Roseville Area Senior Program Newsletter

Proud to be a part of Roseville Area Schools and Community Education

Volunteers from UCare gave of their time and talent assisting with set up, decorating, serving, and cleaning up. UCare was a major sponsor of the RASP annual Volunteer Recognition Breakfast. A special thank you to Roseville Mayor Dan Roe, Falcon Heights Mayor Peter Lindstrom, and Roseville School Board members Curtis Johnson and Todd Anderson for welcoming and serving all of the RASP volunteers.

Volunteers Put Compassion Into Action

Jerry Anderson and Randi VanBrocklin were presented the Distinguished Volunteer Service Awards by Superintendent Aldo Sicoli for their many years of service to the Roseville Area Senior Program. Jerry has been booking the bands for the ballroom dances for more than 20 years and Randi has volunteered in various capacities, including being a receptionist in the RASP office for 16 years. The Volunteer Recognition Breakfast was held June 13 at the Fairview Community Center.

It’s all about YOU! -- That is why one of the primary goals of the Roseville Area Senior Program Vision Plan 2017-2020 is to provide programming that meets the needs and expectations of our active adults. You spoke and we listened, and we continue to listen. This fall, RASP has several talks and classes focused on timely issues for older adults. Check them out in this issue of Seasons. From Fighting Fraud and Downsizing Made Easy to Stepping On: Strategies for Fall Prevention and Living Well with Diabetes, there is something for everyone. You’ll find more information on pages 14 & 15.

RASP is partnering with AARP, the Roseville Fire Department, Ramsey County Public Health, Lyngblomsten and the Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging to bring you the Healthy Aging Forum Thursday, October 18, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., at Fairview. This is free and open to everyone. There will be a variety of sessions offered, and an assortment of topics, which include: brain health, heart health, sitting exercise, fire prevention and safety in the home, diabetes health, and more.

Thanks to a grant from the B-Dale Club, Do Good Roseville and RASP are bringing you the free Aging with Gusto series on Thursdays, September 13-27 (3 sessions). This is a program developed by the Vital Aging network. It is an opportunity to examine your views on aging and listen to the views of others. You’ll learn to understand the influences on your views, including the impact of widespread biases and misconceptions about people as they age.

As you may know, most of the RASP talks and classes are brought to you at no cost (or a minimal fee). We are proud to be a valuable resource to the community, and we will continue to offer programming that enhances and improves your life. If you have an idea for a talk/class, give me a call or send an email.

Looking at the theme for this column, you can certainly say that RASP is a “classy” organization for active adults! – I think I heard a groan…That’s my cue to close! See you in a class or talk soon!

Norm

As a child, I remember listening to my family reminisce about their lives with laughter and tears. My grandmother’s tape recorded story of emigrating from Russia to the prairies of North Dakota is a treasure to me. Some of my favorite stories were from my father’s conversations when we walked around the cemetery. His version of the truth of the deceased was funnier than most comedians. As I grew older, those stories became part of who I am and where I came from.

Storytelling gives us a new perspective on life. We learn that we’re not the only ones who experience disappointment and loss. Through this art form, we see the world more clearly and it gives us more compassion for others. We keep our family members alive through our stories and lessons we learned from them. It helps us overcome the hard times and motivates us to confront new challenges with a positive lens. Storytelling also helps us to forgive ourselves, and it can help with grieving. Sometimes, it’s how we tell the story to ourselves and others that make us realize that we don’t have to take everything in life so seriously.

Older adults can benefit from sharing their life stories. Since they have more life experiences, they should be encouraged to share them through storytelling, writing or videos. They have the treasure chest of our cultural and ethical values

that we want to pass on to our children and future generations.

Ideas to get the stories started:

1. Write a story that best defines you and your life. Re-read it a few days later and embellish it by using your senses and all your feelings.

2. Life story writing classes are offered at local colleges, community education programs and libraries. Roseville Area Community Education will offer The Stories We Leave Behind: An Introduction, Monday, September 17, 6:00-8:00 PM at Fairview Community Center. You will learn concepts and techniques to preserve your best stories.

3. Legacy Letter or Ethical Wills – this form will help you impart your values to the next generations. To learn more, visit: www.Life-Legacies.com.

Join us Wednesday, September 12th, at the Market Place Talks, 9:30-10:30 am to hear a wonderful speaker presenting “Telling Your Story.” It will be held at Little Canada Bingo Hall, 2900 Rice Street, Little Canada.

On July 6, the Roseville Area Senior Program lost a kind and stalwart friend, volunteer and supporter. Marge Wackerfuss was a driving force behind the Roseville Craft & Gift Shoppe, and the Annual Holiday Sales for more than 12 years. Her visits to the RASP office (in her stocking feet) when she was working in the Craft Shoppe were always the highlight of the day for everyone, not to mention the warm conversation and laughs.

A list of those who donated to RASP in memory of Marge will be published in the November/December Seasons.
