The leaves change colors; it starts to rain a little more which is welcomed by all of the bulbs, crocus, daffodils, tulips, dahlias and hyacinths that are planted to delight and awe us as flowers in the spring. October is also the Annual Membership Renewal Month at CASC. I am proud to say that many of you have renewed your membership this year paying the $60 membership fee. Others of you have become Lifetime Members and paid the $500 lifetime fee at one time and/or are making payments towards it. Thank-you! We will honor all lifetime members recognizing you with a free brunch on Sunday, November 15th, 3:30 pm – 6:00 pm at the center. We welcome all those who want to attend; however, it will cost non-lifetime members $20, youth thirteen – eighteen, $10 and children twelve and under a dollar per year of age. We want to say a special thank-you to our lifetime members for continuously supporting us. In contrast, there are some, who walk in the doors on a daily basis, attend Green Dolphin Lounge and participate in numerous programs and activities without ever becoming a member. Unlike my mother, I’m not going to try and shame you, but I am going to ask you to take out a membership. Now More Than Ever we Could Use Your Help. Since May of last year we have managed to upgrade the facility and to offer several new programs and activities. This was accomplished owing to your willingness to renew your membership giving us additional financial resources to apply towards facility upgrades and activities. Our plans are even more ambitious this year. We are putting down new carpet, painting the interior, refurbishing the front entry with new custom built furniture, and enhancing the walls with new signage, and a mural depicting the friendship and fun displayed every day by members and community members who frequent the building. Through the design support of IIDA (International Interior Design Association, Northern Pacific Chapter) facility upgrades are being made. They include dining hall windows covered by translucent window shades, flexible upholstered benches in vibrant colors to provide seating in the hallway and dining room decorated with colorful pillows. For those of you always confused as to what gets recycled where, your confusion will be cleared up with tidy garbage and recycling sorter bins. The entry is to have dome pendant lighting; the dining hall is to acquire a wood coat wardrobe with closing doors so as not to display what’s inside. It is through paid memberships that we will have the operating dollars to underwrite the ongoing cost of program activities, building repairs, and new initiatives. Renew Your Membership Today! Become a Yearly Member or a Lifetime Member. With Your Assistance We Will Thrive! I promise the November Lifetime Members brunch will be fun. It will feature live music, with CT Thompson, great food, tributes and recognition to those who have contributed leadership to the center over the years. Everyone who renews their membership in October and/or take out a Lifetime membership will be entered into a raffle drawing for great prizes. Names will be drawn at the November 15th brunch for a variety of prizes that include gift cards, Seahawks merchandise, and tickets to upcoming events at the center, jewelry, wine and liquor. Celebrate what we have collectively achieved at CASC this past year while renewing your annual membership. Share in the November 15th homecoming of former members, new members, and those just wanting to check us out and see why CASC is being acknowledged as the happening place in the neighborhood. 22 We have much to be proud of. Come join me at the Brunch. It will be an electrifying, fun and memorable experience. See you there!

Health Article “Taking Control of Your Health” By: Carroll Haymon, MD Iora Primary Care – Central District In medicine, we call conditions that don’t have a cure “chronic diseases” - conditions like diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, and emphysema. As people age, they tend to develop a long list of these, with a pile of pills to match. Too often, people with chronic conditions don’t really understand them. Health Care professionals sometimes make this worse by going too fast and using technical jargon. But research shows that your health will be better if you are an active partner in managing your health. This means understanding your chronic diseases, knowing things like: Why does high blood pressure matter? What can I do for diabetes BESIDES taking my medications? What are all these pills for, anyway? Your health care team should take the time to answer these questions for you, because learning about your own health is one of the best ways to improve it.
