COMMUNICATION CORNER

The charter of Olivedale Senior Citizens of

Fairfield County stipulates an age requirement of

55 or older to become a member. Therefore, policy

states non-members may not participate in

activities at Olivedale except when a person is age

55 or older and visiting for the first time with

another member or the activity is open to the

public. We always welcome guests to accompany

members for a one time visit before paying the

annual member fee in order to make an informed

decision in becoming a member of one of the

premier senior centers in the country.

Summer Time

Now that summer is here, just a reminder that

children or young adults (anyone not a member or

ineligible for membership—under 55) are not

permitted to wait for parents or grandparents

during scheduled activities except when the

activity is open to the public. Public events such

as the fish fry, pancake breakfast or Family Fun

Day are great times to show younger family

members what Olivedale is all about. Although

dances are open to the public, for safety issues

there is an age limit of 18 or older to participate.

Coffee Club

Join the conversation covering the

economy, interest rates and various other

investment topics with the monthly financial

discussion group at 9:00a on Friday, June 2.

Contact Allison Spangler at 740-653-2308 for

questions.

Fish Fry

Be sure to mark Tuesday, June 27

on your calendar for the delicious

Olivedale fish fry. An $8 ticket

entitles you to a meal consisting of a serving of

fish (2 generous pieces) with a baked potato,

coleslaw and the option to have an additional 2

piece serving of fish if you desire. A child’s ticket

is $4 and we’ll be serving from 4:30-6:30p (take

out is available for one serving of fish). Tickets

can be purchased at the office for pre-sale and

may be limited at the door. Bring a friend, cause

the fish fry is open to the public!

2nd Tuesday Lunch

In honor of all fathers we would like

you to join us Tuesday, June 13

for a Father’s Day cookout. We will

be grilling cheeseburgers served

with sweet macaroni salad, watermelon and

apple pie for dessert. Serving will be from

11:30a -12:30p and the cost is only $6. Don’t

forget to make your reservation by Friday,

June 9.

Saturday Night Dances

Keep Olivedale in mind when you make your

Saturday night dinner dance plans. Our kitchen

opens at 6:00p on Saturday evenings when there

is a scheduled dance. Food items and beverages

Fit Tip:

We all know the aging process

brings about structural and

functional changes to the body,

but what exactly can we do to

make the most of our later years

of life? The answer is easy,

exercise, exercise, exercise.

We cannot stop Mother Nature's

clock, but we can slow it down.

Physical activity can help to

promote major health benefits

such as: increased cardiovascular

fitness by 25%; increased

flexibility and muscle strength;

decreased depression; weight loss;

lower blood pressure; reduction of

the risk of heart disease; stronger

immune system; prevention of

bone loss. Here are some tips to get you started:

Decide for yourself why you want

to exercise. An excellent reason is

to maintain good health and

independence. Make a

commitment to exercise on a

regular basis and stick to it!

Always start with a warm-up and

end with cooldown exercises. Do

what is comfortable; stop if you

feel pain. Remember, your

comfort range changes daily, so

don't get discouraged if you can't

do the same amount of exercise as

you did the day before. If, after

exercising, you find that fatigue

or discomfort last longer than two

hours, cut back on your session

the next day but don't stop. Try

limiting the number of repetitions

for that muscle group, then move

on to a different set of muscles.

Don't overwork muscles; don't go

for the burn! Concentrate on

exercises that improves your

range of motion. Accept your

limitations. Instead of focusing on

what you can't do, think about

what you can. The most

important thing to remember is

don't give up!
