Closing Information 16

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year!

Winter is setting in and the Center is nice and warm. I know the roads will be tricky from

time to time, but when it is safe to drive, and when you feel you can safely navigate the

roads, the Center is waiting for you. Many activities and classes still go on year-round.

Try to get into the Center and maybe try a new activity or class. I bet you have talents that

you may not even know you have. So try something new and amaze yourself!

On another item, the Center has a lot going on every day. There are many needs for vol-

unteers to help with our Flea Market, to help direct visitors, to help at the front desk, and

many more opportunities. Please talk to me, Peggy, Buster, or Ted, to see how you can

help. Even if you can help just once or twice, we appreciate your efforts and time to make

our Center even better.

And I need to say this again, as it’s time to join or renew your membership. Please be

aware that this money is staying within the Center to support the daily operation of the

Center. Please join or renew your membership before April 30, to stay active and to take

advantage of membership pricing for classes in 2016.

I’d also like to tell you that we’re planning more Lunch and Learns, but we’re also bringing

in speakers from local historical societies and other organizations. I know that you cannot

all be here for these great sessions, so we may change a little, and hold a few sessions in

the morning. There will be some very interesting topics and speakers. Please see Page 4

for more details on the first few presentations.

Also, there will be more intergenerational activities with the Pennridge Central Middle

School students this year, including The Lion King play in March. Watch at the Center for

the date and when you can sign up for tickets.

I look forward to seeing you in 2016, and please bring a friend, neighbor, or relative to

show them our Center. Maybe they’ll even join the Center or have a need to rent the Leg-

acy Room for an event. The more the merrier!

I hope you and your families enjoyed a memorable Holiday Season! As we approach the New Year, we reflect on a very successful 2015. Thank you to Debbie and Peggy for their efforts not only in the special activities but also for their efforts in the Center’s smooth daily operation. We appreciate the efforts of our treasurer Susan Vasquez, who very efficiently takes care of our funds. Thank you to the Executive and Advi-sory Boards for providing the necessary guidance which con-tributes to our success. A special thanks to the many volun-teers for their time and efforts in our operation. It is amazing what can be accomplished when we work together to provide services and programs for the area residents.

We are looking forward to a great 2016. Both grants awarded by the Department of Aging have been completed. Ted Heim-bach and Dale Roades are continuing to provide tutoring and software workshops to provide opportunities for developing and refining technology skills. In addition to the computers housed in the Computer Room, eight lap top computers and four iPads are housed in a charging cart in the library and can be used throughout the Center. Check them out!

The Pennsylvania Department of Aging also awarded us a grant to remodel the patio with the installation of a new floor and a roof. Architect Fred Diseroad and I supervised the pro-ject though its completion. The patio will provide a comfortable usable outdoor space for both programs and leisure activities. We are looking forward to scheduling activities when the weather is appropriate.

Membership renewal time is here! Yearly membership in the Center extends from January 1 to December 31. To help us fund our many projects as well as the operation of the Center, our yearly membership fee has been increased to $16.00. It is still a bargain!

Our aim is to have our Center grow and expand to provide programs for everyone. This will happen only with your sup-port as an active participant. Suggestions for new programs and activities are always welcome. Participate in the many activities offered! Your Center is here for you to take advantage of all it has to offer!

Best Wishes for a Happy, Healthy New Year! Buster Guth

Kitchen News from Peggy

The start of another new year. A time for lots of adventures and fun. At the center we seek to give you a warm and joyful

place to visit, socialize, exercise, learn and enjoy. We also care about your safety. I strayed a bit from my usual kitchen

news in this newsletter. I wanted to give some information about winter safety. These are things we all know, but it

doesn’t hurt to be reminded of the extra cautions we must take as older adults.

Winter is a special time for celebration. It should also be a time for added caution if you or someone in your family is an

older adult. It is the season for falls, slips on icy streets and other dangers that can be especially harmful for older

adults.

"Before the cold weather arrives, it is important to prepare." Injury While Shoveling Snow When it’s cold, your heart works extra hard to keep you warm. Working hard, such as shoveling show, may put too much strain on your heart, especially if you have heart disease. Shoveling can also be dangerous if you have problems with balance, or “thin bones” (osteoporosis) Ask Your Healthcare Provider If It's Safe for you to shovel snow or do other hard work in the cold. Falls It is easy to slip and fall in the winter, especially in icy and snowy conditions. Carefully Shovel Steps & Walkways to your home or hire someone to shovel for you. Do not walk on icy or snowy sidewalks; look for sidewalks that are dry and have been cleared. Wear Boots with Non-skid Soles so you’re less likely to slip when you walk. If You Use a Cane, Replace the Rubber Tip before it is Worn Smooth. You might also buy (at a medical supply store) an ice pick-like attachment that fits onto the end of the cane to help keep you from slipping when you walk. Winter Driving: Because winter driving can be more hazardous you should: Have your Car 'Winterized' before the bad weather hits. This means having the antifreeze, tires, and wind-shield wipers checked and changed if necessary. Take a Cell Phone with you when driving in bad weather. Always let someone know where you’re going and when you expect to arrive, so they can call for help if you’re late. Do Not Drive on Icy Roads overpasses or bridges if possible; look for another route. Stock your Car With Basic Emergency Supplies. Enjoy the joys of Winter and have a great Martin Luther King Day, Valentine’s Day, and President’s Day! Let’s hope Punxsutawney Phil does not see his shadow!

