President’s MessagePresident’s Message

Dear Friends,

November is the time to be especially

thankful, a time to remember and

to embrace those who enrich our

lives. I’m thankful for a lot of

things, but this year I’m most

thankful for all of you!

Most of us have family in different parts of the nation

and may not be able to spend Thanksgiving together. But

just remember that family isn’t always about the people in

your life who are blood relations. It’s about the people in

your life who want you to be in theirs. It’s about the people

in your life who accept you for who you are, support you

in the things you choose to do, and no matter what, are

there for you. It’s the people in your life who care for you,

respect you and who you can depend on.

The AmigOs are more than just a club. It is my hope that

most of you do or will come to see it as an extended family

of close friends.

As always, if you have any questions, club suggestions, or

just want to make a comment, please email me at:

[email protected] or speak to me in person at

any meeting.

Yours in Service and Dedication,

ROB PETRILLO

Book Club GroupThe GVR AmigOs

Book Club will be start-

ing up again on Friday,

December 7 at 10am

at the home of Mike

McGinely. We will be

discussing Killers of the Flower Moon: The OsageMurders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann. If

you would like to join the group please contact group

leader: Bill Stewart at [email protected]

In this gripping true-crime nar-

rative, at least two dozen people

were murdered from 1921 to

1926 by a killer or killers appar-

ently targeting members of the

Osage Indian Nation, who at

the time were considered “the

wealthiest people per capita in

the world” thanks to the discovery

of oil beneath their lands. The

outcry over the killings led to

the involvement in 1925 of an

“obscure” branch of the Justice

Department, J. Edgar Hoover’s Bureau of Investigation.

The Osage Murders inquiry helped Hoover to make the

case for a “national, more professional, scientifically

skilled” police force.

Special Interest GroupsSpecial Interest GroupsOne of the best things about the AmigOs Men’s Club are the unlimited number of special interest groups that we can have.

If you have a hobby, interest, or skill that at least one other member shares with you then you can start a group. Each group

can decide when to meet, how often to meet, and what to do within the group. One person is chosen as the chair and to-

gether, hopefully will expand the size of the group. Mike Malenfant has compiled the interests of our current members into

a spreadsheet. If you wish to start a group with others who share a similar interest, feel free to call or e-mail each other and

get something started. Once you have your group, contact the club’s Special Interest Committee Chair at

[email protected] to make it official.

Breakfast GroupThe AmigOs’ monthly

breakfast group meets at

9am on the first Saturday

of every month at the

Grill on the Green. Join a

large and friendly bunch of guys for good food and good

conversation. A great opportunity to meet and get to know

other members in a relaxing atmosphere. For more infor-

mation contact Manny Rivers at [email protected]

for some events,

their wives) are invited to attend our monthly day trips.

A�monthly�column�to�promote�healthier�living�for�those�over�50�years�old

Part�Five:�Diet�and�MotivationNow that you are exercising more, you will need to

support those higher activity levels with the right diet.

Diet as well as exercise can have a major impact on energy,

mood, and fitness. Many older adults don’t get sufficient

high-quality protein in their diets despite evidence suggesting

they actually need more than younger people to maintain

energy levels and lean muscle mass, promote recovery from

illness and injury, and support overall health. Older adults

without kidney disease or diabetes should aim for about 0.5

grams of protein per pound of body weight.

Vary your sources of protein. Instead of relying on just red

meat, include more fish, poultry, beans, and eggs. Reduce

the amount of processed carbohydrates you consume—

pastries, cakes, pizza, cookies and chips—and replace them

with high-quality protein. Snack on nuts and seeds instead

of chips, replace a baked dessert with Greek yogurt, swap

out slices of pizza for a grilled chicken breast and beans.

Tips�for�staying�motivated

It’s easy to become discouraged when illness, injury, or changes

in the weather interrupt your routine and seem to set you back

to square one. But there

are ways to stay moti-

vated when life’s chal-

lenges get in the way:

Focus on short-term

goals, such as improv-

ing your mood and en-

ergy levels and

reducing stress, rather

than goals such as

weight loss, which can take longer to achieve.

Reward yourself when you successfully complete a work-

out, reach a new fitness goal, or simply show up on a day

when you were tempted to ditch your activity plans. Choose

something you look forward to, but don’t allow yourself to

do it until after exercising, such as having a hot bath or a

favorite cup of coffee.

Keep a log. A training log can help you get more from your

workout. It will help you organize and save information

about your exercise routine, so you can work toward a specific

goal. It can also help you identify challenging situations and

barriers to exercise.

Record your exercises and what settings you use for each

machine. Keep track of your distance (for running, cycling,

swimming), time, intensity, milestones, and personal bests.

You may also want to keep track of your weight, pulse, diet,

time of day, calories burned, and your mood.

Out of sight, out of mind. You know that you must exercise,

but without a log to keep track it is almost impossible to

know what you have done. So keep a log as a visual reminder.

Get support. When you work out with a friend or family

member, you can encourage and motivate each other.

How�to�stay�fit�when�your�routine�changesYou're on vacation - Many hotels have fitness centers.

Bring along your exercise clothing or equipment (resistance

band, bathing suit, or walking shoes). Get out and see the

sights on foot rather than just by tour bus.

Caring for an ill spouse is taking up too much of your

time - Work out to an exercise video when your spouse is

napping. Ask a family member or friend to come over so

you can go for a walk.

Your usual exercise buddy moves away - Ask another

friend to go with you on your daily walk. Reach out to other

older adults in your area—many are in the same boat as you,

so be the one to break the ice.

Illness keeps you out of action for a few weeks - Wait

until you feel better and then start your activity again.

Gradually build back up to your previous level of activity.

You're recovering from injury or surgery - Talk with

your doctor about specific exercises and activities you can

do safely. Start slowly and gradually build up your activities

as you become stronger.

With Ira departing for 3 months Fred will take over his du-

ties as Treasurer. A discussion ensued concerning the meth-

ods to be implemented for dues renewals between now and

the end of 2018. The following was discussed and decided:

- Rob will create an electronic invoice that Fred will elec-

tronically send out to all current members during the first

week of November 2018.

- During early December a 2nd electronic notice will be sent

out to those who have not, yet, paid.

- In January 2019, individuals who have not paid will be con-

tacted individually by mail and notified if they have not paid

by the February 1st deadline specified in our by-laws they

will be terminated and removed from the roster.

There being no other items to discuss, the meeting was

adjourned at 4:35 pm. The next Board Meeting will be held

on Thursday November 29, 2018 beginning at 4:00 pm.
