The conversion of old Fire Station Number 3, in Clark Centennial Park, by the Community Services Department of the City of Longmont is progressing. The architectural plans are complete and will now be used to develop construction plans. Then, a contractor will be selected. The facility will have an exercise room and another room which can be made into two smaller rooms for classes and other activities. Barring unforeseen problems, I would expect a 2013 opening. The Friends of the Senior Center have pledged up to $100,000 to support the renovation project. Your donations are at work to improve and expand the facilities of the Senior Center! Longmont has a great Senior Center which has excellent support from the City of Longmont. The Senior Center has a superior staff and is enthusiastically supported by The Friends of the Senior Center. Longmont has a growing senior population and usage of the Senior Center has been increasing each year. There are numerous activities, as outlined in this newsletter. Your donations help to maintain a first class senior support system. Donations can come from individuals or businesses. All donations are welcome. There are many forms in which a donation can be made, including cash, stocks, bonds, bequests, gift annuities, and many others. Gifts can also be made in memory of a friend or a loved one.

Berger) prides himself on his act as an amateur stage magician with tricks that include sawing a women in half and whipping a bouquet of flowers out of nowhere. Unfortunately, circumstances arent in his favor: he still lives with his parents, and his most promising gigs consist of entertaining children at birthday parties; to make matters worse, a nasty accident during preparations for a magic act caused Tomas to injure an eye. Now, Tomas foresees just one chance to convince his parents of his future as a magician and woo the girl of his dreams at the same time: entertaining the crowd at his fathers 60th birthday party.

Protecting Older Adults

Abuse of elders is a concern in our community. Sadly, we have older adults in our community who are being financially exploited, neglected, and emotionally, sexually and physically abused. Sometimes the abuse and exploitation may be difficult to identify. It is possible that you know someone who has been victimized and you may be having difficulty identifying it. Perhaps youve encountered a situation or heard information that just doesnt feel or seem right. Or maybe youve noticed unexplained bruising, unexpected weight loss, or a "new friend" spending lots of time with someone. Or perhaps someone you know has become increasingly isolated and youre not sure why. These are just a few examples of what elder abuse may look like. As a friend or family member you are in a position to notice changes in an elder who is close to you. You can help; CALL Adult Protective Services, 303-441-1441, when you believe an older person is being taken advantage of, abused, or at risk of self-harm.

Trips Trip & Registration Information

Trips are scheduled on various modes of transit: mini buses, school buses and coach buses. The style of bus is dependent upon cost, size of group, time and distance traveled, as well as availability of buses. We always try to be cost efficient and comfort oriented. Departure times are definite. We do not wait for participants past the designated departure time either from the Senior Center or returning to the Senior Center. Return times are approximate. Please do not schedule appointments close to the return times, we never know when delays may occur. Bus seat assignments are made at the time of check-in. Participants draw a seat number for themselves and one other person (shared seating). These assigned seats are used both going to and from the trip destination. For extended trips, you will draw new seats each day. Cancellations must be received by the dates printed in The GO if a full credit or refund is to be received. After that date, a partial credit or refund may be issued only if the spot is resold. Cancellations must be processed through the Senior Center. When possible, the staff will attempt to resell your spot to the first person on the waiting list, or if it is last minute and the Senior Center is closed, you may give your ticket to a person of your choice. Please call 303-651-8442, if you do so.

The Pepper Pod, built in 1913 by the Peppers family, began as a modest cafe on old Main Street in Hudson. Soon however, flourishing business necessitated a larger building, so one was built next to Highway 6 where business thrived, making it a landmark on the plains northeast of Denver. As they say, We arent fancy, because people need more than that from us, and weve been pleasing people for over 98 years. So sit up straight, dont talk with your mouth full, and by all means, leave room for dessert.
