Hello everyone,
I hope to see many of you at the Genesee County Fair on Tuesday, August 23rd. Admission

Please remember about the new program offered at the center, “Nurse Chat” is available
to you for FREE the first Thursday of every month at 1:30 p.m. This program is sponsored by
Heart to Heart Medical Service. A round table of questions on a variety of topics will be

On Friday, August 12th at 3:30 p.m. we will be having a FREE informational meeting if
you have Legacy Blue Cross supplemental plan . Your Legacy Blue Cross plan has changed, as
you all know by the letters you have received! Karen Surles, our MMAP counselor, will address
options for staying with Legacy, or changing providers and alternate coverage options, hopefully
answering all of your questions you may have. If you are interested please call the front office
at 810.658.1566 and be put on the list.
For those of you who were not aware, we do provide FREE WiFi. If you want to use the
computers in the computer lab, please make sure you call first to see if the computer lab is
available. If you plan on printing something off, you must supply your own paper.
I attended the Colorama color class on Monday, July 11th, I really enjoyed the class and
the company. Thank you for letting me crash your activity for awhile.
Thank you so much to everyone who donates their time, talent or help supply our wish
list. We could not do it without YOU.
Seniors who stay active physically, mentally and socially add greatly to the quality of
their lives.
Enjoy the rest of the summer,
Kathy
We would like to Thank
the Fraternal Order of
Eagles President Jerry
Crosby for presenting
Kathy Davis, Executive

Who is Judge Conover?
Chess & Checkers
Friday, 11:30 a.m.
Judge John Conover recently retired after serving for
twenty-two years as Davison’s District Court Judge. His
jurisdiction, ranging from small rural communities to the high
crime areas of Genesee County, has given him first-hand
involvement from farm animal disputes to child torture and murder
cases. Because of his wonderful sense of humor, quick wit and
wisdom in dispensing tough but fair rulings, he became a muchloved judge, speaker, and community activist. Now he has added
“author” to that list with his recently published book, “Off Balance.”
Cribbage
Wednesday, 12:30 p.m.
Double Deck Pinochle
Monday, 12:30 p.m.
Friday, 12:30 p.m.
Euchre
Monday & Thursday, 12:30 p.m.
Friday, 7:00 p.m.
What is your book, “Off Balance”, about?
Off Balance is a collection of about 175
funny anecdotal stories that happened in Judge
Conover’s courtroom, and a few from his 20
previous years as a lawyer. These are all true stories and , as
such, many are wrapped around a poignant event that is unhappy.
However, there is always an off-balance twist that brings out the
hilarious.
If you really analyze what makes people laugh (the TV
show “Funniest Home Videos” comes to mind), humor is almost
always based on an underlying sad story. As human beings, we are
blessed with an ability to laugh at ourselves, and even Judge
Conover is often the target of the humor in Off Balance.

We Need Helpers for
Commodities Day!
Seniors Helping Seniors
The national trend of “aging
in place” is relevant as local seniors
are choosing to remain in their
homes longer, therefore seeking
services as alternatives to long-term care facilities. One problem
facing seniors who wish to “age in place” is social isolation. When
seniors lose their partner, friends, and often the ability to drive,
they may develop feelings of loneliness or depression.
The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP)
volunteers are addressing this issue in Genesee, Lapeer and
Shiawassee County by helping seniors stay in their homes longer.
RSVP, sponsored by the Valley Area Agency on Aging, is a program
under the umbrella of Senior Corps and is the largest senior
volunteer program in the Nation. RSVP volunteers support seniors
who wish to remain independent by providing friendly visits or a
few hours of relief to a caregiver of a homebound senior.
RSVP is currently seeking compassionate volunteers at
least 55 years of age to participate in the “Aging in Place” initiative
to help keep seniors living in the community as long as possible.
Volunteers who enroll in RSVP will qualify for assistance with fuel
costs, set their own schedule, and may choose from many
volunteer options including: Respite and Companionship, friendly
visits to the homebound and seniors living in facilities, assist at
area food pantries and soup kitchens, transport seniors to medical
appointments, assist in classrooms and much, much more.
Call RSVP for more details on how you can begin making a
difference in Genesee, Lapeer and Shiawassee Counties today!
For more information on this program call VAAA
@ 810-239-7671 or visit website at
www.valleyareaaging.org
