Engage! Program Offers Adult Day
Services and Caregiver Relief
Caring for a loved one
can be stressful and exhausting. You want them
to have the best care and
meaningful activities, yet
also need some time for
yourself.
A new partnership between Casa Community
Services and Green Valley
Recreation, Inc. addresses
both of these needs
through Casa’s Adult Day
Program, which is offered
through the new Engage!
program.
The Engage! program
offers options for GVR
members whose health
prevents them from taking advantage of GVR’s
social and recreational
offerings. GVR members
may choose 10 full days
of care plus transportation at a discounted rate.

t’s that time of year to think about friends and
family, sharing and caring. About now, I usually
set some personal goals. They aren’t earth-shattering goals, like taking a round-the-world cruise (I
get motion sickness rather easily) or skydiving (I’m
acrophobic). They’re more like just staying in better
touch with friends and family, getting regular exercise,
and keeping-up with filing records and receipts on the
home front.

Kent’s Corner
(cont. from page 1)
Some people refer to this as
setting their New Year’s Resolutions, but not me. I've come up
short on that sort of thing for
some years now, and I haven’t
been resolved enough for any of
my past resolutions to happen at
the high-level I intended when I
first made them.
Much of what people who
care about us want to know is
what we’ve been up to. Sure,
there’s Facebook™ and an
assortment of other social media
mechanisms, ostensibly created
to help make this happen, but
there’s a rub to this technology.
If you don’t commit to putting
the time into social media on
the front end, there is no backend. If you don’t take time to
post every day occurrences, then
all the social media in the world
isn’t going to help you stay in
touch at the high-level you
desire. To be fair, I don’t have a
Facebook™ account, nor do I
use Twitter™ (following people
around and hanging on their
every word just isn’t my thing)
even though there is some merit
to these social media outlets.
The last thing I want to do in
my leisure time is spend more
time on the computer since I’m
conducting GVR business every
day on my desktop or smart
phone.
Maybe I'm not alone in that
sentiment. But I also know that
keeping friends and family up
to speed on a regular basis will
ultimately save time and reduce
a bit of the guilt I feel when I’m
out-of-touch for too long. Now,
with little or no effort, you can
let GVR help you keep in touch
with your friends and family
who live outside of Green Valley
and let them know what you’re
up to – or at least what’s going
on in and around your world.
Invite your friends and family
members to ‘opt-in’ to GVR’s
eBlast distribution list!
GVR’s regular eBlasts have
taken our communications with
members to a whole new level.
Each eBlast is chock-full of information about performing arts,
classes, lectures, tours special
events, volunteer opportunities,
and even governance activities.
By encouraging your friends
and family to join our eBlast
distribution list, you relieve some
of the pressure, (maybe even
some of the guilt) of not having
regular contact with them. Their
engagement with your world
through eBlasts may also incent
them to designate the GVR
Foundation as their Amazon
Smile™ nonprofit-of-choice
that benefits the Foundation.
All eBlast subscribers know that
GVR does not share its mailing
lists, and that they can unsubscribe at any time.
Here’s how to get it done:
Easiest way: Go to GVR’s website at www.gvrec.org . On the
right-hand side of the Homepage
is a red box. Simply have your
friend or relative add their name
and email address, then press
SUBMIT. Poof! They are in!
Less easy way: Text ‘GVR’ to
22828. You will receive a reply
via text requesting your email
address. Once that happens,
you’re in!
Stay in touch, and best wishes
for a fun, safe, and purposeful
New Year!

GVR and the GVR

The medals and volunteer tee shirts have been

no doubt have been busy
training for their events.
Each year, nearly 1,000
participants from nearly
all US states as well as
Canada compete in this
event. This year’s official
Senior Games tee shirt
was designed by Jim
Fitzgerald, whose entry
received the most votes.
The games, which take
place during March, are
open to members and
the general public with
a variety of events for
active seniors aged 50
and older. Some of the
events include pickleball

sada campus, Casa Community Services’ Adult
Day Services program
provides a variety of activities for participants in
a safe, supervised setting.
The typical day includes
socializing, playing stimulating games, enjoying
a nutritious lunch and
snacks, and sharing activities with children from
the adjacent preschool.
Nurses provide medical oversight, ensuring
medications are given as
prescribed and monitoring participants’ general
well-being. Program staff
keep participants busy in
their preferred activity,
such as woodworking,
singing, jewelry-making
or puzzles.
Just as importantly, the
Adult Day Services give
caregivers responsible for
caring for an older adult
at home some needed
time for themselves,
which helps prevent
burnout and compassion
fatigue. They can use
this time to visit GVR’s
centers, participate in
clubs or programs, keep
appointments, shop, tend
to home projects, or just
relax.
The GVR benefit for
Casa’s Adult Day Services is open to a limited
number of enrollees and
some restrictions apply.
For more information,
persons may contact
Program Director Rosanna Nelson at (520)
393-6835.
In addition to the Adult
Day Services, the Engage!
program offers free classes
open to the public that
are designed to promote
well-being and planning
for aging at all stages of
health. The first class
is scheduled for 9 am
Tuesday, Jan. 12 at GVR’s
Desert Hills Center auditorium. GVR members
also may participate in
Casa Community Center’s senior lunch program
and activities.
The Engage! program is
being funded by a grant
from the Freeport McMoRan Community Investment fund. To learn more
about Engage! opportunities and to register for
program classes, contact
GVR Senior Recreation
Supervisor Maureen McCarthy at (520) 838-0160

