NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
As of July 15th I have been sitting on the Grand Jury in Ontario County...(see story here.)
WELLNESS UPDATE
Marge Gile was unable to attend Thursday’s meeting, not feeling well.
HEALTHY MOMENT
Grace Norcott demonstrated the balance exercise of standing on one foot. For some people one foot is easier than another. This is a good exercise for me with occasional vertigo and was actually recommended by my “spin doctor” (Newark hospital’s physical therapist).
Grace works with Seniors at the Community Center. The group is called Silver Sneakers - doable exercise for people MY AGE. Many insurances cover this activity.
GARY’S DAD JOKES
Football player’s wife: I hate it when my husband calls leftovers “replays”
TV executive’s wife: My husband calls them “reruns”
The Advantages to hiring Seniors:
At staff meetings, they say “yes,Sir” or “ Yes Ma am”, instead of “Yo, I’m down with that.”
My husband and I call each other at least five times a day. It’s not as romantic as it sounds. He calls me so I can find my phone and I call him so he can find his!

HAPPY MOMENTS

SPEAKER JJ COTTER
Jean Bendix introduce our speaker, JJ Cotter, the director of Habitat for Humanity in Wayne County. Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical, Christian housing ministry dedicated to eliminating substandard housing and homelessness world wide. Home owners work alongside volunteers which is called ‘sweat equity’ and they must repay a mortgage through an affordable payment plan.
Newark Rotary was pleased to donate $1,000 to this worthy cause.
Next week we will hear from Sebastian and Judy Schwartz on the Sudan Lost Boy Outreach.
