Hello Young at Heart Friends and Family;
St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner. So, Young at Heart is celebrating all week long! Today we had an awesome Cooking Class!! While participants sipped on Bailey’s Irish Cream samples, the Ginger Chef served up “Sheet Pan Meals” of Meatloaf and Roasted Potatoes, Chicken and Roasted Vegetables, and two Pan Pizzas. We topped it all off with Baileys St. Patrick’s Day Pizza Dessert. I will let the attached pictures, (compliments of Mary Ellen Novakoski), speak for themselves.
Wednesday, Nancy Patten will be playing an Irish Harp while we enjoy the BirthDay Brunch. This will be a teaser, as Nancy will be back on April 17th at 1:00 to share with YAH, the history of the Irish Harp, playing music from a variety of eras.
This Wednesday, March 15th at 1:30 is also the first class of the Technology Literacy Workshop. Come, test your knowledge of what you already know, and learn something new. Please RSVP.
Yoga is off to a great start! Come join the new class, (Wednesdays at 12:45), stretch, relax, build core strength and flexibility. Your body may scream at first, but it will say “thank you” next time your step is a little off balance.
Chair Tai Chi has also been going strong! While you may be seated, you will still experience a wonderful workout and gain a centering practice. Chair Tai Chi meets each Monday and Wednesday at 10:45-11:45.
NEXT WEEK: Investigating Fires: Monday, March 20th at 12:30, Plainfield District Fire Chief, Kyle Svoboda will be sharing his stories and expertise about fire investigations and fire safety. Chief Svoboda is the local CSI of arson, our own “Chicago Fire,” live and in-person! Fascinating stuff!!!
LOOKING AHEAD: Calvin Nursing Students will be engaging with YAH as they do an Art Therapy Project together on Wednesday, March 29th at 10:00-11:30. It is always fun when we combine the energy of the youth and the sages of today. The Calvin Nursing Students have repeatedly stated YAH is one of their favorite educational sites. Join in the fun. The more the merrier!
There is never a dull moment at YAH. We look forward to each day, learning something new and sharing in the fun with friends of old and new!
“May God grant you always….. A Sunbeam to warm you, a Moonbeam to charm you, a Sheltering Angel so nothing can harm you. Laughter to cheer you, Faithful Friends near you. And whenever you pray, Heaven to hear you.” An Irish Blessing.
