cans (soda, tuna, cat food, etc.) are being collected for the Ronald McDonald House, which shelters
families of children who are seriously ill or injured. We give them to the Women’s Club who takes them to a McDonald’s
repository.
4. Both our choral group “The Sunshine Singers” and our band “The Impossibles” go to different nursing homes and
assisted living facilities to entertain those residents every month.
5. Please bring in any post-marked stamps to the front desk. We collect cancelled stamps, and they are given to
the Blind Association.
6. The V.A. Clinic in Allentown has a little coffee room available to patients while they wait for their appointments. They
need sugar, tea bags, artificial sweeteners and stirrers.
7. We are collecting pennies for Cancer Research. Please bring your pennies and loose change in to help.
8 We are sending gift boxes to our Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. We need more donations to fill our boxes.
9. We help support Quakertown’s Fourth Of July Fireworks Display with our Bingo-In-The-Park and selling Pulled
Pork Sandwiches at these 2 fundraising booths.
10. Our Volunteers distribute our newsletter throughout the Upper Bucks Area.
Find Out What’s Going On In Your Community . . . And Then Get Involved !
Development of our Mission Statement: The core principles that guide us are compassion, volunteerism, fellowship and
action. We exist to provide services and support, using fundraising to support our programs. We provide Information and
Resources and activities in such areas as Entertainment, Education, Nutrition, Health and Travel. Our customers are adults
55+ in the broad community of Upper Bucks County, as well as community business and groups that support our goals.
We also provide a clean, safe and healthy environment for all to enjoy.
“This project is funded, in part, under a contract with the Pennsylvania Department of Aging and the County of Bucks.”
Without community service, we
would not have a strong quality of
life. It’s important to the person who
serves as well as the recipient. It’s the
way which we ourselves grow and
develop. . Volunteers Are The
Backbone Of Our Center ! . . . .
Thank you to all our Volunteers!
Couldn’t do it without each and
everyone of you!
Thank You!
Your financial support of the
operation of the Upper Bucks

Why access to the kitchen has been frowned upon?
A commercial kitchen can be a dangerous place for slips and falls!
Thank you for your understanding
An elderly woman had just returned to her home from
an evening at church service when she was startled by
an intruder. As she caught the man in the act of robbing
her home of its valuables, she yelled, "STOP! ACTS
2:38!" (Repent and be baptized, in the name of the lord,
so that your sins may be forgiven.)
The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly
called the police and explained what she had done. As
the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the
burglar, "Why did you just stand there? All the old lady
did was yell scripture at you."
"SCRIPTURE?!" replied the burglar, "She said she had
an AXE and TWO 38's!
At the end of his tenth and final golf lesson, the elderly man asked the pro how he had performed.
"Well," replied the instructor, "you'll never be a pro, but you can get personal enjoyment out of the
game, and the exercise will do you good. Your main problem is that you are too close to the ball after
you swing."

We continuously collect items to box and send to our troops overseas.

Redner’s Supermarkets are donating a penny to our
Center for every dollar that you spend at their store. If
you would like to help us this way, pick up a Redner’s Pump Perks
Card. Even if you have an old card, you have to fill out an application
at the store and get a new one. As you check out, the card will be acti-
vated. The words Save A Tape will be printed on your register receipt.
Save all of your register tapes and bring them in to us. Please do NOT
use any highlighter over the words, or cut off the bottom of the tapes.
We send them in and then receive our 1% donation to the Center.

In the week before Thanksgiving Mary-Jo asked her class of 9
year-olds to write a paragraph entitled:
'What I am most thankful for on Thanksgiving Day'. All Joey
could write was: 'I am thankful that I'm not a turkey at Thanksgiving.'
