A deposit must be paid at the time of sign-up or you may pay the full amount at that time. We would

appreciate it if you would pay by check as it makes bookkeeping easier. Please remember to book your trip as

soon as you decide to go. All trips have to be paid 1 to 1&1/2 months before trip date unless otherwise stated.

This will cause less cancelling of trips for not enough interest. We recommend that you take out insurance at the time of deposit

for full coverage on longer trips. If we cancel a trip or the tour company cancels, you will receive a refund. There will be no

refunds from us once we have paid the travel company its first payment when the trip is a go. We will be glad to arrange monthly

payments for you. So, come on and travel with us.

you have and ask your friends and neighbors if they have

items that they would like to donate. The income from our

Thrift Shop is now a very strong source of support for our

operating fund.

Public Welcome 9am-3pm Mon.- Fri.

Please remember us!

The Fourth of July weekend was approaching, and Miss

Pelham, the nursery school teacher, took the opportunity to

tell her class about patriotism. 'We live in a great country,' she

announced. 'One of the things we should be happy is that, in

this country, we are all free.'

Trevor, who was a little boy in her class, came walking up to

her from the back of the room. He stood with his hands on

his hips and said loudly, 'I'm not free. I'm four.'

WEDNESDAYS AT 12:30 PM

prevent you from doing yoga? Have you been curious

about yoga but were concerned about feeling out of place

in a class? This class is for you! Improve your posture,

increase your flexibility, build strength, and reclaim your

ability to balance. Practice standing and seated yoga poses

(all with the support of a chair) that meet your physical

needs now while expanding your abilities over time, and

enjoy breathing and relaxation techniques to invite inner

calm and clarity. This is a gentle approach to yoga, We will

not be down on the floor for any poses. Please bring a mat

to place underneath your chair for safety and stability.

Thank you.--

Terri

The Importance of What We Do

Being Part Of Our Community

1. We are still a collection site for the Food Pantry. At this time, pasta and sauces are needed. Please buy a second

something on sale and drop it off here. They also need canned and packaged goods that won’t spoil.

2. Eyeglasses are still being collected and given to the Lion’s Club.

3. Tabs from pop top cans (soda, tuna, cat food, etc.) are being collected for the Ronald McDonald House, which shelters

families of children who are seriously ill or injured. We give them to the Women’s Club who takes them to a McDonald’s

repository.

4. Both our choral group “The Sunshine Singers” and our band “The Impossibles” go to different nursing homes and

assisted living facilities to entertain those residents every month.

5. Please bring in any post-marked stamps to the front desk. We collect cancelled stamps, and they are given to

the Blind Association.

6. The V.A. Clinic in Allentown has a little coffee room available to patients while they wait for their appointments. They

need sugar, tea bags, artificial sweeteners and stirrers.

7. We are now recycling our used papers and newspapers at our Center. The Milford Volunteer Fire Dept. has a dumpster

in our parking lot. Please feel free to use it.

8. We are collecting pennies for Cancer Research. Please bring your pennies and loose change in to help.

9. We are sending gift boxes to our Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. We need more donations to fill our boxes.

10. We help support Quakertown’s Fourth Of July Fireworks Display with our Bingo-In-The-Park and selling Pulled

Pork Sandwiches at these 2 fundraising booths.

Today as before, our brave do fight

For a land they love, a flag so right

The pride of our country, yes they are

Strength of our nation, best by far

Just as our brave men from each war gone by

They march for us proudly, flag held high

From all over this land they come to serve

They’re taught by the best, this they deserve

When troops give their all, the world does see

Whether serving on land, the air or at sea

The pride from this country, march through war

With home drawn strength, held deep in their core

Our best are so awesome; their loved ones well know

May God guide their journey, where they for us go

What these brave must have is support from their own

The love from their people, firm thankfulness shown

Our greatest achievement is that we’re still free

Please take time to ponder who caused this to be.

History of The Upper Bucks Senior Activity Center T

The Upper Bucks Senior Activity Center is one of four centers operated by the Bucks County Association for

Retired and Senior Citizens, a non-profit organization. Our center provides activities and services for anyone

over 55 years of age. Fifty years ago in 1966, approximately 300 people gathered at our Center’s first home, the

United Church of Christ at 4th Street and Park Avenue, in Quakertown. They were there to see the culmination

of their planning for a place, where people could come and meet old friends, make new friends, keep minds and

hands busy and develop new skills. In 1981 the Center found a temporary new home at St. John’s Lutheran

Church at 10th Street and West Broad Street. In 1982, the Municipality of Quakertown bought the Acme on 4th

Street, which was renovated to become the home for our Center. At that time, the Borough of Quakertown

graciously agreed to accept a rent from us of one dollar per year, for twenty-five years. That building was our

home for twenty-five years, until a fire completely destroyed the building on June 29th 2007. We then moved

into the Trinity Lutheran Church at 102 North Hellertown Avenue on July 9th 2007. On June 5th, 2008 we

moved into the Milford Fire House where we are at the present.

