Older Adult Programs https://www.phoenix.gov/humanservices/programs/older The Human Services Department operates 15 senior centers in which
it provides an integrated system of services and resources for individ-
uals to age in place. Each center provides adults a variety of opportu-
nities of support through recreation, social, education, health and
wellness, advocacy and social services. The centers also provide
information on senior programs and resources, minor home appliance
replacement/repair for seniors and senior discount programs.
A monthly insert for your education and
familiarization with the incredible diversity and
bountiful resources available to you by the City.
SPECIAL OLYMPICS MISSION: The
mission of Special Olympics is to pro-
vide year-round sports training and
athletic competition in a variety of
Olympic-type sports for children and
adults with intellectual disabilities. To
give them continuing opportunities to
develop physical fitness, demonstrate
courage, experience joy, and partici-
pate in a sharing of gifts, skills, and
friendship with their families, other
Special Olympics athletes and the
community.
SPECIAL OLYMPICS ARIZONA GOAL:
Special Olympics Arizona's (SOAZ) goal
is to empower over 180,000 Arizonans
with intellectual disabilities to be
healthy, productive, and respected
members of society through SOAZ's
year-round sports training, competi-
tions and support programs.
Special Olympics Arizona
Sponsors :
Wherever the event is held, alco-
hol should be served by profes-
sional bartenders or caterers.
They should be specifically re-
minded not to serve minors and
limit alcohol served to intoxicated
guest or guests that are driving
home.
Arizona has “Social Host liability
laws” applicable to minors and you
should know what your responsibil-
ity is.
Be mindful of the loud noise re-
striction in residential neighbor-
hoods. It could cost you more than
an unfriendly neighbor. Litter and
bottles left “on the way to the car”
could also be a factor on how well
you get along with your neighbors.
Cars parked along the street are
subject to parking restrictions,
consider including a friendly re-
minder to your guest invite, to be
respectful to your neighbors when
they park.
Provide a secure area for valua-
bles including weapons. Have
them behind a locked door or have
someone keep an eye on them
that is not participating in the
spirted refreshments.
You should include a
“designated driver” or insist on
those drinking and unable to
drive, to call a cab.
Consider removing prescription
drugs from your common bath-
room medicine cabinet.
Enjoy the season-safely!

Coffee with a Cop
at Los Altos Ranch Market.
* Some links were omitted due to the City blocking the Departments access
Pros Ranch Market is now
Los Altos Ranch Market.
Same great hospitality and
great food. November’s
Coffee with a Cop was the
usual success. You should
consider coming to the next
one at Ronnie's’ Café.
We’re happy to report that United
Airlines is now participating in
Early Bag Check.
If you recall, we noted in a previ-
ous column travelers flying Ameri-
can Airlines, Southwest Airlines
and US Airways could take ad-
vantage of Early Bag Check and
eliminate the need to carry
checked baggage aboard the PHX
Sky Train® or Airport shuttle*.
The free service – available at
East Economy Parking, the 44th
Street PHX Sky Train® Station
and the Rental Car Center – has
proven to be quite popular.
Here’s how it works:
If you’re parking at East Econo-
my, you can drop off your luggage
before you park. Just look for
signs when entering the parking
area.
Travelers using the Valley Metro
Rail or who are dropped off at the
44th Street PHX Sky Train® Sta-
United Airlines Begins Early Bag Check
at Sky Harbor
tion can check their bags on level 2
on the east side of the station.
Travelers using the Rental Car Cen-
ter can check their bags after re-
turning their car and before board-
ing the Airport Shuttle.
You will need to check your bags a
minimum of 90 minutes prior to
your flight departure. Also, please
note that due to airline policies,
baggage cannot be checked more
than four hours in advance of flight
departure.
The nice part is that there is no ad-
ditional cost for this service, but
individual airline bag fees still apply.
Gratuities are accepted for excep-
tional service.
Here’s a breakdown on hours of
operation:
East Economy: 4 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
seven days a week, including holi-
days.
44th Street: 6 a.m. to 1 p.m., Mon-
day through Saturday, including
holidays.
Rental Car Center: 5 a.m. to 6
p.m., seven days a week, includ-
ing holidays.

bor.com/earlybagcheck.
By the numbers
When it comes to holiday travel
scares, Thanksgiving week tends to
get a bad rap, but when looking at
only flight stats, Orbitz.com found
that the week around Christmas is
far busier. United States Department
of Transportation says the number of
long-distance travelers during the period between Christmas Eve
to New Year’s rises 23 percent, compared to the average number
during the rest of the year. Which days are the busiest tends to
depend on what days of the week the holidays fall during any
given year. http://getawaytips.azcentral.com/busiest-time-air-travel-3409.html
