55 & Beyond: Joslyn and Tuttle October Newsletter

OCTOBER UPDATES

Fall is upon us. We hope you were able to escape the heat this summer. Cooler weather is coming and we couldn’t be more excited!

We want to thank everyone that attended our Rock-A-Hula event in September. It had been a few years since the last one and it looked like everyone enjoyed themselves.

There are a few new classes that have been added to our centers. Tuttle will start a Jewelry Making Class that begins on October 4. You can find more information on page 3. Joslyn will be starting a meditation class. Calm Mind with Catherine will be on the 2nd and 4th Mondays beginning October 24. Catherine is a certified yoga and meditation practitioner for over 30 years. We are excited to have her at Joslyn.

October is filled with events. We will have a presentation on Estate Planning, Trusts/Wills & Advance Directives and another on Fraud Protection, Senior Scams & Identity Theft. The Center for Health Care Rights will be at Joslyn to help you get ready for Medicare’s yearly open enrollment period. Tressa, who is a DMV Senior Driver Ombudsman, will be at Joslyn giving a presentation on DMV resources and information for older adults. For more information on all of these informative presentations and more, take a look at our Events page.

Tuttle will be having a Halloween Celebration with the famous DJ JD Mate on October 31 at 10:00am. There will be costume prizes. For more information, call Tuttle at 818.238.5367.

Is everyone ready to put on their dancing shoes? Optum will be sponsoring a 50’s Sock Hop Dance on November 7 so mark your calendars. We will have more info soon. Have a fun and safe Halloween!

FULL BODY CONDITIONING WITH CHARLEEN

Tuesdays at Joslyn

10:45am-11:30am

In this exercise class, Charleen will focus on the whole body which includes the cardiovascular system (heart and lungs). joint mobility, and muscle/vibe strengthening exercises. A 1-3 lb hand weight or a resistance band is needed. This class is great for those who are just starting to exercise and also those that exercise consistently. The focus of Full Body Conditioning is to increase mobility in the joints, increase heart rate to strengthen the lungs and heart, and strengthen muscles that in turn increase bone density to increase overall function and balance of the body.

CALM MIND WITH CATHERINE

2nd and 4th Mondays at Joslyn

10:15am-11:00am

Fellow Seniors, join me for my meditation class “Calm Mind With Catherine” at the Joslyn Adult Center. A yoga and meditation practitioner for 34 years, I am certified to teach both and am looking forward to sharing the benefits of meditation at Joslyn. The class will introduce simple techniques that will support your journey while blending gently in with your personal beliefs and desires for a healthier, happier life. Beginning Monday, October 24th, we will meet from 10:15am - 11:00am the 2nd & 4th Mondays of each month.

TIP OF THE MONTH

With the holidays rapidly approaching, we may be tempted to reach for a sweet treat. Choosing the right ones is key. Research shows that minimally-processed chocolate of 70% cacao or less may be beneficial for health. See the positive effects above.
