Garden Spot Village Continuing Education JANUARY FOCUS: Quest for Learning
The soul of Quest continues to be the hundreds of participants who continually demonstrate that it is never too late to learn.
Garden Spot Village is pleased to sponsor Quest for Learning. Our sponsorship allows us to provide free educational opportunities to residents. Quest for Learning’s winter session will include a six-week course entitled Architecture, Lancaster in Style, hosted by Gregory Scott. This program can be viewed on Tuesday mornings at 9:30am starting January 3 and running through February 7, in the Theater.
About the course: Lancaster City is known as the Red Rose City. It is also the county seat and one of the oldest inland cities in the United States. But, did you know that Lancaster is home to architectural wonders and styles including the Germanic Federal, Classical Revival, Edwardian Eclectic, Dutch Colonial, English Cottage and French Eclectic styles? Learn more about Lancaster’s architecture during this six-week course.
About the host: Gregg is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, partner emeritus at RLPS Architects, columnist for LNP, and twice recipient of the Smedley Award from the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County.
About the organization: Quest for Learning is a nonprofit education-focused organization that works to plan and conduct cultural and educational programs for retired persons living in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. For the past 47 years, a team of volunteers has been coordinating seasonal seminars and workshops. Initially an outreach of the churches of Lancaster, Quest became it’s own non-profit entity in 1999. Prior to 2020, all of the workshops were hosted at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Lancaster, where up to 500 people attended the events. In 2020, the sessions were moved to virtual, allowing even more people to attend.
Quest for Learning’s website includes previous workshops, which can be viewed at your leisure.

THE START OF A NEW YEAR IS A NATURAL TIME TO CONSIDER CHANGES FOR THE BETTER!
You may have noticed a few changes to groups listed on this Social Services page.
• The names of the groups gathering on a regular basis for support, education and relationship have been changed to reflect the value of friends serving each other in community. Whether the journey is Parkinson’s disease, cognitive changes, providing care for a loved one, or any other concern, we are stronger together.
• Adjustments have been made to the frequency of meetings for some of the groups.
• Meeting dates and topics will again be published in local papers. Do you have a friend who would benefit from one of our micro-communities of support? Please extend a warm GSC invitation to them.
START 2023 OFF WELL BY MAKING SURE IMPORTANT PERSONAL INFORMATION IS UP-TO-DATE
• EMERGENCY SHEETS. Take a moment to review the information on your Emergency sheet. You will find copies in a plastic pouch located in the medicine cabinet of your master bathroom. Make any necessary changes on one of the sheets and forward to the Social Services team. We will update your information and provide three revised copies via campus mail. Keeping information current will help you get the best care possible in an emergency situation.
• NEW INSURANCE CARDS. Did you change insurance plans during Medicare Open Enrollment? Please either bring or provide a copy of any NEW Medicare supplemental or Advantage plan insurance cards to the social service office to be scanned. We do not need Medicare Part D cards.

WELLNESS
10 WINTER WELLNESS TIPS
1. TAKE A WALK , maybe only five minutes, but get up and get walking.
2. BE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND ; give yourself a compliment every morning.
3. WEAR CLOTHES THAT FIT and make you feel good.
4. PLAY, MOVE, (EXERCISE) just 5 to 10 minutes a few times a day (during commercials sneak in some exercise).
5. DRINK WATER. Since you tend to get dehydrated during the winter months, you experience chapped lips & dry skin. Try to drink just one more glass of water a day with a goal of 3-5 8-ounce glasses a day.
6. LEARN SOMETHING NEW; a new language, how to knit etc. Always be reading, watching and experimenting.
7. GIVE YOURSELF A STAR when you reach a goal, try something new, feel great, look great, have fun or have a good day.
8. STAND AND SIT UP STRAIGHT; it’s great for your abs and your confidence.
9. MAKE A WISH LIST, not resolutions for the upcoming year. Try to make a small change every week to make your wishes come true.
10. SMILE , even when you don’t feel like it. It will improve your spirits.
