November is always the time of year that I am more observant of what I am thankful for. We are reminded of Veterans Day where men & women have fought and are still fighting for our freedom. The Thanksgiving holiday, I tend to feel overwhelmed by the blessing we have received. I am truly blessed for having such a healthy family that loves me, a wonderful efficient staff, the ability to work with such talented individuals at the Office of Senior Services, the County Commissioners, the local municipalities that support us in so many ways, our two boards the Authority and the Advisory who offer so much input and valuable information. I enjoy and am grateful to be able to serve all of our valued senior citizens that I come in contact in one way or another. THANK YOU for your trust in me to serve you to the best of my ability. It is hard to believe but it is time to start discussing Senior Winter Games. If you are new to these events please ask a staff member for more info. Applications are available in the front office. If you would like to volunteer at an event please let me know. There will be an informational meeting to help you decide what event you would like to assist us in. February will be here before you know it, “LET THE GAMES BEGIN.” DID YOU KNOW? Double Deck Pinochle is now played on Monday’s at 12:30 in addition to the Friday afternoon program. Our lunch program on Monday – Friday at noon is also a wonderful way to also socialize with other people. Thank you to our lunch crew that serves and does setup and clean up on a daily basis. If you are interested in having lunch with a great group of people, please call by 1:00 p.m. the day before. I know it is a little early to send this notice out BUT I want to remind everyone that if the Davison School District is closed due to BAD WEATHER our Senior Center is closed also. Watch TV 12 and Channel 25 for updates. The Meditation Program on Thursday evenings at 6:00 p.m. is a wonderful way to help your body and mind relax and wind down from your busy and hectic days, I look forward to attending it when I can.

A part of Senior Corps, the Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is America’s largest volunteer network for people 55 and over, with more than 500,000 volunteers helping in their own communities nationwide. With RSVP, you can apply the skills and wisdom you’ve acquired throughout your life to make a positive difference in the lives of others. You choose how and where you want to serve, how much time you want to give, and whether you want to share the skills you have or develop new ones. RSVP matches volunteers with local organizations, giving you countless opportunities in your community to make an impact where it’s needed most, such as: • Respite for caregivers who need to take breaks from caring for loved ones • Transportation to and from medical appointments for seniors • Mentoring in area schools, Food delivery and food pantry support, Much, much, more! Giving Back is Good for You, Too! Research shows that older Americans who volunteer live longer and report better health. Volunteering can also lead to more friendships and a more positive attitude! Other RSVP Benefits: • Mileage reimbursement to and from your assignments • Excess auto liability insurance • Supplemental life insurance while you’re in service • Recognition events • Group activities and opportunities to meet new people • Quarterly newsletter with community resources Ramblin’ Rose ~ ‘Nashville’ ~ Hosted by Grande’Chapeau Affaire & Ramblin’ Rose Wednesday, June 8, 2016.

Suggestion Box at the Center… We had a few suggestion in our suggestion box this last month! • • To offer the following trips—Blake’s Orchard, Frankenmuth & Turkeyville. Answer-We have offered these trips or trips like these trips in the past and did not get enough people signed up to go. It takes 56 people to fill a bus. Our trip companies have tried combining with other senior centers to make these trips a go and we still had to cancel. It takes a lot of work on their part booking these trips, and for them to keep cancelling they will not offer them. To offer an I-Pad Class. Answer– Our Director is trying to find someone to teach this class here so we can offer it at our Senior Center for a reasonable price. 810.658.1566 Information RSVP is sponsored by Valley Area Agency on Aging.

According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, osteoporosis is a disease of the bones. It happens when you lose too much bone, make too little bone or both. As a result, your bones become weak and may break from a minor fall or, in serious cases, even from simple actions, like sneezing or bumping into furniture. Osteoporosis means “porous bone”. If you look at healthy bone under a microscope, you will see that parts of it look like a honeycomb. If you have osteoporosis, the holes and spaces in the honeycomb are much bigger than they are in healthy bone. This means your bones have lost density or mass and that the structure of your bone tissue has become abnormal. As you bones become less dense, they also become weaker and more likely to break. If you’re age 50 or older and have broken a bone, talk to your doctor or other health care provider and ask if you should have a bone density test. Osteoporosis is Common ~ About 54 million Americans have osteoporosis and low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis. Studies suggest that approximately one in two women and up to one in four men age 50 and older will break a bone due to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is Serious ~ Breaking a bone is a serious complication of osteoporosis, especially when you’re older. Broken bones due to osteoporosis are most likely to occur in the hip, spine and wrist, but other bones can break too. Broken bones can cause severe pain that may not go away. Osteoporosis also causes some people to lose height. When osteoporosis causes the bones of the spine, called vertebrae, to break or collapse, it affects your posture and causes you to become stooped or hunched. Osteoporosis may even keep you from getting around easily and doing the things you enjoy, which may bring feelings of isolation or depression. It can also lead to other health problems. Twenty percent of senior who break a hip die within one year from problems related to the broken bone itself or surgery to repair it. Many of those who survive need longterm nursing home care. Osteoporosis is Costly ~ Osteoporosis is responsible for 2 million broken bones and $19 million in related costs every year. By 2025, experts predict that osteoporosis will be responsible for approximately three million fractures and $25.3 billion in costs each year. Osteoporosis can sneak up on you! Osteoporosis is often called a silent disease because you can’t feel your bones getting weaker. Breaking a bone is often the first sign that you have osteoporosis or you may notice that you are getting shorter or your upper back is curving forward. If you are experiencing height loss or you spine is curving, be sure to talk to your doctor or another healthcare professional right away as the disease may be already be advanced. Are you at Risk? ~ There are a variety of factors—both controllable and uncontrollable—that put you at risk for developing osteoporosis. It is important to talk with your healthcare provider about your risk factors for osteoporosis and together you can develop a plan to protect your bones. A women’s risk of breaking a hip due to osteoporosis is equal to her risk of breast, ovarian and uterine cancer combined. And a man age 50 or older is more likely to break a bone due to osteoporosis than he is to get prostate cancer. Uncontrollable Risk Factors ~ Being Female, being over age 50, menopause, family history of osteoporosis, low body weight/being small and thin & broken bones or height loss. Controllable Risk Factors ~ Not getting enough calcium & vitamin D, not eating enough fruits & vegetables, getting too much protein, sodium & caffeine, having an inactive lifestyle, smoking, drinking too much alcohol, losing weight. There are also medications & diseases that can cause bone loss and increase your risk of osteoporosis. Prevention and Health Living ~ Osteoporosis and the broken bones it can cause are not part of normal aging. There is a lot you can do to protect you bones throughout your life. You’re never too young or too old to improve the health of your bones. Osteoporosis prevention should begin in childhood. But it shouldn’t stop there. Whatever your age, the habits you adopt now can affect your bone health for the rest of your life. Now is the time to take action. What can you do to protect your bones? • • • • Get enough calcium & vitamin D and eat a well balanced diet. Engage in regular exercise. Eat foods that are good for bone health, such as fruits and vegetables. Avoid smoking & limit alcohol to 2-3 drinks per day. 810.658.1566 • 810.658.8044 Fax • www.davison-sc.org 19 Davison Area Senior Center 10135 Lapeer Rd.
