SENIORS ALIVE! FOR OCTOBER

HERE IS YOUR COPY OF THE OCTOBER ISSUE OF SENIORS ALIVE!

There is lots of good stuff in here. GHSS sponsors several shopping trips (Christmas IS coming!). Armchair Yoga is starting up, Tuesdays at 10. If you're interested give Janet Gilman a call at 503 478 3544. I had comments on our earlier announcement of armchair yoga from as far away as China! The next senior lunch will be held on 20 October; you've got to reserve for this no later than 14 October by calling Marie Merrow at 464  3067.

Hillsboro Senior Advisory Committee has included a schedule of doings for Seniors in our area. You should check it out. Pickelball anybody? And please don't forget the RUOK telephone assurance system that is run by the Hillsborough and Deering police departments.

One important announcement in this issue relates to the coming election on 8 NOVEMBER.

 First off, let me say, that you have a moral responsibility to vote. I don't care who you vote for, but I do care passionately that you vote for somebody.

Many people, maybe your friends and relatives, have died in wars fought to protect our right to vote, beginning with our great Revolution and continuing to this day against the very dark forces of ISIS.

African Americans and  Women in the United States were denied the right to vote for far too long. Even today in some districts laws have been passed that have the effect of limiting the ability to vote.

This right we have to vote for our representatives was hard fought for and fragile. Do no sit out any election.

GHSS is doing its bit to help you vote by providing transport to the polls at least. If you need a ride give Marie Mogavero a call at 464 4726.
