WHAT’S NEW AT THE MANZANITA CENTER?

Jul 18, 2003

Well, 1ots of stuff, of course. For example, they?’re offering an excellent opportunity again for you to gain or improve your computer skills. Basic and intermediate classes will be held on Tuesdays, starting September 3, at the Center. These are open to everyone, not just seniors, for a $40 fee for four classes. If you miss the September sessions, call early to register for October.

The Center has an interesting focus on health issues in September. Tuesday, the 5th, at 9:30 marks the introduction to a presentation on arthritis and pain management, for which support group meetings are planned monthly, beginning on September 20, from 9:30 to 11:30. Blood pressure clinics will be held on the 12th and 24th from 9:00 to 11:00, and you might want to stay around on the 24th for Health Net?’s discussion of post-traumatic stress disorders and sleep disorders, at 10:00, or the presentation by a nutritionist at 11:00.

Country western fans will want to circle September 18 on their calendars. The afternoon dance, starting at
1:30, will feature your favorite country western tunes selected by disc jockey, Terry Lutz. The charge is $3 per person and this event also is not limited to seniors. Other fun events in September include a ?“Celebrate the American Spirit?” party on September 11 to honor our country. A live entertainment group, the ?“Riverboat Strummers?” will provide patriotic music from 9:00 to 1:00, and lunch will be served as usual. And if Chinese food is your favorite, you?’ll want to join the Supper Club on the 19th (chopstick expertise not required!).

Have we convinced you there?’s always a little something for everyone at the Manzanita Center? Call them at 262-4949 if you?’d like more information, or visit them at 3581 W. Northern Avenue and see for yourself. . . ☻
