If you haven’t been to a Lunch and Learn lately you are really missing out - the
food is great and the subject matter fascinating. This month the spotlight is on
EYEsight – please LOOK at the date, Monday, May 11th, which is an unusual day
for L&L. Come to eat and learn how to make the most of your vision.
You’ve already missed some FUN dances! Ask around – those who came and
contra danced with us in March had a great time! It’s like line dancing only better,
right Joan, Joan, Stella, Mary, Raquel and others who were there? We’d love to see
more people at the May dance, with our old favorite, Tom Yook. It’s Saturday,
May 16, at 7:00pm in Panorama Hall.
Now that the winter months are behind us, we really have no reason for a dirty
car. Get your MotoSpa coupons here – just ask for one at the front desk - ½ of what
you pay comes back to support CRSC, and you get a $13 car wash for $10. Plus, as
I find every time I go there, it’s a kaleidoscopic experience. That car wash is so
unusual! It’s full of sights and sounds and most of all COLORS! If you haven’t
tried it yet, grab a friend to go with you – you can oooh and ahhh together as your
car gets cleaned!
Please spread the word about your Senior Center – take some newsletters to your
doctor, your church, or other places. At the very least, you could drop off some
brochures as you move around town. Think about your peers who haven’t yet
discovered this incredible Senior Center – and see me for a handful of brochures.

You will note the addition of some trips this month that have no Activity
Fees associated with them. We have some grant funding available to us for
very specific trips and will take advantage of these funds when possible. We
encourage you to participate in these free trips. Please sign up in advance,
as always, as we need to solicit drivers and arrange vehicles. The first time
you go on one of these trips, you will be asked to fill out a special rider form
for our records for reimbursement.
¨ Please note the unusual sign up day for May activities. It is Wednesday,
April 29th, beginning at 8:30 AM. This is because of the 9News Health Fair
taking place at the Rec Center on our usual sign-up day, Friday, April 24th.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Our part-time receptionist position is now job-shared, and we welcome Lorry
Bishop, who will be managing the front desk Monday and Tuesday mornings or
as needed. Lorry currently has an important mission, taking care of the needs of
her parents. In the last year she moved them to a condo in Castle Rock, selling
their long-time home in Colorado Springs. She enjoyed renovating and
decorating their new place, and says they love it. She is just 1.5 miles away and
sees them nearly every day; she says this means the world to her and she’s
fortunate to be able to be there for them, although she admits that it’s hard to see
them age. Lorry is also close to her twin sister who lives in Denver. Lorry and
her husband love to travel and to try out new restaurants. A favorite restaurant
she recommends is The Pepper Tree in Colorado Springs, which she says is
quaint with gorgeous views and wonderful food. Her other passion is traveling,
which she and her husband love to do. She dreams of taking her extended family
with her to Hawaii someday, and the places on her wish list include Tahiti and
Bora Bora. Maybe she’ll take us!!!

It’s not too early to get planning for our Craft Show. Here are some ways you can participate now:
Fran Filyau
Bridget Folan
1) We know how talented many of you are. Could you make some of your wonderful craft items,
Phyllis Frindt
and then donate them to the Center to sell at our booth at the show? Your skills will make people
Jim Gantner
happy and will make some money for the Center. Let Debbi Haynie know what you will donate.
Neomi Garcia
2) Could you teach something at a craft class here so that others could help make more of them to
Joan Goldberg
sell at the show? See Debbi if you’re interested.
Gene Gray
Sandy Guidry
3) We get craft supplies donated all year. If you are in need of supplies for your craft, Debbi will
Dottie Gunner
keep her eyes open for any donations that come in.

