“Act as if what you do makes a
difference. It does.”
―William James
Each month, without fail, I am
amazed by the number of hours
people give to support our Center and
its programming. In the last year,
there were nearly 23,000 volunteer
hours logged on our sign-in
computers! By the way, we know
there are many of you out there who
are helping and not telling us about
your volunteer time (eh um, let us
know if you’re unsure about how to
log your hours on our sign-in
computers).
Still, the amazement I feel when I see
these reports pales in comparison to
the feeling of community that is
evident when I come to work each
day. People so often comment on the
wonderful offerings we provide for
our seniors but the truth is that we
would have little to offer without our
unbelievable crew of hard-working
and dedicated volunteers. Kinda
makes you wonder what our paid
staff is doing, doesn’t it?
This November, we will take a day to
show gratitude to our volunteers for
the many ways you make
Generations the community that it
truly is. It’s not enough to repay you
for all you do but we hope you won’t
let that stop you from coming.
If you are a “Center Volunteer,” we
welcome you to attend a “Thanks
for Giving” Luncheon on
Wednesday, November 18 at noon.
We’ll have a turkey dinner with all of
the traditional Thanksgiving fixings
as well as lovely music.
Seating is limited for this special
event aimed at honoring our many
volunteers. If you are a Center
volunteer, please stop by our front
desk or call 215-723-5841 to
reserve your seat. (Meals on
Wheels Volunteers will be honored
at our annual spring Meals on
Wheels Luncheon). There will be
no regular noon meal this day.

Generations of Indian Valley is a 501(c)3
non-profit community center serving active
adults in Souderton, Telford, Franconia and
the surrounding communities with
programs in wellness, nutrition, social
services, recreation, travel and more.
Generations’ Meals on Wheels program
serves the Indian Valley and North Penn
areas.
Generations of Indian Valley is funded, in
part, under contract with Aging and Adult
Services of Montgomery County.
Additional funding is provided by the North
Penn United Way, foundation grants,
municipal support, fundraising projects and
individual and corporate contributions. We
suggest, but do not require, an annual
contribution from our participants to help
defray the costs of our operating expenses.
I was thinking about this on
my way to the Center today,
because off in the distance was
a beautiful barn that I enjoy
seeing on my way to work. I
can see it from quite a distance
away and so there is plenty of
time to appreciate it as I get
closer.
But if I look out the car’s side
window while I’m traveling at
the same speed, things seem to
be flying by so fast that it is
hard to focus on any one
object.
Sometimes our life at the
Center can feel like that!
Things become a blur of daily
meals and daily programs and
Acupuncture
What's the Point?
Thursday, Nov. 5, 10:00am
Acupuncture can produce a variety of
sensations, but frequent acupuncture goers
will tell you it doesn't hurt.
We’re thankful to Jean Tornetta
for ten great years of fitness
instruction. See p. 6. . .
We assure participation and services to
anyone applying and qualifying without
regard to race, religion, national origin,
marital status, sex, sexual orientation,
gender identity or disability where a person
is otherwise qualified or could be with
reasonable accommodation. Generations is
an Equal Opportunity Employer.
Are We There Yet?
Time is a funny thing.
Sometimes it seems to pass so
quickly, and at other times,
things seem to take forever.
daily faces that pass so
quickly. But when we look
out the front window at goals
and dreams off in the distance,
they seem to come so slowly.
Around the Center we have
lots of “barns” that lie off in
the distance – dreams that are
coming, but slowly… a
resurfaced parking lot, a
renovated Community Room,
outdoor areas for eating and
socializing and my personal
favorite… a rooftop deck!
Sometimes it feels as if we’ll
never get there, but these
things are drawing closer
(well… maybe not the rooftop
deck, but we can hope)!
We’re raising money for
parking lot repairs. We’re
already in conversation about
improvements to the
Community Room, and our
long-term planning is filled
with exciting ideas. Until
then, we can use the distance
to appreciate what’s coming
and prepare for its arrival.
I imagine that all of us can
recall car trips with little ones
in the back asking, “Are we
there yet?” I have plenty of
days where I feel like that
myself… But in the day to day
life that is flying past the
window, we’re working
together to get ready for what
lies ahead. And we can
remind ourselves, as we
remind the kids in the back
seat, that “we’ll be there
soon.” See you around the
Center,
~Doug Eschbach,
Executive Director
Acupuncture—the experience of getting a treatment as well
as the underlying theory—is still foreign to the majority of
us in the West. Myths and misconceptions about
acupuncture are common in our society. Here are a few
things that surprise people about acupuncture:
Acupuncture is not just for pain. Acupuncture can alleviate
pain but can also help address symptoms of many other
ailments such as digestive issues, gynecological conditions,
anxiety, depression and asthma.
Acupuncture is relaxing. Acupuncture needles are
surprisingly thin and do not bear any resemblance to
needles used for injections or to draw blood. In most cases,
the insertion of acupuncture needles is not even felt.
Acupuncturists go to school for a long time. People tend to
be unaware of the extent to which acupuncturists train to
become licensed and proficient in their profession. At a
minimum, a licensed acupuncturist in the United States has
been to three years of graduate school. Four years is more
common. Acupuncturists hold masters or doctorate degrees
and have intense focus and experience in the field of
medical acupuncture. Upon graduating from an accredited

MEMORY SCREENINGS

Alzheimer’s Association,

school, all acupuncturists must pass multiple board exams
to become licensed in their state.
If you are not already familiar with this amazing medicine,
please come to Generations on Thursday, November 5 at
10:00am to meet Kimberly Niezgoda, L.Ac. Board
Certified Licensed Acupuncturist. You can learn more
about acupuncture, ask your questions and decide if you
would like to get a treatment. Kimberly offers seated group
treatments at Generations the first Thursday of every month
at 11:00am.
Group acupuncture treatment is a quick, inexpensive
alternative to individual acupuncture sessions and has been
very well received by our participants. Patients are fully
clothed and acupuncture needles are placed on accessible
acupuncture points on the body depending on the patient’s
condition. If you choose to receive a treatment, please
allow yourself at least an hour. Group seated treatments are
$20 and a portion of this fee is donated to Generations.
Please register for the free
introductory
presentation on
November 5

know if you'll also be

Featured Artist
Dr. Sobeida Salomón will
share her watercolor
paintings with us during the
months of October and
November. For many years,
she has found painting a
way to express the beauty
she perceives in the simple
details of everyday living,
the spontaneity of color and
form, and the joy of life.
A native of Venezuela, she
has traveled extensively and
found inspiration for her
paintings in the enchanting
middle-age villages of
remote areas of France,
Spain, Portugal, and China.
Today, she is a resident of
Horsham, PA where she
works as a psychotherapist
in private practice.

Some visit Mackinac Island for the
elegant places to stay; others for the rich history of Fort
Mackinac. Still others come to shop and take a scenic
carriage tour or ride bicycles around the shoreline of the
island. Almost everyone, of course, wanders into one of

Mackinac Island is a unique vacation spot boasting fine
dining, historic sites, and exciting attractions. The
French pronounced it “MackinAW" but
spelled it “MackinAC." The
British heard it pronounced
"MackinAW" so they spelled it
that way. Whichever way it is
spelled, it is always pronounced
“MackinAW. . .”
