Father`s Day & Birthday Dance Celebration
Come Join Encore on Board A Spirit Cruise
Thursday, July 23rd.
Cooperation
Benjamin Franklin is reported
to have said at the signing of
the Declaration of Independence.
"We must all hang together,
or assuredly we shall
all hang separately,"
It’s not the guns nor armament,
Nor funds that they can pay,
But the close cooperation,
That makes them win the day.
It’s not the individual,
Nor the army as a whole,
But the everlasting team-work
Of every bloomin' soul.
Encore is sponsoring a trip on the Spirit Cruise Line that departs from
Chelsea Piers in New York City. at 12:00 PM. Boarding of the ship
takes place at 11:30.
You will be given a delicious lunch buffet which is open throughout
the cruise. You can sample a variety of dishes, including several veg‐
etarian options, and save room for a decadent dessert assortment. A
DJ will provide music for dancing and you will also want to make time
to take in the incredible views floating by.
A Tour guide provides interesting facts about sights along Spirit’s
route like the Freedom Tower, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and
Governors Island. You’ll also enjoy panoramic views of the New York
City and New Jersey skylines from the windows along the dining
decks or from our outdoor observation lounge.
If you are interested in attending the Cruise, please see Nieves, the
by J. Mason Knox senior center Assistant Director as soon as possible and she will pro‐
vide you with the rest of the information. First come first served.
A VERY BIG THANK YOU
to “Sing for your Seniors” and
“Broadway Cares/Equity fights Aids”
for their generous donation of a
beautiful piano to Encore.

Age Related
Vision Loss
Tuesday July 28th
WORKSHOP: “Age Related Vision Loss”
Presented by Thomas L McCarville MA (Vision Rehabilitation Therapist)
An increasing proportion of the aging population experiences eye problems that make
simple daily tasks difficult or impossible, even when wearing glasses or contact lenses.
Severe eye problems are not just a matter of "getting older." The risk of severe eye problems has been found to increase significantly with age, particularly in those over age 65.
Most causes of age related visual impairment in the elderly are presbyopia, cataracts,
age related macular degeneration, primary open angle glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Untreated visual impairment leads to physical handicap, increased incidence of fall,
depression, social isolation and dependency. Active screening for visual loss in the elderly should be part of the health examination.
