Southbury Senior Center

Please note: All programs offered are for members only unless otherwise stated. If you are interested in attending any of the programs offered during the month, please contact the Senior Center at (203) 262-0651 or stop by the front desk to sign up. It is very im-portant to sign up in advance for any Lunch & Learn Programs since a count is necessary to be sure enough food is ordered. Do not call the day before OR the day of the program asking to be placed on the list. The count is normally given four days before the scheduled program to allow them to prepare. We thank you in advance for your consideration. Also, remember to re-quest your transportation needs for any programs you sign up for. Signing up for the program does not mean you will automatically receive a ride.

The volume of riders to our transportation system continues to grow and create a great challenge in meeting all of our riders’ needs. Due to these con-tinued challenges, some recent shifts and changes have been made to help ease some of the more pro-nounced problems. Most notably, we are no longer able to provide transportation for personal care ap-pointments (hair, nails etc.) on Thursday and Friday. These rides will only be provided Monday through Wednesday. A new packet regarding our Bus Reser-vation Policies and Procedures is available at the Sen-ior Center Office.

Monday, July 9th 1:00pm –2:00pm

SOUTHBURY SENIOR CENTER! !

From Our Senior Services Director

Happy July 4th! We have settled into a very busy summer schedule with all of our regular programming as well as some spe-cial events. I hope many of you took advantage of the amazing Health and Leisure Fair that took place at the Jewish Federation at the end of June. We were proud to collaborate with the Federation to bring a great re-source fair to you! We are looking forward to a new luncheon program taking place on Mondays starting July 9th. New Oppor-tunities has offered us the opportunity to have a soup and salad bar every Monday. The program will be at noon and will run the same as café: registration with NOW, advanced registration and a suggested donation of $3.00 - $5.00. We anticipate this to be a welcome addition to our Tuesday/Thursday program. Please stop by the front office for more details. We continue to experience incredible attendance here at the Center and especially on Tuesday and Thursdays. Many of you have commented and brought your frustrations to me regarding the lack of parking. While we have no additional real estate that allows us the ability to add spaces, please know that I have been working with Principal Forish at the Pomperaug Elementary School next door to encourage parents to refrain from parking in the Center’s lot. In addition, upon completion of the repaving of the Town Hall lower lot, we will be permanently moving our buses to spaces in that lot. These new spots (the old bus spaces) will be for com-pact cares only. While it will not make a huge impact, it is my hope that the addition of some spaces will help. I would also like to gently remind everyone that the back of our parking lot is ONE WAY ONLY. Un-fortunately, recently we have had two very near misses with our buses by members driving the wrong way in the one way area. Please remember that the rear lot is one way only in the direction of PES. We are excited to be launching our volunteer program on July 1 and we appreciate everyone’s continuing patience as we start to implement two new volunteer positions here at the Center: The Welcome Desk and Hospitality. Please know that if you are interested in volunteering at the Center we continue to welcome new volunteers. Volunteers will be readily identifiable as they will have red lanyards and volunteer ID badges and those at the Welcome Desk and working in Hospitality will also be wearing red vests. We have been astounded by the level of interest to volunteer and thank you all for wanting to be an active part of your Cen-ter! I wish you a great July full of great friends and summer memories! My door is always open! All my best, Tamath


From Our Senior Center Coordinator

Welcome July!

Happy 4th of July! Congratulations to our Quilters who celebrate their 33rd year together this month!

Thanks to Lil Orlowski for her guidance and creativity each week. Join us for a presentation on Male vs Fe-

male Aging by Arthur Gottlieb with lunch sponsored by Hartford Health Care. River Glen of Southbury

sponsors an Ice-Cream-Social this month; we’ve got Leigh Henry bringing Karaoke and a new service: Re-

flexology with Csilla! Who doesn’t love a good foot massage? All that and more! Please join me in wishing

our Director of Senior Services, Tamath Rossi good luck as she competes in her third Ironman race in Lake

Placid on the 22nd. See you at the center!

