It is always an exciting time for so many of us who take part in putting together this event every year. Believe it when I say it takes a whole year to get everything ready for these events. It is not just the directors, but the Genesee County Office of Senior Services, the Senior Winter Games Board, and the sponsors and of course the behind the scenes staff at each office of the senior centers. We are ever so grateful for all of those who put a lot of time and effort into this annual program. Please make sure you look through the newsletter very carefully. There are some new programs and events coming available this spring. If you know of someone who does not receive our newsletter please advise them of our web page. Joie is very good at making sure it is up to date. If you have not had a chance to attend any of the dances that are held here on a regular basis, please look at that dates mentioned in the newsletter and on our webpage to see if one fits into your schedule. You will be pleasantly surprised and enjoy the lovely music that is played. Even if you are not a dancer or you do not have a partner it is fun to sit and enjoy the music and socialize. There are at least 4 dances a month and they are not all held on the weekends. I would like to remind everyone reading this; we will be closed on Friday, February 12th & Monday, February 15th, in observance of Lincoln’s Birthday & Presidents’ Day.

Of those, 40% are likely to have multiple falls over the course of the year, and more than 200,000 people fractured their hips in a fall last year alone! Those are some grim statics, but the good news is that there is help available. Advanced Physical Therapy Center has a fall prevention treatment plan, and it’s one that is helping patients stay on their feet. Many times, the number one reason someone has been moved into a nursing home is because of a fall. Patients can reduce their risk of falling by making some changes at home and by letting us help them make their bodies stronger. ͺΟΔΠΞΖ͑΅ΒΩ͑ ͲΡΡΠΚΟΥΞΖΟΥΤ͒͑͑ ͲΡΡΠΚΟΥΞΖΟΥΤ͒ ΅ΙΖ͑ʹΖΟΥΖΣ͑ΚΤ͑ΥΒΜΚΟΘ͑ ΒΡΡΠΚΟΥΞΖΟΥΤ͑͑ ΗΠΣ͑ΥΒΩ͑ΤΖΒΤΠΟ͒͑͑ ͲͲ͑·ΠΝΦΟΥΖΖΣΤ͑ΨΚΝΝ͑ΓΖ͑ΙΖΣΖ͑ΠΟ͑ ΈΖΕΟΖΤΕΒΪΤ͑͝ΗΣΠΞ͑ͪͫ͑͡͡Β͟Ξ͑͟ΥΠ͑ͤͫ͑͡͡Ρ͟Ξ͑͟ ͷΖΓΣΦΒΣΪ͑ͤΣΕ͑ΥΙΣΦ͑ͲΡΣΚΝ͑ͤ͢ΥΙ͑ͣͧ͑͑͢͝͡ ΥΠ͑ΕΠ͑ΚΟΔΠΞΖ͑ΥΒΩΖΤ͑ΗΠΣ͑ͣͦ͑͑͑͢͟͡ ΅ΙΚΤ͑ΤΖΣΧΚΔΖ͑ΚΤ͑ΠΟΝΪ͑ΗΠΣ͑ΤΚΞΡΝΖ͑ΥΒΩ͑ΣΖΥΦΣΟΤ͒͑͑ ΊΠΦ͑ΞΦΤΥ͑ΔΒΝΝ͑ΗΠΣ͑ΒΟ͑ΒΡΡΠΚΟΥΞΖΟΥ͑ΒΥ͑ ͩͧͦͩͦͧͧ͑͢͟͟͢͡ Includes: Light Lunch, Snacks & Beverages, Music for your listening & dancing enjoyment.

Phony “IRS” threatens fines… Tax time is near, so be on alert for the IRS scam. The Federal Trade Commission reports that, from 2013-2014, complaints about the “IRS Scam” increased twentyfold, with more than 54,000 Americans being targeted in 2014. Fraudsters often target immigrants or older Americans less likely to have the knowledge or support system that would keep them from falling into the trap. Typically, the scammer calls posing as an “IRS agent” saying back taxes are owed. After threats of penalties and even jail time, the bogus agent turns helpful, providing a solution that involves sending cash in a quick and untraceable way. If you get such a call: • Assume it’s a scam-The IRS doesn’t call people about back taxes; it will send you a notice by mail. • Hang up. Any information you provide may mark you for more bogus calls. • Report the incident. Report it to the U.S. Treasury inspector general for tax administration at 800.366.4484. If contacted by email, forward it to the IRS at phishing@irs.gov. 810.658.1566 Information St. Patrick’s Day Luncheon Sponsored by Brookdale of Davison Thursday, March 17, 2016 12:00 p.m. Menu ~ TBA MUST RSVP—810.658.1566 The new form of stress release… Colorama Coloring If you are interested, Mondays 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. @ the Davison Area Senior Center We have the supplies & a room, come and release some stress & recharge yourself!
