Judy Sneyd is doing a wonderful job
teaching the Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday Body Conditioning classes. I have
received many compliments about both
her and the way she runs her classes.
With the addition of Judy, Theresa has
added several classes and we have moved
some people off wait lists for classes like Chair Yoga and
Arthritis. We want to offer a variety of classes that meet
your varying needs. We have limits of how many and
what kinds of classes any one person can sign up for so
that, when new people come to the Center, they can register to join a class they need instead of being put on a wait
list. A few people have said that even Body Conditioning
is not strenuous enough to meet their needs. Because this
is a Senior Center, the exercises are adapted specifically
for people over age 55. If you feel you need more exercise than you can get at the Senior Center, you have several options:
benefits your entire community while getting exercise.
Their website is lcfpd.org. Once on the website, click on
the Get Involved tab. Under volunteering, learn more
about the options available to you. There are several.
Both Bonner Farm and Independence Grove need Gardeners. Bonner Farm grows vegetables and Independence
Grove grows a native plant garden. The duties include:
planting, seed collection and processing, watering, weeding, general care and cleanups according to seasonal demands. If you are specifically interested in gardening,
you may call Alicia Fullerton at 847-968-3390 to volunteer. The first step for all volunteer opportunities at the
Forest Preserve is to fill out the Volunteer Interest Form
which you can find on the website. If you need help accessing the website, filling out the form, or contacting the
Forest Preserve, the staff at the senior center will gladly
assist you. The Forest Preserve is also hosting a Volunteer Open House at Bonner Farm on April 12th from 1:00
to 2:30 PM which you can attend.

Many people add walking to their daily routine. You I look forward to seeing many of you at the Grandparent’s
can walk at Gurnee Mills mall in the mornings before Day celebration at Warren Township on Friday, June
the stores open (or anytime during the day). The 19th. Don’t forget to register!
Township also has beautiful and well-maintained
Suzanne D. Simpson
walking paths if you want a safe place to walk outside
on a beautiful day.

You can take classes other places. You can join the
YMCA or The Center Club, take extra classes at the
PS. Congratulations to Theresa
Gurnee Park District, or any health club in the area.
Scottberg on the birth of her
The Lake County Forest Preserve is in need of volun- grandson, Ezekiel John Holsworth

My name is Neilan Sankpal. I have lived in Gurnee my
whole life. In 2012 I graduated from Warren Township High
School. Since high school, I have been pursuing a Bachelor’s
degree in Computer Science at College of Lake County and
University of Wisconsin. I have been working at the Warren
Township Teen Center since fall of 2011. There, I have had
the satisfaction of helping tutor and mentor many of Warren
Townships’ youth. I love being active and trying new things.
I have played most sports at one time or another. Currently I
am on an adult softball team in Libertyville. Starting the
spring of 2015 I will be working at the Senior Center. I look
forward to my new roll and have heard nothing but good
things about our senior citizens.

As you can see from the previous page, we are welcoming Neilan Sankpal to our senior department team.
We are very happy to have him join us in serving all of you. Eric Dolence has an opportunity in Arizona and will
be moving there in the next few months. The exact date of his departure has not been determined but will probably be sometime in July. Eric is hardworking, patient, and knowledgeable. He is generous with his time when
assisting our clients. He has been an incredible asset here at the Senior Center and I am sure he will do well in
all he does. We will miss him. Neilan will be splitting his time between the Senior Center and the Teen Center
as he trains with Eric.
Thank you to those of you who made suggestions for ways to partner with the Woodland schools. Also, a
special thank you to Jill Ballock, Sherry Bowker, Susan Clare, Joan Jackson, Ann Kohler, Katy Owens, Katie
Rinehart, and Mary Ann Urbaitis who par ticipated in Leader s ar e Reader s day at the Elementar y School.
A very special thank you to Sara Hancock, Linda Hoeth, Millie Jordan, and Mary Ann Urbaitis who
baked Cookies for the Teen Center Overnight Lock-In. Thank you also to our own Sherie Palmer who pitched in
and generously added her own donations. There were plenty of delicious looking cookies and no nuts. The kids
loved them and were very appreciative. Thank you very much!
Jean and Theresa are making the final preparations for the Alaskan Cruise. We are very excited that 32
of our Warren Township seniors and their families are able to take advantage of this incredible opportunity. I
hope it is great fun. We have the next extended trip planned to Finger Lakes, New York but we would love to
hear your suggestions for future overnight trips. Let us know where you would like to go and how you would
like to get there.
We have cancelled the Spelling Bee for this year because there was only one brave soul, Barbara
McNeill, who signed up to spell. This year she wins by default. Don’t worry. We will schedule the Fondue Fest
in conjunction with a different event later in the year. Study up for next year. It’s more fun if we can get several
spellers!

Troopons is a “Support Our Troops” program which provides Manufacturer coupons for food, non-food, baby,
and pet items to military families. Manufacturer coupons for individual products (not particular stores or restaurants) can be sent to support our troops and their families.
Please cut them into individual coupons before
turning them in and separate into these three categories: food, non-food, and baby/pet items. We have a box
in the Senior Center and Anne Hollek mails them to the troops.

Each May for the last 26 years The Exchange Club of Gurnee has hosted Salad in the Park. Funds raised from

the number of people who are registered. We also have vegetable and herb pots available. The Township offers

Meet the Attorneys: 1:00 until 3:00 PM on the 13th. We r eceive many legal questions at the Senior Center
which we are not qualified to answer. Sue Simpson addresses this problem by having our township attorneys here
to answer legal questions. We will have a half hour for a general Question and Answer period, and then allot approximately an hour and a half for more private questions. If you have documents that you don’t understand, if
you want to know something regarding your estate or have any other legal question, this will be the time to ask.

CAPTIONED TELEPHONES
For those who may be hard of hearing, captioned telephones provide a useful alternative to generic phone usage. It can be difficult to understand what people are saying, even without the addition of a hearing impairment. Captioned telephones provide word by word text to match the speech of the individual you are speaking
to in order to help understanding and comprehension.
Several companies produce a captioned telephone service for anyone who is hard of hearing. They provide a
wide range of telephones to ensure the best fit for the individual. For individuals who are also vision impaired,
they provide a phone with a larger screen to display larger text. Many of the machines require internet to be
operated, but there are also phones that do not require internet, if you do not have it.
Veterans and individuals who have a hearing impairment diagnosis can receive the captioned telephones for
free. Veterans will be asked to provide their name, address, phone number and branch served. Non veterans
who are hearing impaired must provide a “Third Party Certification of Eligibility”. This form must be filled out
by a practicing physician to verify your hearing capability status. After ordering and scheduling an appointment, a representative from the captioned phone company will come to your home to install your new captioned telephone and give you a detailed tutorial on using it.
Application forms and information are located in the main office of the Senior Center.
NOTICE
To all of you who have purchased the half-price taxi tickets from our office, we want to inform you of one
change. Gurnee Flash Cab and Red and Black Cab companies are merging to form Gurnee Red & Black Flash
Cab. The number to call to set up a ride which is found on the back of each ticket, is still correct. Also, if you
call taxi drivers directly, they will still honor the tickets. In fact, you should see NO difference in your service.
If you do or you have other problems with Gurnee Flash or any of the cab companies, please call Joanne Adams at 847-244-1101 ext. *503.
