VALLEY SOCIAL CLUB
NEWS LETTER FOR MARCH 2016
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
Hello club members.
Well after a brief but cold winter I can finally see flowers coming up
through what little snow I have left in my yard. We had a very busy
winter in the club. The holidays seemed to be good to everyone and
we had very good turn outs on activities because the weather was so
mild all the way into February. Coming up this month
is our annual St. Pats Day Lunch as well as lots of
Enlightened Lunch, crafts and other fun stuff. Stop on
by and take part in what the club has going on.
FROM THE DESK OF THE VICE PRESIDENT
Greetings Fellow Club Members !

you flip over to page four I have an article about some thoughts I

SLYVIA SAYS
For March this year Easter comes Early. So I’m actively doing what good Catholics
doing something for Lent is an active sacrifice to prove my commitment to my higher
power. Others of you also practice this tradition. So all our members who celebrate
Easter Have a blessed Holiday! But beware the Ides of March are upon us all as well.
This month while I’m busy preparing for Easter we have some things at the club that
will prove to be a good time to enjoy also. March also brings with it warmer weather
the old saying comes in like a lamb and out like a lion or vise versa. We shall see!
What looms ahead. The season changes and daylight saving time happens on March13th too. We will be having our annual St. Patrick Day Dinner. Always a big turn out
and staff does a great job putting that event together. There will be a Wii bowling
tournament slated early in the month. That will bring out a bunch of us to raise money
for the Domestic Violence program. We do this in conjunction with the bowl- a- thon
day that certain clients who don’t have transportation to Milford can still feel they
contributed and participated in some way for a good cause. Those that attend the Wii
tourney will be asked for a $5 donation that will include food and a T- shirt. It shouldbe a fun day and all for a good cause. Ladies group is going good and I’m really
enjoying that too. I’m sure there will be other things to sign for so keep checking the
board for thing to do. Just a reminder a kind gesture can go a long way so keep your
fellow club members in your thoughts as we bowl to benefit this month.

YOUNG ADULTS CORNER
"The squirrel, jumping from limb to limb, trusts his nature likeno human ever could." By Garry Fitchett Submitted By Riley C.To be compared to a squirrel may seem a little odd, but lastmonth YAS took a trip where we learned to trust in our balance,our breathing, and our bodies. We went to Jordan's furniturestore where we were able to do It’s Adventure Ropes Course
after getting harnessed up we all made our way to the top, and soon froze while seeing the obstacles and the height. After trying to persuade each other
to go first, I stepped out onto one direction of the course, and started to go.Even though it was terrifying to be first, as I took a deep breath in I'd move,and just focus on getting across. Feeling how to move on the ropes without
stepping too hard onto one side or the other put me more in tune with how I was carrying myself. Soon, it became easier and easier, and I watched othersstart to pick up their speed to see how fast they could get through the course
without falling. The zip lines were what scared everyone at first but soon we
realized they were the easiest thing to do. We learned to ease into a trust withour movements, which put more trust in ourselves. With self trust, you cando anything!
HAPPY 5TH ANNIVERSARY !
On Thursday February 11, 2016 we celebrated our Evening Social
Anniversary. Five years ago we had our first “Sober Social” which we calledit then. That evening 2/9/11 we had 4 participants and the week after we
