ENRICHMENT EMPORIUM

VAN SERVICES In cooperation with the Erie County Department of Senior Services, the

Town operates five (5) vans to pick up Senior Citizens, age 60+ (who cannot

use any conventional means of transportation) at their home and take them to

the doctor, food shopping, and other necessary services. This is a curb to

curb service. Residents requiring assistance getting in/out of their home

or the van should bring a friend or family member along to assist them.

The suggested donation for a one-way trip is $3 and $8 one way for the

wheelchair van, but the donation is confidential and each person determines

what he or she can pay. The vans run five days a week from 8:30 am to 3:30

pm. Please try to make your appointments early in the day, allowing plenty

of time for your return home.

Van reservations for MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS can be made a

minimum of 24 hours and a maximum of two weeks in advance (the

sooner the better). All OTHER APPOINTMENTS (shopping, banking,

etc.) can be made a minimum of 24 hours and a maximum of one week in

advance. Appointments will be scheduled on a space availability basis—

medical being the priority. For the health & safety of other passengers

and our drivers, we do not transport residents to the Laundromat with

dirty laundry. WHEN GROCERY SHOPPING, EACH RIDER IS

LIMITED TO 4 BAGS. Van drivers can help unload the bags but are

not permitted to enter the rider’s home.

PHONE NUMBER—858-RIDE (858-7433) WEEKDAYS, 8:30 AM—4:20 PM TO MAKE A RESERVATION.

STAYING FIT DINING PROGRAM In cooperation with the Erie County Department of Senior

Services, the Town provides a nutritious hot meal and social

opportunities for persons age 60 or over and their spouses EACH

WEEKDAY AT NOON.

DIRECTOR’S CORNER

Dear Friends,

Our Cheektowaga Senior Citizen’s Foundation has been working

on plans for our Enrichment Emporium (E2) on Saturday,

October 1st and I certainly hope you are planning to attend. The

conference committee has been meeting since March of last year

to ensure that this is an exciting, worthwhile FUN day for all who

attend. If you haven’t picked up a brochure about the event by

now, please do so—or call our office and we will send you one.

And then, after you register (at the early bird rate before August

15th, of course), BE SURE TO TELL A FEW OF YOUR

FRIENDS AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO ATTEND AS

WELL. We do have limited space available but we want to be

sure every spot is filled. It will be worth your time and money.

Consider it an investment in living YOUR best life and becoming

an even better YOU.

Unlike the schools who give their students a break for the

summer, there is no break here at the Center. We have PLENTY

to do, much to experience and LOTS OF FUN to be had. We

hope you are planning to spend some time with us. Besides all

our regularly scheduled, day-to-day activities, we have some great

special events for you to enjoy. Be sure to write all our FREE

GAZEBO CONCERTS into your busy calendar and add our

MICKEY RATS BEACH CLUB BASH too. Details are listed

under our Center Special Events on the last page of this bulletin.

Rain or shine, this event has been a hit every time we’ve done it

and this year will be no exception. Also make time for our

German Night on Thursday, September 8th. The first part of this

event is a great dinner catered by Sharf’s for just $16 per

person...but if that doesn’t tickle your taste buds, just join us for

part two, a FREE concert by Buffalo’s Big German Band.

As always, thank you for your participation at our Center. YOU

are what makes our Center such a happy, welcoming, fun-filled

place. Enjoy your summer!

Sincerely,

Kerry Peek

FITNESS CLASSES TUESDAYS---9:00-10:00 am

THURSDAYS---9:00-10:00 am Come join our fitness instructor, Kim Kawa, for an hour of

aerobic exercise. There are standing exercises and floor

exercises. All classes provide an excellent workout and you will be

reminded to work at your own pace. Seniors are encouraged to dress

comfortably, wear sneakers, bring a mat or towel to lay on and 1-3 lb.

hand-held weights are optional. ALL senior residents, age 60 plus, are

welcome to join this FREE program.

FITNESS ROOM Our fitness room is open for your use during our Center’s operating

hours (M-F, 9:00 am-4:00 pm). Be sure to check in the office first.—To

use the room you must pay our fitness room membership fee ($25 for

the year), get an I.D. Card and update your doctor’s release. If it is

your first time using the room, set up an appointment with Kim to

give you a brief training before you begin. Remember you should

bring dry shoes to put on before using the equipment—not your wet

shoes from outside. ***Non-Resident Guest Memberships Available—

we invite our non-resident guest friends to join our fitness room for the

year at the rate of $45. We’ve had a few requests for this and we

certainly want to be inclusive, not exclusive, as long as it means our

residents still have priority. Fitness Room Memberships are for a

FULL ONE YEAR PERIOD! For example, if you sign up on May 2,

2016 and pay your $25 fee, your membership will not expire until

May 2, 2017. There is not a half-year rate.

CHAIR MASSAGE & TABLE MASSAGE

Karen Farrell, our licensed massage therapist, will be offering Table

Massage on Tuesdays, $19 for 25 minutes and Chair Massage on

Fridays, $8 for 15 minutes. Appointments can be made in our Center

office or by calling 686-3930.

**TRY KAREN’S HOT STONE MASSAGE** Instead of just a table massage on Tuesdays, you can make an

appointment for a HOT STONE MASSAGE. It is still a 25-minute

treatment and the fee will be $21 payable directly to Karen. This is just

one more option for you—if you prefer the regular table massage, that is

still available. When you call for your appointment, let them know

which treatment you’d like.

ZUMBA CLASSES MONDAYS, 6:00-7:00 pm

TUESDAYS, 11:00 am—12:00 pm $2.50 per class. Wear comfortable, COOL clothing.

ZUMBA is a fusion of Latin and International music with dance themes

creating a dynamic, exciting, effective fitness system! It targets areas

such as the glutes, legs, arms and the most important muscle in the

body—the HEART! Dance experience is NOT needed. Come and see

what ZUMBA is all about. Our instructor is Julia Kiesznowski.

BE A WINNER… Each month we will have drawings for a $10 gift certificate good toward

a center-sponsored event.

BIRTHDAY BUCKET: If your birthday falls during the month, fill out

a slip at the sign in table in the lobby, put it in the bucket and we'll draw

a winner from there.

ANNIVERSARY BUCKET: If you & your spouse are celebrating their

wedding anniversary during the month, fill out a slip at the sign in table

in the lobby, put it in the bucket and we'll draw a winner.

MAY WINNERS

Birthday—Joann Schascheck

but join us for our next one on August 25th. You will learn all about

the programs & services our Center has to offer. Refreshments will

be served. Please register in advance in the Center Office. This is

the perfect time to ask any questions you have about our membership.

Welcome to the following new members who attended our last coffee

hour: Ann Morgan Taylor, Dorothy Severson and Nancy Hassey.

LOTTERY LUNCH BUNCH Ten seniors, selected by lottery, will travel by van with a Center staff

member to a local restaurant for a Dutch treat lunch (pay your own

way). This is a great chance to meet some new friends at the Center

and explore new dining experiences. Drop your name in our

“Lottery Lunch Bucket” in the office and we’ll call you the week

before if you are selected. On FRIDAY, JULY 22nd, join KERRY

as she heads SOMEPLACE WITH AN OUTDOOR PATIO. It will

be a lunch mystery trip. She promises it will be a varied menu with

decent prices. Please meet in our lobby at 11:30 am if we call you to

say you were selected. If you are a couple or two friends wishing

to go together, please put both your names on your entry slip. Be

sure to include your phone number.

Our body is our instrument.

Our life is our curriculum.