Warm regards, Kathy

Page Turners

Wednesday, July 11th 1:00pm - 2:00pm

The book selection for the April discussion is The Miller’s

Valley by Anna Quindlen, which is available now at the

Southbury Public Library. Synopsis: In a small town on the verge of big change, a young woman unearths deep secrets about her family and unexpected truths about herself. Filled with insights that are the hall-mark of Anna Quindlen's bestsellers, Miller's Valley is an emotionally powerful story about a family you will never forget. Miller's Valley is a masterly study of family, memory, loss, and, ultimately, discovery, of finding true identity and a new vision of home. As Mimi says, “No one ever leaves the town where they grew up, even if they go.” Miller's Valley reminds us that the place where you grew up can disappear, and the people in it too, but all will live on in your heart forever.

with First Selectman Jeff Manville

Tuesday, July 17th 10:30am-11:00am

Southbury’s First Selectman Jeff Manville, will be joining us for coffee at the Senior Center to give you the opportunity to get to know him better. Jeff is eager for you to share your thoughts, hear your con-cerns, and answer questions about Southbury and our local government! We hope you will join us for this casual and informal round table discussion.

Library on a Cart

Wednesday, July 25th 10:30am-12:00pm

Looking for a good book to read at the pool or beach? Library on a Cart takes place at the Senior Center the 4th Wednesday of every month! Don’t have a library card? No worries! The Library can sign you up right at the Center!


Veteran’s Coffee Hour

Wednesday, July 25th 10am-11:00am

Calling all Veterans! This gathering is open to all Veterans of the Southbury Community, so

please join our Veterans Liaison for our monthly Vet-eran’s Coffee Hour here at the Senior Center. As always, coffee and pastries will be served.

New! Reflexology with Csilla (pronounced “Cheela”)

Tuesday, July 24th 1:00 – 3:30 pm

There are 7,200 nerve endings in each foot. Nerve endings in the feet have extensive interconnections through the spinal cord and brain with all areas of the body. In reflexology a practitioner will stimulate the meridians on the feet and hands to remove any blockage in the meridian with her hands. Reflexolo-gy reduces pain and stress, enhances overall circula-tion, creates deep relaxation and more!

$20 for 15 minutes feet or hand reflexology, $25 for 20 minutes feet and hand reflexology

Kindness Stones (rescheduled due to the 5/15 storm)

Thursday, July 26th 10:30 – 11:30

Join Kim Pernerewski from Com-fort Keepers of Southbury to create

“Kindness Stones”. The idea behind the kindness stones is to paint them, decorate the stones with in-spirational words and/or pictures, and then “hide” them around the community in the hopes that when they are found they make the person smile, brightening their day. We hope you’ll join us in spreading some kindness! Refreshment will be served. Please sign up at the front desk.

Limited to ten participants.

Chair Massage

Monday, July 23rd 12:00 – 1:15

Chair Massage by Debora Brockmeier, LMT Cost: $5 for 5 minutes, $7 for ten minutes

Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension. Some studies have found Massage may also be helpful for: anxiety, digestive disorders, headaches, and insomnia related to stress. Massage often produces feelings of caring, comfort and con-nection. Massage encourages wellness. Regular massage helps people feel better and can motivate them to take care of themselves with diet, exercise or other positive lifestyle changes.

Sign up at the front desk. Spaces are limited.

Male vs Female Ageing

Wednesday, July 18th 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm

Please join Arthur Gottlieb for a program that dis-cusses the many challenges men and women encoun-ter throughout the ageing process. Primary focus will be on biological differences between the sexes within the context of cultural, societal and interfam-ily expectations. Case examples and audience ques-tions will be used to frame our discussion. Discus-sions will be interactive and conducted in plain lan-guage without any unnecessary psycho-jargon. Please join us in extending heartfelt thanks to Hartford Health Care who will be provid-ing lunch for this event.

Safety is paramount and we need to know who is in the building at all times and therefore checking in BEFORE entering a class, event or even visiting in the lounge is re-quired of our members and guests to assist our staff in ensuring the ongoing safety of all of our visitors.

We love and thank you for the positive promotion of our classes and events. Many of you have invited friends to try certain classes, however we need to remind you that if a member invites a guest to accom-pany them to a class or event, that guest MUST register at the office PRIOR to entering that class/event and pay the required guest fee. The guest will be required to fill out a basic form including emergency contacts. It is encouraged for guests to plan on arriving early to allow the time to complete the forms and process their guest fee to avoid being late to the class/event.

Please remember that you must call our Transporta�on Department to make your reserva�ons for your trans-

porta�on needs. Signing up for programs does not automa�cally create the transporta�on reserva�on.!
