A Letter from the Executive Director

Hi all,
From home to home, heart to heart and one place to another…let the spirit and warmth of the Holiday season bring us closer to each other. Happy Holidays!
There are some changes you will see starting with our December newsletter. You will no longer see the term “transportation fee” listed in the description of activities
and/or events or other places throughout the newsletter. We do not have a fee solely for transportation. This new terminology will in no way change the way we do things,
just what we call it. The term “transportation fee” does not, nor has it ever, applied to any activity and/or event that we have provided. The fee that has been applied to trip
activities and/or events has been calculated based on a number of financial considerations. The fee can include an entrance fee, bus rental costs, insurance, gas pricing,
parking expense, ticket pricing etc. So, we have decided to call this an “activity fee” as it is all encompassing for the financial expense to provide the activity and/or event.
Should you have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to talk with me about it.
The Center will be closed Monday December 24th and
Tuesday the 25th in observance of the holiday. The staff and I wish you a very good holiday season!
We will be closing at 2pm on Monday, December 31 in
observance of the coming of the New Year! We will have game playing all day until 2:00 PM and the Center will provide pizza and punch at noon! Our hope is that you will
stop by with an appetizer and join us in welcoming the New Year at noon; then you can go out and do it again at
midnight! Please be sure to sign up for this event so we know how many to expect. ~Terry

With the 20th Anniversary of the Craft Show now in the past, our Volunteers of the Month are all of you – The Craft Show Volunteers. Can you believe that it all started more than 20 years ago? Some of you may wonder about how the show actually started. The show formally began back in 1992 at the old Senior Center on 3rd Street, but it is believed that the show’s roots date back as early as 1988 when the Craft & Bake Sale event was happening when the Center met in a church basement. The Bake Sale has been a big part of the show for years and by 1990 the Center had put out its first cookbook. We do have some of the best bakers in the world!! Beginning in 1998 the show was held in this current Senior Center location. There were about 20 vendors and they filled the Center and Panorama Hall. The show moved to Kirk Hall at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in 2005, and had about 35 vendors. The next year it moved to the Event Center with about 60 vendors. This year we had over 85 craft vendors and 20 non-craft vendors! The continued growth and success of the show is all because of you. Thank you to ALL the VOLUNTEERS who have made this year’s show the success that it is!!! Over 100 volunteers helped on the day before and day of the show. We had 40+ people help with the crafts that were sold at the Craft Booth; more than 75 bakers created the wonderful items sold at the Bake Sale. We had an overwhelming response to the donations for both the Silent Auction and Grandma’s Attic. The total volunteer hours for the show have not been tabulated at this time, but just to give you an idea, last year over 1200 volunteer hours were recorded just during the week of the Craft Show. This is our largest fundraiser for the Center and it is only made possible by YOU, our generous and giving volunteers.

"Walk like a penguin." Why am I talking about this
flightless bird? Walking like a penguin is a safety tip for walking on slippery surfaces during winter.
Starting with flat shoes with soles that have treads and are not smooth, point your feet slightly out, as this increases your stability. Take short, shuffle-like steps. Keep your hands out
of your pockets and at your sides; this way they help maintain your center of balance. Bulky jackets can help offer padding if you do slip. In Colorado we often
have sunshine soon after snow to help with quick melting, but be suspicious of any dark, especially shiny areas, as this could be slippery. And most importantly, concentrate on where you are walking and doing the penguin shuffle!
Achoo! We are staying indoors more and that means we are great at
spreading cold and flu viruses to each other. These nasty little organisms need a way to enter your body, so I think we have all heard the best way to reduce that....washing your hands: 20 seconds with warm water, soap
and friction is the best. One chorus and verse of Yankee Doodle Dandy is about 20 seconds....try singing it some time while you are sudsing up. A
dime size amount of waterless hand cleaner will work when no water is available when rubbed until completely gone ( no waving your hands in
the air to help them dry!). Keeping your hands out of your eyes and mouth will prevent any hitchhikers
you have picked up from catching a ride with you. If you are starting to get a scratchy throat, or feel not quite well, the best gift you can give to your
friends is to stay home. Did you know that a sneeze can project large drop-lets for 2-3 feet?(and that you can't sneeze with your eyes open?) Sneezing or coughing into your elbow rather than your hands is a better way to con-
tain particles and reduce passing them around. And if you put off getting your flu shot, do it today to help give your immune system some help in
fighting off the flu. Colorado winters are beautiful with our white pristine snow that melts
quickly (remember this is written by someone who grew up in Northern Wisconsin where the snow doesn't start melting until March), but snow means cold and ice is slippery! We can all make it
through another winter healthy and happy if we pay attention to what Mother Nature is sending our way. Have a safe and healthy Holiday Season!