Volunteer of the Month
May Volunteer: Doris Rollins
It’s tough keeping up with our Volunteer of the Month, Doris Rollins. She appears to
be everywhere, whether it’s out in the community soliciting sponsorships for an event,
sitting at the front desk as a receptionist, having one of many meetings she regularly
attends as one of our Vice Presidents, working the land at the Senior Center garden,
brainstorming and organizing new fundraising programs for the Center, or schussing down
the slopes of Loveland Ski Area as a member and trainer of the Ski Patrol. Imagine all that
she would be doing if she had moved here before 2011.
Doris and her husband, Gordon, retired here after her two children moved to this area
and she wanted to be close to them, just like many of you did. All four of her
grandchildren, whom she lovingly refers to as “the grandmonsters,” are now teenagers and
she enjoys having them close by. She and Gordon have been married 48 years, having met
after she finished nursing school and he received his commission in the U.S. Army. They
lived all over the U.S. and Europe during his career in the armed forces.
She worked as a nurse in a variety of roles, but it was while working for Kaiser
Permanente that she transitioned into an unlikely new field, telecommunications, a
booming high-tech area that she found she really enjoyed. She retired from George Mason University in Virginia, but as you
can see from all she does here, one can hardly call her retired!
We love uncovering interesting facts about our volunteers: you’ll never believe that Doris grew up speaking French,
although she admits she’s rusty at the beautiful language now and has barely an accent. She grew up in Rhode Island in an area
dominated by French heritage. She says she never spoke English until first grade, where, in her Catholic French-speaking
school they were required by the government to speak English one day a week. Though she was an only child, she came from a
large immigrant family and had thirty-two first cousins all in the area. She said she could never misbehave, because someone in
her family would know about it.
Not being one to sit around, she and Gordon started playing golf in the Senior Center league when they moved here, and
since he traveled so much, she decided to check out the Center. She remembers the first time she got on the bus, not knowing
anyone, to go out for a meal, and returned with a dozen friends. She knows the valuable service the Center
provides, so
even though she’s busy with ski patrol, her family and other obligations, she says she will continue doing whatever she can to
help the Senior Center succeed. Make sure and thank Doris the next time you see her - if you can catch up with her to do so!
Thank you, Doris.

This holistic, natural, complimentary therapy works on the principle that energy balance will lead to increased vitality and greater
enjoyment of life. Your feet and hands are considered the meridians, or pathways in the body, along which vital energy is said to flow.
These meridians can be blocked from chronic pain, toxins, and waste products from medications and food-related harmful substances.
When this happens you may lack energy, feel tired, fatigued or
unmotivated. Your organs have to work harder to function and
that takes even more energy out of you.
Reflexology can loosen the blockades to allow for increased
circulation so that nutrients, oxygen, hormones the body produces,
and energy will all flow along the meridians, and you are once
again balanced. Everything in your body is interconnected, and
when energy flows are open, your organs and cells can function
properly.
Reflexologists work from maps of predefined pressure points
(see map on right) that are located on the hands and feet. These
pressure points connect directly through the nervous system and
affect the body's organs and glands. The reflexologist manipulates
the pressure points according to specific techniques of reflexology
therapy. By means of this touching therapy, any part of the body
that is the source of pain, illness, or potential disability can be
strengthened through the application of pressure at the respective
foot or hand location. New vitality can flow and bring you
relaxation, stress reduction, better coping mechanisms for pain,
more energy and enjoyment of life.
I am a certified Reflexologist and conduct sessions at the
Senior Center on Fridays from 9am-12pm. Sign-up for a
30-minute session at the front desk or by phone. The reduced price sessions are $15 for members and $18 for non-members. If you have
questions about whether this is something that might help you, call me at 303-564-6300. I can also schedule a treatment for you at a more
convenient time if Fridays don’t work. I look forward to making your hands and feet happy, with an extra touch on your whole body
system.

We live in a beautiful state and a beautiful area, so join us for some hikes
this season. Phyllis picks itineraries that are close and are hikeable for
seniors. Gateway Mesa is a 1.8 mile loop that connects to the Mitchell Creek
Canyon 1.5 mile segment in the Founders area. The first part of the hike is
on a bluff with steep, rock-capped cliffs overlooking the Cherry Creek
Valley and the Rocky Mountains. The second part winds through a narrow
riparian canyon in which hikers will travel through four habitats with a wide
variety of wildlife. Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring plenty of water
and a snack, sunscreen and dress for the weather.
More of you need to find out about Pickleball, the fastest growing
senior sport in the U.S. It’s played on a small court with a low net and
lightweight whiffle balls, either singles or doubles. Dan Mitchell will
facilitate clinics to learn to play on Thursdays in May at 9:00 AM at our
outdoor court at Founder’s Park. If you are interested in finding out if
this is something for you, pick up a map and game rules at the Senior
Center front desk, and meet Dan at the park on a Thursday or two.
In lieu of a "Remembering our Veterans" (ROV)
meeting in May, ROV and the Senior Center have
scheduled a trip to the National Museum of WWII
Aviation in Colorado Springs on Tuesday, May 19th,
followed by lunch at the nearby Airplane Restaurant.
Please see more information below and we encourage
all veterans to go on this trip if you are able.