Coggins Named December
GVR Employee of the Month
Member Services
Coordinator Ashley
Coggins has been
named GVR’s
Employee of the
Month for December.
Each day, Ashley
arrives at GVR
ready to work and
is self-directed in
completing her
tasks. She is often the first person members come into contact
with when phoning GVR or
visiting the MSC. She greets everyone with a friendly smile and
“How can I help you today?” During last summer’s boundary
expansion referendum, Ashley
fielded an enormous influx of
calls and questions
about the ballot
issue. In December, Ashley handled
many questions
about dues as well
as walk-in member
payments. Ashley
is always willing to
help with administrative tasks, and
recently assisted
with preparing a mail merge list
so that address labels could be
created. We appreciate Ashley’s
hard work and patience in difficult situations. Ashley was nominated by Jen
Morningstar, Sherri Cadeaux,
and Elizabeth Hernandez. Congratulations, Ashley!
Having a US Passport can
make traveling abroad so much
easier as it’s a single document
that will verify your identity for
entry into most countries around
the world.
It’s more convenient and less
risky than carrying original
birth certificates and other legal
documents that could be lost or
destroyed. If you plan to travel
outside the US – or even visit
ports on a cruise ship – you’ll
need a passport or legal documentation to ensure your reentry
to the US.
If you need a passport or need
to renew yours, all area residents
are welcome to attend Green
Valley Recreation’s Passport Day
from 10 am-3 pm Wednesday,
Jan. 27 at GVR’s West Center.
US Department of State passport specialists from the Western
Passport Center will be on hand
to accept applications and answer
your questions. To obtain forms
and information, visit www.
travel.state.gov and bring these
forms along with your evidence
of citizenship and a passport
photo with you on Jan. 27.
Why Do You Have to Act That Way?!?
An Overview of Pet Behavior
Do you ever wonder what in the world your pet is thinking? It might be more complicated than you think!
Behavior problems are common, and are the top reason why pets are brought to the shelter. Sometimes,
behavior issues are actually the result of illness. Our next workshop aims to answer questions such as these:
1) How can I find a good trainer?
2) Can any supplements or medications help my pet’s behavior problems?
3) My pet has become extremely aggressive, and has bitten/attacked me. Is there any hope?
The answers range from simple to complex. We firmly believe YOU are your pet’s best advocate and the
most likely person to see early changes in behavior. Addressing these changes early is the easiest way
to treat these problems, as well as catch the early onset of disease.

Break Out of that Workout Rut in 2016
High Intensity Interval Training Revs your Metabolism
A New Year and
a new you, right?
If you’re stuck in
a workout rut and
not seeing results,
it’s time to change
up your cardio and
strength training
fitness strategy by
using High Intensity Interval Training
(HIIT).
Research shows that short bursts of
high-intensity exercise results in more
significant improvement to risk factors
than traditional low to moderate level
continuous training. HITT shakes up
your metabolism, working your cardio,
respiratory, and metabolic system in a
different way that leads to more efficient
and smarter fitness training.
The American Heart Association reports
that guidelines calling for 30 minutes of
exercise of moderate intensity may be too
general “for people with metabolic syndrome,” according to Arnt Erik Tjonna,
MSc, of the Norwegian University of
Science. Findings indicate that this type
of interval training has a significant effect
on improving HBA1c levels in Type II
Diabetics.
Studies show that just 10 minutes of
HIIT as your full workout or part of one
may be enough time to make significant

On the Elliptical Trainer: Warm-up
for 5-10 minutes, then do a 10 minute
HIIT training at 15-30seconds high level
interspersed with 30-45 seconds of recovery at your warm-up level.
On the Treadmill: Try 3 minute

3 minutes of walking slow (4-5 out of 10
max).
The New Year is a great time to mix up
your workout to see improved results. For

Renewal Centers Presents ‘Life Enriching’
Mental Health Workshops
Jan. 28 & Feb. 25 at East Center
While older adults experience many joys at this stage
in their life – grandchildren, travel and hobbies – aging
also can bring on some unique and difficult challenges
and emotional issues. Mature adults may experience
depression, suffer the loss of a spouse or close friends, or
face greater mental and physical limitations, which can
be troublesome.
Green Valley Recreation, Inc. is teaming up with
Renewal Centers, Inc. to present two free workshops facilitated by licensed therapists that are designed to help
older adults cope with some of some of these mental
health issues specific to aging.
Renewal Centers, Inc. is non-profit counseling
center that has offered “hope and healing” throughout
Southern Arizona for more than 30 years by providing
affordable counseling services to the community. Their
evidence-based practices address the well-being of a
person’s mind, body and spirit to produce life-enriching
results.

