Transportation/ Shuttle Service 28 Saturday Raleigh Boychoir 1:00 pm, Fellowship Hall On Saturday, April 28, at 1:00 pm, Arbor Acres is happy to present the Raleigh Boychoir in concert in the Fellowship Hall of the Retirement Center. This engaging group of 30 young men will sing a wide variety of musical selections for our enjoyment. The Raleigh Boychoir was founded in 1968 by Mr. Thomas Sibley, then the director of music education for the Raleigh public school system, and now a resident of Arbor Acres. Tom was awarded the city of Raleigh “Medal of the Arts” for his decades of contribution to the excellence of the cultural life of Raleigh, NC. Tom’s wife Jane was also continuously involved in the RBC at Tom’s side. At performances, she would be with the choir boys backstage, straightening a tie here, combing unruly hair there, helping find a missing shoe, calming jittery nerves. We are proud that Tom and Jane Sibley now call Arbor Acres home. The mission of The Raleigh Boychoir is to educate and train boys in the art of singing, to perform the finest music in the boychoir tradition, and to enhance North Carolina’s cultural reputation. The Raleigh Boychoir experience develops character, leadership, and a strong commitment to excellence. Since its establishment in 1968, the Raleigh Boychoir has educated and trained over 2,500 boys in the art of performing the finest music in the boychoir tradition. As boys progress through the three levels of the choir, they learn to read music and master vocal techniques. Through musical training and performances, the boys not only develop an appreciation of a wide range of choral literature, they also gain self-confidence and poise, develop leadership and teamwork skills, and acquire self-discipline and selfrespect. The choir has performed in 28 Saturday Carnegie Hall, at the White House, at the Vatican, and in many other venues in the US and Europe. Alumni choristers have gone on in life to succeed in a variety of professional fields, not just musical professions but also physicians, attorneys, teachers, engineers and businessmen. Some have become music directors, composers, opera singers, even “American Idol” TV show finalists. 30 Page 7 Sign Up Monday Book Talk: Old Salem Brought to Life, Aurelia Eller and Paula Locklair 7:00 pm, Fellowship Hall The book was published in 2007.

With the approach of spring, each year at this time we focus more walking because it’s a great time to be outdoors. Our first walking program began on March 5 and concluded on Sunday, April 1. This program was implemented to get everyone warmed up and back in the habit of walking. The participants of this program will celebrate their achievements on Wednesday, April 4 at 11:00a.m. in the Fellowship Hall. We will acknowledge some outstanding achievements in this event. Everyone who participated will receive a small token of appreciation. So all you walkers, mark your calendars and stop by for a doughnut and a cup of coffee. Page Page1111 Scavenger Hunt Hunger Walk for Crisis Control Ministry Guest: Margaret Elliot, A MATTER OF BALANCE - Executive Director of Crisis Control Ministry Friday, April 13, 2:00pm Bay Window Donna Joyner, BSN, Injury Prevention Coordinator Wake Forest Health Friday, April 20, 10:30 am, Fellowship Hall A very special walk is planned this month. Many of you have already learned about the work of Crisis Control Ministry, helping feed the hungry children right here in our own community. It is astounding to know how many children really need our help. This walk is to bring attention to how easy it is for us to help! All you need to do to participate is join us at the Bay Window to pick up a copy of the route sheet. The walk will begin at 2:00p.m. SHARP! We will begin by having a drawing to see who receives a number. This number will indicate the cards along the route in which you will bring back and collect food items for our hungry children. We will also be accepting contributions in the form of checks made out to Crisis Control Ministry and placed in the yellow box in the cubby room for those who wish to make a monrtary donation. For those of you who wish to purchase food for this event and need transportation, there will be a trip to Lowes Foods on Thursday, April 12 leaving the front lobby at 11:00a.m. These and any other food items you wish to donate may be brought to the food bins located in the front lobby of the Berrier Building and the library for those that are unable to participate in the Scavenger Hunt. For all of your efforts, may you find much joy in helping the hungry! WHAT IS IT? I would like to invite you to participate in a program that can lead to a healthier life style for you and prevent the risk of suffering from a fall. Many older adults experience a fear of falling that can limit their activities and result in physical weakness making the risk of falling even greater. A Matter of Balance includes eight two-hour sessions for a small group led by a trained facilitator. During the class you will learn to: • View falls as controllable • Set goals for increasing activity • Make changes to reduce fall risk at home • Exercise to increase strength and balance Participants will enjoy spending time together, getting to know each other, sharing ideas, helping each other, having “healthy snacks”, and develop a habit of exercising regularly. Please plan to join us for more information on April 20th at 10:30am and to sign up for the class that will be held later in the summer or early fall.
