The Power of Gratitude

According to Dr. Ira Byock, author of "The Four
Things that Matter Most", expressing and receiving
gratitude are critical to our health and quality
of life. In this season of giving and thanksgiving,
lets explore the benefits of practicing gratitude
in our lives. When we focus on our blessings, our
problems seem to lose strength, and we can bring
more joy into our lives. Peggy Arnold, M.A., Program
Coordinator of AgeWell, and Brandy Queen, LPC,
Seniors Counselor, invite you to join us in learning
more about the power of gratitude.

Activity #185002.02 Thursday, February 12
Time: 9:30 - 11:00 a.m.
Please note: These are separate workshops, not a series.

and your physician, relieving them of the uncertainty
of how you want to be treated. In this workshop,

will, Five Wishes) and provide you with the necessary
materials. Facilitated by Peggy Arnold, M.A., Program

Youve Got a Lot of Nerve(s)!
Activity #185023.00
Time: 9:30 11:00 a.m.
Our nervous systems are vast, complex control and
communication networks that connect us both
internally and with the outside world. Until something
goes wrong with this system, we tend to take it for
granted, but a diagnosis of stroke or neuropathy, of
sciatica or Parkinsons, or one of many other nervous
system disorders can suddenly throw us into a tailspin.
Pierre Pavot, D.O., Board Certifed Adult Neurologist,
will share information about common and some
less common neurological problems that arise in
later adulthood. Dr. Pavot treats patients with nearly
any neurological problem, but his areas of interest
include neuromuscular disorders and sports related
concussion.
What Happens If My Heart Stops?
Activity #185024.00
Time: 9:30 11:00 a.m.
February is Heart Month, so what better time to learn
more about cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)? Is
it just like how its portrayed on TV? How efective is
it really, especially with older adults? What is a CPR
Directive and when would you want one? Our panel
of expertsa paramedic, an LUH Emergency Dept.
doctor, and a primary care physicianwill help us
understand the reality of CPR and weigh all the facts,
so we can make well-informed decisions regarding
this procedure. Please note: This is NOT a program
to teach you how to perform CPR!

File of Life
If you are home alone and suddenly become ill,
how would the paramedics know your specific
medical needs and whom to call for you? If you are
in a car accident and unconscious, how would the
emergency responders know about your allergies
and medical status? You can prepare yourself for
these medical emergencies by posting the File
of Life prominently on your refrigerator. First
responders are trained to look for this information
on refrigerators. Also, consider carrying the File
of Life in your car and in your wallet or purse.
This handy, concise card contains information
that details your medical conditions, allergies,
and medications. It also lists your emergency
contacts and insurance information. You can get
your free cards from Boulder County CareConnect,

"On the Drawing Board" for 2016
Rhine River Cruise from Amsterdam, including a pre-cruise tour of
Keukenhof Gardens in April 2016
Why are we already talking about 2016?! European River Cruises are in high demand, and since the ships
have a limited number of staterooms they sell out very quickly. We have had many requests for a Rhine River
Cruise, so we are considering a cruise that will include ports such as:
Amsterdam, Holland including a visit to the incredible Keukenhof Gardens with more than seven million
tulips, dafodils and hyacinths.
Cologne, Rudesheim and Heidelberg, Germany and Strasbourg, France
Pricing and details will not be available until 2015. However, since space is so limited we are taking names
now so you can be the frst to be notifed when the fnal itinerary and pricing are released. If you are
interested in the Rhine River cruise, please call Gold Key Travel at 303-776-7024.

Longmont Meals on Wheels, Inc.
Longmont Meals on Wheels (LMOW) opened its
doors in 1969 and has been located at the Longmont
Senior Center (SC) since 1987. LMOW delivers meals to
older adults and people with disabilities and served
over 94,000 meals in 2013. All meals are charged
on a sliding fee scale based upon an individuals
monthly income and ability to pay. In March 2014,
LMOW delivered its 2 millionth meal and served the

the Park View caf dining room located at the Senior

meals to homebound persons in our community, this
onsite-prepared hot lunch is also served at the Center
from 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Monday Friday. For
over 25 years LMOW has not had to increase the cost
to older adults. However, with the increased cost of
food, an increase in the base price range for dining
room meals will go into efect January of 2015. This
slight adjustment will be a range of $1.50 - $5.00 for
older adults and $6.00 for anyone under the age of
55. LMOW is committed to ensuring that older adults
have meals that are nutritious, taste good, and at an
afordable price. If this cost increase creates a burden
for you, please be sure and visit with a LMOW staf
person to make arrangements that will work for
you. Please contact LMOW at 303-772-0540 for more

General Information
i
A Little About The Senior Citizens Advisory Board Members:
Sue Heinritz "I am nearing the end of my term on the Advisory Board. It has been
an energizing experience to be involved in city government, policy and planning for the
Center, and helping staff carry out programs. My education in occupational therapy and
work experienced enhanced my ability to contribute."
Maureen Denig "It has been my pleasure to serve since June, 2011. My husband and I
moved to Longmont in 2008. When I became "old enough", I participated in a snowshoe
event. It was a great experience to leave my office desk, where I work as a travel agent,
to experience the outdoors with a friendly group of people and experienced leaders.
Through my work on the Board, I have come to appreciate all that the Senior Center has to
offer. Working with the board members and the great staff of the Senior Center has been
very rewarding and enlightening."
Brenda Ourada "This is my third year on the Board. The citizens of Longmont can be
very proud of the services and programs offered by the Longmont Senior Center. After
being laid off from IBM, I got a master's degree in gerontology during which I interned at
the Longmont Senior Center with Veronica Garcia, Resource Specialist. I would encourage
any citizen to participate on an advisory board."
Mary Sean OHalloran "I am in my second year serving on the Board. I have learned
so much about the resources at this fabulous community resource, about Longmont city
government, and about area agencies. I am on the faculty at UNC. My work on the board
has enhanced my awareness about older adults and this has, in turn, contributed to my
work as a professor of graduate psychology and as a mental health provider. "
Emily Sciortino "This is my second year on the Board and I have learned a lot about
Longmont. I have been impressed with the inter-action Longmont has with its citizens
when making decisions for the city. After college I worked as a chemist in Chicago, then
stayed at home raised five children. I later returned to work as a secretary. When I retired,
I moved to Longmont to be near my son and his daughters."
Arlene Poplewko "I came to Longmont from New York in 1965 and was a stay home
mom until my youngest turned 10. Then I worked for various companies and agencies and
later served as a volunteer Victim Assistance Advocate and for the Salvation Army. I have
served several terms on the Senior Citizens Advisory Board. It has been a great experience
being part of the Senior Center and watching it grow. The Center offers much to our senior
population and the best thing is aging well in our city."
Juana Mendoza "This my first year on the board. It has been a nice experience to be a
member of this board. I'm very involved with my church family whom mostly are seniors. I
have the privilege to learn and understand the needs of our older adults."