The GVR Foundation also was
successful in building partnerships
with businesses to raise funds for the
foundation and provide GVR members with value-added benefits. GVR
members now can enjoy special pricing
on new and used vehicles as well as a
15 percent discount on service/repairs
at Jim Click Automotive. To date, the
foundation has received $300 in contributions from Jim Click for vehicles
purchased by GVR members.
Through Fry’s and AmazonSmile’s
charitable programs, customers of these
retailers can designate the foundation
as their charity of choice. The foundation then receives a percentage of the
sale.
Going forward, the foundation is
supporting the new Engage! program, a
collaborative effort between GVR and
Casa Community Services that provides life-enriching services to benefit
older residents. As the new sponsoring
organization of the Southern Arizona
Senior Games, the foundation also will
be gearing up for the month-long event
in March.
The GVR Foundation expresses its
appreciation to the many members,
individuals, groups and businesses that
helped contribute to a very successful
first year, and intends to build on that
good work in 2016.

of singer/actress Joanne O’Brien. Through a cavalcade
of iconic classics including “We’ve Only Just Begun,”
“Top of the World” and “Yesterday Once More,”
O’Brien illuminates the musical diversity and political
climate of that time in history when the world first fell
in love with the magical sound of Karen Carpenter.
Members $26/$22, Guests $29/$25, General Public
$34/$30.
In Charles Morey’s acclaimed adaptation, Count
Dracula slips quietly into
Victorian London with a
cargo of his native Transylvanian soil, necessary for
rest between his victims.
The city seems helpless
against his frightful power,
and only one man, the
smart and resourceful Dr.
Van Helsing, can stop the
carnage. But to do this,
he must uncover the vampire’s lair and pierce Dracula’s
heart with a wooden stake, setting up an epic confrontation of good versus evil.
Under the leadership of Producing Director Susan
Albert Loewenberg, L.A. Theatre Works, LATW has
single-handedly brought the finest recorded dramatic
literature into the homes of millions. On the road,
LATW has delighted audiences with its unique live radio
theater style performances in over 300 small towns and
major cities. Theatre Works performance is immediate,
spontaneous, and features a first-rate cast, live sound
effects, and a connection to the audience rarely felt in
a traditional theater setting. This theater… is an event.

Interactive Beatles Experience
7 p.m. Tuesday, February 2
Rock to the music of the Beatles in an all new interactive concert experience where the audience creates the
playlist for the night… every night! There’s no denying
that everyone has a Beatles song attached to an event in
their life. Through laughter and personal stories, Yesterday and Today: The Interactive Beatles Experience connects the audience and performers in a way like no other.
George Hanson, TSO
conductor laureate, returns
to explore the supernatural,
the moon and the romance
of spring! Robert Schumann’s
Manfred Overture, inspired
by Lord Byron’s haunting
poem of the same name, and
Symphony No. 1, Spring, inspired by the “spring of love,”
according to the composer,
are a perfect fit with the world premiere of the orchestral
version of Lunar Reflections by Heather Schmidt. Instead of
five movements, Schmidt says it’s in five “moons,” from the
delicate beauty of a February Snow Moon to the clangorous
energy of a July Thunder Moon. Members $38/$34, Guests

Club Profile
GVR Pinochle Club
The GVR Pinochle Club was originally sanctioned by GVR in 2002 with 67
members after the group had played for nearly 20 years at GVR. The club
now has over 125 members and is growing.
The GVR
Pinochle Club is
a co-ed social
club that plays
single deck
Pinochle three
times per week
(Tue, Wed, &
Thurs) and
double deck
Pinochle two
times per week
(Wed & Thurs).
The club plays
at East Center on Tuesday and Thursday, and at Las Campanas Center on
Wednesday, offering residents around Green Valley a few locations close to
them to play. Nightly play is 75 cents, which goes towards the prize money.
The more people that play, the more winners there are. If you’re unlucky at
cards and come in last, you’ll even win a consolation prize!
The club’s annual dues are $5 or $2.5 if you join after July 1, which allows
you to play up to three times a week. Any GVR member, tenant or guest is
welcome to join the club with the first visit being free.
Membership also entitles you to participate in the club’s parties held
throughout the year. The largest parties are the Single & Double Deck,
spring party in March at Las Campanas Center, fall party in September at
Madera Vista Center, and the Annual Meeting Party the second Saturday in
December at Las Campanas Center. Two additional Single Deck Pinochle
parties are held in January and April at East Center Auditorium. The club
also participates in GVR’s Fit&Fun Day in January and the GVR Foundation
Southern Arizona Senior Games in March.
To help us grow, the club offers free lessons for people wanting to learn
or brush up on Single Deck Pinochle. The lessons are held from 1-3 pm
every Monday in February and November at Las Campanas.
