Please consider paying your 2019 Senior Club dues to get ahead of the game. The Board voted to increase the dues to $10.00 this year. We would like to remind people that our CLUB dues have NEVER increased though the cost of supporting the Center and the responsibilities we have committed to, have. This is a minimal increase for an entire year’s membership and helps our senior center tremendously.

Many of the most famous figures in Hollywood history were desperate refugees fleeing Nazi persecution. Among those receiving special attention here include the likes of Fritz Lang, Ernst Lubitsch, and Billy Wilder as well as later stars who escaped (or not) the ravages of World War II, people such as Hedy Lamarr, Audrey Hepburn, and Leslie Caron. Jared Day, taught American history at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh for sixteen years.

The Link Between Nutrition and Your Health & How Nutrition Response Testing Can Help You! Nutrition response testing is a non-invasive system of analyzing the body to determine the underlying causes of non-optimal health. Energy flows exist between all parts and organs of the body. With nutrition response testing the practitioner does an analysis by contacting an extended arm with one hand while contacting a specific reflex with another hand. If the tested reflex is stressed, your nervous system will respond by reducing energy to the extended arm. Based on these results body systems can be targeted and supported with a designed clinical nutrition program. The nutrition program consists of whole food supplements and diet modification that enables the body to repair itself and become healthier. Cara Johnson will be here on Wednesday, December 5th to run this free workshop. Please call (860)434-1605 ext. 241 to register for this program.
