Facilitated by Barbara Braham

13 people attended the January 19, 2025, meeting. Joe Shamis gave a brief presentation on Tai Chi, which he will be teaching on Fridays at 2pm in the Exercise room beginning February 7. The first class will last four weeks and the fee is $80. It is limited to 8. We will evaluate if we want to continue the class into March.

A Balance and Strength class will also begin in February. It meets on Wednesdays at 2pm in the Exercise room beginning Feb 5. Emily Smith from Focused Fitness will be the instructor. We will evaluate if we want to continue the class into March. To register for either class please let Barbara know (barbara@bbraham.com) BEFORE JANUARY 31. She will provide you with further details once registered.

Jack and Jean Ehlinger gave a demonstration of the new website and provided a one-page flow chart for how to access the website and post a member profile. If you have not yet created a Member Profile, please do so as soon as possible so that you have access to all of the offerings through Age in Place.

Lily and Ron Bertolini will continue hosting Coffee and Conversation at 9am in the lobby every Thursday through the end of February.

Ilene Onieal is our MailChimp resource and will be creating all future mailings.

At this point we have responded to the request for Socialization activity (Coffee and Conversation), and Physical activity (Balance and Tai Chi classes). Next on the agenda is Activities for Learning. Jackie Thompson will begin work on plans for educational programs including links to an upcoming OSU series on Caregiving. Marty Golubitsky has provided information on the monthly OSU Science series and offered to drive people to the event (see the Calendar for details). There are many more ideas in the works, so stay tuned! We hope to launch a monthly calendar of events by April. Please send your ideas for content to either Barbara or Jackie (contact information on the website).

The next meeting will be April 6 at 3pm in the Community Room.
