For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,
in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Colossians 1:13-14
Are you getting used to saying “primetime” instead of “Elderlife” yet? I know it’s going to take me a
while. Last month, our events taught us a lot about the history of Cleveland. Our first event included a trip
to Merwin’s Wharf, where we learned the history of the Flats. It was a beautiful day and we had a great
meal. It’s great to see how our city of Cleveland is becoming quite the place to be! At the September’s
Federated Forum, we found out at one time, Cleveland was a pretty dangerous place. Rebecca
McFarland, a Cleveland historian, gave her presentation on the life and times of Eliot Ness, a noted law
enforcement icon. He did so much for Cleveland and it was so sad to find out he died penniless.
One another note, remember to check out our Bulletin Board in Fellowship Hall next time you are at
Church. Marie Powers and her sister Anita Colitti did their magic again and showed how creative they are.
Thank you Marie and Anita! At some of the primetime functions coming up we will have pictures left over
from past bulletin boards that you can take home. Thank you to Bill Mason and Claudia O’Brien for taking
these great photographs!
Better get those walks in before it gets too cold. To stay active in these colder
months come join our great crew of walkers out at the Family Life Center weekdays
from 8:00 am-9:00 am. It’s a great way to get your day going!
God Bless,
Dolly Herschel

Health & Wellness Initiative
by Duncan E. McVean, B.S., R.Ph. M.S., M.B.A., Ph.D
Health & Wellness Initiative Chair
Last month, I encouraged you to get immunized. Since that time, I
learned that my 52 year old daughter who lives in Camus, WA, had
recently recovered from Whooping Cough. Yes, she had had Whooping
Cough, in spite of the fact that she had been immunized as a child
against pertussis. Her physician said that she should have received a
booster shot after 30 years.
So, I recommend to you that the next
time you visit your personal physician you
discuss your immunization history and check which ones are now in
need of boosters, and which ones require an annual re-immunization.
Also, if you haven’t already done so, be sure to get the vaccine for
pneumonia (Prevnar 13) and the vaccine for Shingles.

South Africa Trip in November – Are you Interested?
Dolly Herschel and Rev. Mark Simone are organizing an adult trip to South Africa. This will be 1/3
mission, 1/3 cultural exchange and education and 1/3 leisure trip. Travel dates are around November
9-21, 2015. We will fly from Cleveland to Cape Town, and do most of our major work in Port
Elizabeth. Near Cape Town we will see the wine lands, visit the Cape of Good Hope where the Indian
and Atlantic Oceans meet, and go to the Addo Elephant Reserve. We will travel by bus along the
Garden Route to Port Elizabeth, one of the most beautiful drives in the world
due to the many miles along the Indian Ocean.
We will work with the students of the Human Dignity Center and we may be
able to build a small house or two. This is an adults-only trip, not a youth trip,
open to any Federated member or friend. The approximate cost, inclusive of
airfare, will be around $3500. If interested, please contact Mark Simone,
Students at the Human Dignity
[email protected] or Dolly Herschel at [email protected] or

We will travel to Dunham Tavern Museum, the oldest
building still standing on its original site in the city of
Cleveland. Once a stagecoach stop on the BuffaloCleveland-Detroit post road, the 1824 home of Rufus and
Jane Pratt Dunham is now a designated Cleveland
Landmark. Additionally, it was added to the National
Register of Historic Places on July 25, 1974. In stark
contrast to the cityscape that surrounds it, the museum
and its gardens offer a glimpse of history and insight into
the lifestyles of early Ohio
settlers and travelers. Cleveland
landscape architect, A. Donald
Gray purchased the home in
1932 restoring the 19th century
architecture and replanting the
orchard. Amazingly, this
residence has survived through
Euclid Avenue’s rise and fall. Stagecoach stops to car
dealerships, Millionaire’s Row to urban renewal . . .
Dunham Tavern has remained. We’ll stop for lunch at
Michaelangelo’s in Little Italy on the way!
Where: Dunham Tavern Museum
Time: Meet at the FLC for 11:15 am departure.
Back at 4:00 pm.
Reservations: Payment by October 28, 2015
Cost: $14 includes guided tour. Lunch on your own at
Restaurant.

Gather at 1:30 pm for
refreshments
Program at 2:00 pm
Bell St., Fellowship Hall
Speaker: Jungle Terry
Jungle Terry has been educating and entertaining

which he and his children have raised from babies.
Jungle Terry has been working with animals all his
life and gives performances at special events such as
company picnics, parties, and demos at libraries and
schools.
We will explore the mysteries of the jungles and
discover things about the creatures that inhabit them.
Learn more about these animals during this hands-on
session. Environmentalists all over the world have been
working on ways to protect our environment and the
animals in it. We need to gain a better understanding of
the animal kingdom and of what can be done to help
preserve animal life. COME AND JOIN US FOR FUN AS
WE GO ON SAFARI!

Volunteering — By Gloria Terlosky
They say love
makes the world go
around. But I have to
add to that statement
by saying volunteers
keep it moving in the
right direction.
Companies and
organizations could not function as well without their
volunteers. They are everywhere, in hospitals, churches,
animal rescue, airports, schools, government and assisted
living facilities. The list goes on and on.
I personality have been a life long volunteer. My
volunteering has taken me to battered women shelters,
cancer treatment centers, handicapped facilities, animal
rescue centers, and churches. For the last ten years I have
spent time volunteering at Light of Hearts Villa in Bedford
in their Cozy Corner Shop.
But this week at Light of Hearts Villa was a little
different. All the volunteers at the Villa were treated to a
special volunteer appreciation luncheon. After lunch we
were asked to go outside and form a line, we were each
handed a small triangular shaped box. Inside we were told
was a surprise. We were told to make a wish and pull open
the tab on the side of the box.
As I pulled the tab and the box opened up, a beautiful
orange and black monarch butterfly few out and soared
above our heads. I can not fully express in words the
feelings the other volunteers and I had. Some laughed,
some cried, some were amazed. It was breathtaking with a
touch of natures magic, full of beauty and grace. Our spirits
and emotions along were being carried on those wings.
So if you see a monarch butterfly around your yard,
their journey (I like to think) started at Light of Hearts Villa
where volunteers are shown they are literality and
figuratively appreciated in the highest possible regard.
If you find yourself feeling a little down and need a
purpose or a change in your life, get out there and start
volunteering. I guarantee it will change your life for the
better and you might just help someone else have a better
life as well. Get out of your cocoon and like the butterfly,
you will have wings to soar. The sky is the limit!
Cozy Corner Shop accepts clean and slightly used
donations (household items, clothing, jewelry, books,
knickknacks etc.) and sells them to the public. The revenue
received from these donated items goes right back into the
Villa’s Benevolent Fund for its residents. All donations can
be dropped off at the reception desk. The public is always
welcome to come and shop. If you have questions, call
440.232.1991. Hope to see you at the Villa!

This group of women gather for chatting, laughing, coffee, oh and yes, very basic sewing for a very
worthy cause. They create pillows that patients at Hospice of the Western Reserve use as they journey
through the final season of life. The little neck pillows are used for comfort. For hygienic reasons, they are
discarded after use so there is always a need for more. The sewing consists of simply closing a seam. The
fellowship often includes some yummy treats. All is done knowing the pillows give honor and glory to God
as they bring comfort to ones whom we shall never meet. All are welcome.