Airplane Museum (yes, you’ll eat in a plane) for lunch
(on your own). Please sign up in advance so we can

These two special shopping trips have no Activity Fee,
and your purchases will raise funds for the Center.
Short Trip:
Leaves here at 9:00 – board bus to return at 11:30

with free lunch and entertainment with the theme “Route 66 Road Trip”
sponsored by the Salvation Army in Denver. You will be back at the Center about
2:00 PM, and it’s all free.
2) Thursday, May 7th at 8:45 AM we will go to the Parker Senior Center for the

OUT TO LUNCH - “The Perfect Landing” in Centennial
Friday, May 22 10:45 AM $6 ($12 non-members)
This is way different than the musicals we usually go to see, but sometimes you
just have to do something different. This is a one-man show that is the longest
solo-show running on Broadway. The show deals with how men and women
relate to each other. There will be some “adult humor,” as you’d expect, but
you’re adults so they will let you in the theater. Plus, it’s in the beautiful and
easy to get to (right up the escalator from where you are dropped off) Galleria
Theatre at the Performing Arts Center. Get ready to laugh and have some fun.
Come see why The Perfect Landing is called “Denver’s Hidden Gem
Restaurant.” Not only will you have a delightful lunch featuring signature salads,
sandwiches and their special fresh cod fish and chips or crab and bacon mac
and cheese, but you’ll get a bird’s eye view of the take-offs and landings of the
planes. IMPORTANT NOTE: The restaurant is up a flight of stairs. Activity Fee
doesn’t include the cost of your individual brunch.

steak done right. You know they are doing something right as more restaurants
are always opening. You’ll find steaks of every kind and size, along with chops,
seafood and chicken, all prepared fresh to order. Come give this relatively new
restaurant to our area a try. Activity Fee doesn’t include the cost of your
individual dinner.
You will get a tour of this very large retirement community in Highlands Ranch,
and the chef will prepare a delicious complimentary lunch for participants.

Feel free to stop in and hear from Kaiser about the changes in Medicare ABCD.
There are some policies that can be changed throughout the year.
While this 1 or 2 mile walk for seniors may be local in Festival Park, we want to
have some fun by going together in a free bus (from a grant) from here. That
way you don’t have to worry about parking, and we can make sure to let
everyone there know that the Senior Center has arrived!! Participants can
complete either of the two walks, with refreshments available afterwards. You
can also attend the softball and cookout event below (the bus can drop you off
there). Let’s support the Town of Castle Rock in the fitness walk.
NEW - Low Vision Support Group
Tuesday, May 19 1:00 PM No Charge
If you have vision problems of any kind or severity, you know how difficult it can

for people with low vision. It will meet monthly, on the third Tuesday, at 1:00 PM
and will be facilitated by Laura from the “Beyond Vision Program” of the Center
for People with Disabilities. Invite any seniors you know who may benefit from
this group. Laura is a wealth of knowledge for services that are available to you.

Two of our 3 softball teams will be playing at Metzler Park so we’re taking a bus

on a beautiful Colorado day.

Happy Mother’s Day
Our Senior Center library is a great
service for everyone, and did you know
that we also have greeting cards? We
occasionally receive card donations and
we have a holder outside the library
where we display cards. We sell these
cards for far less money than you’d pay
in retail stores. Just stop by the
front desk to pay for them. This month
you will find some Mother’s Day cards.
Many of us no longer have our mothers with us, but we carry them in
our hearts. Our mothers were the first person we knew, the first to love
us, our first friends and probably the first to worry about us. Some of us
are mothers ourselves, some grandmothers and some even are
great-grandmothers. That is not to say that our male members are not
wonderful fathers and grandfathers, but, hey this month is May and it’s
Mother’s Day!! To mothers everywhere...Happy Mother’s Day!

2015 Ducky Derby
Saturday, June 7, 2014
Castle Rock - Festival Park
Perry & 2nd Street
11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Duckys race at 3:00 p.m.
HERE IS HOW THE DERBY WORKS
After you purchase a numbered ticket, a "rubber ducky" is
entered into the derby race with the number on your ticket
affixed to one of our highly trained ducks. Only those
duckies that have a ticket sponsor will be allowed to race in
the Derby. On the day of the race we release all the duckies
that have a sponsor, at the same time, into the water at the
starting point on Plum Creek. Then these highly trained
duckies RACE like crazy for the finish line.
If your duck, with your ticket number, is the first, second or
third to make it to the finish line in Plum Creek ....you win
$2000 for first and a chance to win $1 million, $750 for
second and a chance to win a new car, or $250 for third
place. Every numbered ticket has a corresponding
number affixed to a ducky. One ticket, one ducky!
All of our rubber duckies are in training right now, for this
big annual derby race. Each ducky is anxious to be in the
Derby Race. Ducky tickets are available at the Center for a
$5 donation, or 5 for $20.

Look at the “leprechauns” (above) who joined us for the St. Pat’s potluck
(left) Many of the Remembering our Veterans meetings include plenty of
time to look at the memorabilia the presenters bring along. Very interesting.
Our first Contra Dance was held in March and those who came learned some fun dances. We have dances the 3rd Saturday of the month.
