Call the office soon if you need to see one of our counselors at 810.658.1566. Some supplemental plans are changing! On Thursday, October 6th from 1:30 – 2:30 p.m. you will have the opportunity to talk to a nurse from Heart to Heart. This will be a round table format discussion. Our hopes are that you will ask questions that you sometimes don’t have the chance to ask while you are at your doctor visit. PLEASE RSVP 810.658.1566, so that we know how many refreshments to prepare. The Generation Band, Stone Country Band and the Sunday Bash groups all perform here every month. That is a total of five dances in a month. The perfect opportunity to come and listen, dance or just sit and enjoy good music and socialize. These are all live bands. It is not expensive and it is a great way to listen to the music YOU enjoy. We had a very nice Hand Chime Choir taught here. Unfortunately, our volunteer instructor is no longer able to help us. If you are able to read music and would enjoy spending time with a lovely group of people, we would appreciate your help. This group meets weekly on Tuesdays at 1 p.m. We have everything you will need. Please call the office if you are interested at 810.658.1566. Thank you everyone who makes the Davison Area Senior Center such an inviting place to come. Our volunteers are one of the best assets we have. We could not do it without your donations, time and positive ideas.

Judge John Conover recently retired after serving for twenty-two years as Davison’s District Court Judge. His jurisdiction, ranging from small rural communities to the high crime areas of Genesee County, has given him first-hand involvement from farm animal disputes to child torture and murder cases. Because of his wonderful sense of humor, quick wit and wisdom in dispensing tough but fair rulings, he became a muchloved judge, speaker, and community activist. Now he has added “author” to that list with his recently published book, “Off Balance.” What is your book, “Off Balance”, about? 5WPFC[$CUJ 5WPFC[$CUJ 8CTKGV[/WUKE$[ 8CTKGV[/WUKE$[ ,KO$GVV[*GFTKEJ ,KO$GVV[*GFTKEJ 5WPFC[5GRVGODGT 5WPFC[5GRVGODGT —RO RO RO RRCVVJG&QQT RRCVVJG&QQT +PENWFGU.KIJV.WPEJ5PCEMU$GXGTCIGU +PENWFGU.KIJV.WPEJ5PCEMU$GXGTCIGU /WUKEHQT[QWTNKUVGPKPIFCPEKPI GPLQ[OGPV GPLQ[OGPV ;QWFQP’ ;QWFQP VPGGFCVKEMGVKPCFXCPEG VPGGFCVKEMGVKPCFXCPEG (QTOQTGKPHQTOCVKQPECNN (QTOQTGKPHQTOCVKQPECNN ,KO$GVV[*GFTKEJCV ,KO$GVV[*GFTKEJCV RSVP 810.658.1566 Hand Chimes Choir Class on Tuesdays @ 1:00 p.m. Coming programs… Our instructor for hand chimes can no longer teach. We are looking for someone to teach this class. This class is postponed until further notice! Thanks, Staff Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program Watch the newsletter for when & what time! 810.658.1566 Off Balance is a collection of about 175 funny anecdotal stories that happened in Judge Conover’s courtroom, and a few from his 20 previous years as a lawyer. These are all true stories and , as such, many are wrapped around a poignant event that is unhappy. However, there is always an off-balance twist that brings out the hilarious. If you really analyze what makes people laugh (the TV show “Funniest Home Videos” comes to mind), humor is almost always based on an underlying sad story. As human beings, we are blessed with an ability to laugh at ourselves, and even Judge Conover is often the target of the humor in Off Balance. • 810.658.8044 Fax • www.davison-sc.org 5 Food For Thought ~ “The Lunch Bunch” Daily Lunch 12:00 Noon each weekday GCCARD luncheon program.