Don’t forget to sign-up for lunch on Copilot by 11:30 on

Wednesday, the week prior to your lunch date. Meal orders are

faxed at noon on Wednesdays for the following week.

Linton’s does not accept additions after our order is faxed.

ALL lunches will be served at 11:30.

Do You ‘Just Belong’?

Are you an Active Member, the kind that

would be missed, or are you just content

that your name is on the list?

Do you attend meetings and mingle with

the flock, or do you stay home and criti-

cize and knock?

Do you take an active part to help the

work along, or are you satisfied to be the

kind that ‘just belongs’?

Do you do your job well and without a

kick, or do you leave the work to just a few

and talk about the clique?

There’s quite a program scheduled that

I’m sure you’ve heard about and ‘twill be

appreciated too, it you will come and help.

Think this over, member, you know right

from wrong. Are you an active member,

or do you ‘just belong’?

Volunteering at the Center

Pocket Billiards Tournaments

Our Center is what it is, thanks to the volunteers. Every day there are folks who volunteer their time and expertise to make the Center one of the best around. Besides being “just” a volunteer, you’ll get to meet and interact with people that you may not have before. At times there are events you can volunteer for, and you typically won’t have to pay for that event.

Contact Debbie or Peggy if you are interested.

Available volunteer positions are:

Receptionist (back-up only), Kitchen Help,

Flea Market Help, and Meals-on-Wheels Drivers

Winter is coming! Visit your Center library for cozy

reading material. There’s no deadline for returning

items, so don’t worry about braving bad weather

to get them back. Pick up free seasonal word

search puzzles too.

Our Library

Our pool players, i.e. billiards players, have tournaments

throughout the year, playing other Centers’ and retirement

homes’ pool players. If you’d like to come out and play and

compete, there is a spot for you, as there are no try-outs.

CERAMICS RAFFLE UPDATE

The Ceramics Raffle winners were drawn after the

Christmas Banquet on Dec. 16. The winners are:

18” Tree — Elaine Frank

15” Tree — Jim Kain

Violet Pot — Jim Kain

Thank you to those who purchased tickets!

Einstein Nutritional Program

Our friends at Einstein Nutrition Institute will once

again have their cooking demonstration and offer

great tips on nutritional eating.

The next 2 sessions are as follows:

Tuesday, January 26 and Tuesday, February 23.

Both demonstrations start at 12:30 pm.

Sign up at the front desk to reserve your seat.

Activities Cost Increase

Due to the overhead of the Center, the cost of most of

our activities has increased starting in February 1, 2016.

Those activities that were $1 will now be $2. As you

know, we tried not to increase costs for a few years,

but we find this is now necessary.

Thank you for understanding.


The Pennridge Community Center

was founded in 1964 as the Upper

Bucks Branch of the Bucks County

Association of Retired and Senior

Citizens. The mission of the original

Center was to provide a facility for

retired and senior citizens to meet

friends and make new acquaintances.

Over the years, the mission has

changed to provide for the needs of

the senior citizens of the 21st century.

The mission has expanded to provide

relevant information, services, and

activities necessary to assure aging

with health, independence, and

dignity.

The Pennridge Community Center is one of the four full-service senior citizen centers operated by the BUCKS COUNTY ASSO-CIATION FOR RETIRED AND SENIOR CITIZENS (BCARSC), a non-profit corporation. The BCARSC is funded through the PA Department on Aging and through self-supporting projects. BCARSC is an equal opportunity employer.

All programs and services provided at the four Centers are of-fered without regard to race, religion, political affiliation, or per-sonal background.

The Pennridge Community Center serves all citizens ages 55 and older who reside in the boroughs of Dublin, Perkasie, Sellersville, Silverdale, and Telford and the townships of Bedmin-ster, East Rockhill, Hilltown, and West Rockhill.

The Pennridge Community Center is partially funded through the Bucks County Area Agency on Aging, the Pennsylvania Depart-ment on Aging, the Federal Food program, and self-supported projects.

All operational expenses are the responsibility of the Center. The Executive Board, Advisory Board, Center Manager, and Assis-tant Manager are responsible to pursue all possible sources to generate income.

As you know, we have many rentals at the Center throughout

the year. In fact, in 2015 we had 45 rentals, ranging from

parties to receptions to dances. We now have bookings into

2016 and even into 2017!

For those who may not know, we rent the Legacy Room

and the Conference Room. These rentals bring income to

the Center, which in turn helps fund many things, including

classes and activities, as they help to keep our Center

open and running.

If you know of any potential renters, please direct them our

way. We appreciate your efforts in helping the Center!
