JULY 2012
Happy July everyone,
From the Director
As we get the summer up and going, come on into the senior center this month and join us for all the summer fun. Last month we had a great time getting
the summer classes and activities underway. We would like to thank all the volunteers and donors that made the events of the last several months a success! Please see the boards appreciation on page 5.
As we move into July, which is national Hot Dog and Ice Cream month, we will be honoring these two yummy treats during our 4th of July celebration.
Come down to the center on the 4th, starting at 6pm and join us for the City of Clio fireworks show. Bring your lawn chairs and blankets for this familyfriendly, alcohol free event. We will be having food and 50/50 tickets to raise some funds for the center and a donation jar will be available for you to drop
off any contribution you might feel is appropriate for the use of the facility during the evening. Thank you all for the many ways you support the center
through your giving of time, resources and/or money.
If you cannot join us on the 4th, consider coming out for our July picnics and our 5th anniversary party on August 4th. See the information on page 4 for
details. July will also bring our usual line-up of daily summer events. Please see the event calendar on page 3 for all that will be offered this month.
We also have a couple new services and offerings this month. Starting on July 16th at 10am we will be offering a four week class on Computer Basics.
Please see the write-up in the lower corner on page 2. Then, starting July 18th at 1pm, Legal Services of Eastern Michigan will be starting their free consultation services again. If you wish to attend the class of meet with a lawyer intern, please call the front desk to sign up.

MY SENIOR CENTER CHECK IN
Please make sure you are checking in with your I.D. tag or
sign the sheet every time you visit the senior center. Also,
check in for every activity you participate in while you are
here. We need accurate counts. The numbers impact the
amount of funding the center will receive.
INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
FEELING UNDER THE WEATHER?
Along with the changes of the weather comes the season of
colds and flu. Please be considerate of your fellow members at the Center by staying home if you are not feeling
well. We care about your health and want you to get well.
In case of severe weather, the Clio Area Senior Center has
an inclement weather policy. If the weather deteriorates
during the day, call the center before heading out to your
program or activity to make sure the Center is still open.
When we must close the Center, an announcement will appear on ABC Channel 12. Generally speaking, if the area
schools are closed, so will be the center.
DONATIONS
As always, we deeply appreciate all the financial and inkind gifts given frequently to the Senior Center. Many
of you give generously and often to the senior community. If you have not given in the past and are looking
for ways to support the Center please consider giving
in some of the following ways:
Financially: All of the programs at the Clio Area Senior
Center are paid for by the private non-profit group Clio
Seniors Incorporated. This non-profit group is solely
supported by your giving and the fund raising events
conducted at the Senior Center. All the money for
newsletters and given in donations goes to this group
for the running of programs at the center. Recently,
the Center has moved towards handling some of its
operational costs that Vienna Township has handled in
the past. We are partnering with them in sharing some
costs because of the township’s budget constraints
from decreasing tax revenue and decreasing revenue
sharing from the state. If you have the means, please
consider continuing and possibly increasing your
monetary giving to the Center to help us with this increased cost of operation.
In-Kind donations: We accept many items as in-kind
donations that help the Center in many ways. Wheelchairs, walkers, canes, shower chairs, adult undergarments, gently used furnishings, books for the library,
community points from VG receipts, and many other
items are regularly considered and taken in as in-kind
donations. If you have something to donate, give us a
call to see if we can accept it and if there is a need for
it. If we cannot accept it or do not have a need for it,
we can often refer you to a place that can use it. So
keep those items coming! We love being able to meet
the needs of the senior community through your generosity.
REMINDERS:
Volunteerism: On average we have approximately
1800 to 1900 members use the services at the Center
each month. With the traffic comes a need for help!
We have several new volunteers already trained and up
and running, but we could always use more. Stop on by
the front desk and fill out a volunteer application if you
are interested and we will match you up with an opportunity that meets the area you wish to serve in.
Congregate Meals: Please remember to call and reserve your lunch the day before by 12:15pm. We will be calling our order in at 12:30 the day
before. This will help eliminate errors in ordering. Seniors (Sixty (60) and over), there is a suggested donation of $2.00. In Genesee County, no