Relax Restore Rejuvenate With
~ Reflexology ~
What is Foot Reflexology? Reflexology is a holistic natural therapy that works on the principle that energy balance will lead to increased vitality and
greater enjoyment of life.
How does it work? The therapist uses thumbs and fingertips to press special points of the sole and back of the foot. This special pressing stimulates the meridians (energy pathways) to flow. The meridians correspond to the organs, glands and muscles in the body. Blockades can be eliminated to allow energy to flow through the body. This helps with pain management, stress relief, and
allergies while promoting relaxation and preservation of your well being.
Cost $15 payable at time of service.

There’s nothing like visiting a mall at the holidays to see the decorations and the people!! Colorado Mills Mall is unique, because it’s made up of a variety of
discount stores, rather than the high-end stores. You’ll find deals at Target, Burlington Coat Factory
and Ann Taylor, along with mall favorites Yankee Candle, Family Christian, Lane
Bryant and Hickory Farms.

This exhibit has received rave reviews about the ancient Roman city. What nature destroyed, it also preserved.
Hundreds of exceptional artifacts offer an insider's glimpse into the daily life -- and tragic end -- of Pompeii, destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.
The Activity Fee of $29 for members ($32 for non-members) includes entrance to the museum, timed
entrance into the Pompeii exhibit, and an audio self-guided tour of the exhibit. Lunch will be on your own in the T-Rex Café at the museum. Because of a
special gift of complimentary passes, everyone participating will receive a credit for future Senior Center activities. The amount will depend on the
number of people going. It’s like a Christmas present!!!!
The play is at Lone Tree Arts Center on Wednesday, December 19th. They are offering this at half-price for
seniors at this matinee. We will leave the Center at 12:30 PM. The Activity Fee of $35 ($38 non-members)

HAPPENINGS
Kudos go to the Library volunteers for their continued support
of the Library. Before the Craft Show, we worked on weeding
through the books, keeping the new and moving out the old to
allow us to bring in new publications. Thanks to those who
have left excellent suggestions and ideas for the library.
Two new books on the New Release list are Sandra Brown's
Low Pressure and Mark Owen and Kevin Mauer's No Easy Day.
Sandra Brown's book is the story of a murder committed 18
years ago and whose evidence was destroyed by a tornado. The
younger sister, years later, writes a sensational bestselling novel
based on Susan's murder, inspired by the tragic event. What
happens when a tabloid reporter learns that the book is based on
fact keeps you in suspense. A great winter read.
No Easy Day, the Autobiography Of The Mission That Killed
Osama Bin Laden is not simply book about the mission itself,
but a study in what it takes to become and elite member of the
Navy SEALS. It received 4 1/2 stars by book critics such and
the New York Times. It is a first-person account that is not so
much about spilling the secrets but it is bent on explaining a
Seal's rigorous mindset and how that toughness is created. This
is an excellent book for those interested in current affairs and
Military History.
We will make every effort to accommodate our
growing numbers.
Sign up as early as possible - vehicle and driver
arrangements need to be made, and there may
be minimum/maximum attendance
requirements.
Will Pay sign up slots will be forfeited if payment
is not made within 2 days of signing up.
For ticketed events, we will try to obtain more
tickets. Please sign up on the waiting list.
Sign up begins at 8:30am the last Friday of the
month, unless noted. Sign up can be in person
or over the phone at 303-688-9498.

The Douglas County Lions Club participates in the international
Lions Club program which provides glasses for people in third
world countries. There is a box for your donations at the Senior
Center, so just drop them in. The glasses are cleaned, sorted
and prescriptions read by prisoners in the judicial system, and
then sent overseas to provide such joy to others.
Castle Rock’s Panera Bread and the Starbucks on
Castle Pines Parkway and Debbie Lane both donate
breads and pastries to our Center. We thank them
for their generosity and hope you will think of
them in your holiday shopping. We do enjoy their
goodies and so will others you buy for.

What a terrific response we had to this October trip. Thanks to everyone for participating. Where will we go next?
The 20th Annual Craft Show is now history. What a
day it was. More than 1500 people attended (so
many, in fact, that there was no parking available
part of the day - wow). There were 85 vendors
selling their wares, plus a new room with 20
Community Corner Vendors, making this the
biggest event ever. And our incredible volunteers
made it all possible. You were all fabulous!!