This year we will be celebrating fifty years as our area’s Senior Activity Center !

Come on out and join in the activities here.

Have a fun July 4th . . In Quakertown

Start your morning off with a bang - with a

pancake breakfast. Following breakfast your day

will be crammed with music, song, dance, water

battles, Bingo, games for children and all the food

you can eat ! As the afternoon shades into evening,

grab your chairs and blankets. Gather around for

amazing renditions of traditional and patriotic

tunes by famous Quakertown Band ! As the music

winds down, darkness sets the scene for

Quakertown’s traditional fireworks ! Our center

will be selling Pulled Pork Sandwiches and doing

the Bingo.

Spend The Day With Family And Friends

At Quakertown’s Community Day

On Friday, July 4th !

The Good Old Days

“When I was a kid,” the old man said, “My mother could send

me to the store, and I’d get a salami, two pints of milk, six

oranges, two loaves of bread, a magazine and a pair of blue jeans,

all for a dollar!” He continued, “You can’t do that anymore. They

got those darn video cameras every where you look!”

14

MANY CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED OVER THE YEARS AND YOU MAY REMEMBER…When Sunday’s were serious days

of church, rest, quiet, car rides, family visits, reading thick Sunday newspapers with pages of funnies or listening to a ball game

on the radio. Stores were closed and also the movies…Week day newspapers cost 3cents while the Sunday editions cost 10

cents…Summer entertainment included going to Central, Dorney or Willow Grove Amusement Parks…Locally there were

Firemen’s carnivals in Quakertown, Richlandtown, Milford Square, Coopersburg and Sellersville with musical entertainment,

games like bingo, penny pitch, ring the canes, gambling wheels with groceries, watermelons or blankets for prizes and no

amusement rides…Linda Lake, Menlo Park in Perkasie, Blue Dove in Coopersburg and Eichner’s Grove next to the Tohickon

Creek for swimming. Rowboats and canoes were also popular at Eichner’s…an icebox to keep your food cold was a must in

each kitchen. The truck hauling the ice usually had a heavy tarp cover to keep the ice from melting. A sign in the front window of

the house showed the ice man the size of ice to deliver. Children would empty the ice pan under the box…Just married couples

would drive around town with car horns blaring and tin cans tied to the rear car bumpers…Most babies being born at home with

only the doctor making the delivery…Rubber baby pants and only cloth diapers…Children using hand held school bags instead

of shoulder backpacks…Most men wearing dress straw hats in the summer and fedora hats the rest of the year. True gentlemen

tipping their hats to ladies…Listening to WSM radio broadcast nationally of the “Grand Ole Opry” featuring Roy Acuff, Patsy

Cline, The Carter family, Bill Monroe and many other stars along with comedians, Cousin Minnie Pearl and the Duke of

Paducah…Quakertown steam laundry, Nicholas & Diehl Hardware, Charlie Texter’s Drug Store…Stoneback & Nase Company –

General Contractors & Millwork, Arthur Booth Plumbing, Russ Schantz Real Estate & Insurance in Trumbauersville

When you see a soldier, be sure to

shake his hand and let that soldier

know you’re grateful for the

protection the military affords our

land. But most of all express your

thanks for every soldier’s personal

sacrifice. In order to serve our

country, they risked their entire

lives.

Labor Day . . . And What It Means . . .

The history of Labor Day seems

unimportant for what has become a

wonderful end of summer. Beach

parties, pool parties, barbecues

and fireworks. Labor Day is

celebrated the first Monday in

September. This is the last three

day holiday weekend of the

summer. The original celebration

included parades of the local labor

unions and speeches by prominent

local politicians. We look at Labor

Day today as a last chance to get

away before Fall and Winter set in.

It is important to remember that

this day is set aside to celebrate the

hard work of the people that make

America great !

Celebrate This Last Day Of Summer

With Your family and Friends !

Two Women And Cards

Two elderly ladies had been friends since their 30’s. Now

in their 80’s, they still got together a couple times a week

to play cards. One day they were playing gin rummy and

one of them said, “You know, we’ve been friends for many

years and, please don’t get mad, but for the life of me, I

can’t remember your name. Please tell me what it is.” Her

friend glared at her. She continued to glare and stare at her for at least

three minutes. Finally, she said, “How soon do you need to know???

Safety And Efficiency In Our Kitchen I am asking all of our

Members to help maintain efficiency in our kitchen. You can help by stopping by our kitchen window whenever

you would like to talk to any of our kitchen staff. This will help speed things up while they are preparing and

serving food. Also, I am always concerned for the safety of all of our Members, and with this in mind, please

visit with our kitchen staff members out in the dining room. A commercial kitchen can be a dangerous place for

slips and falls ! Sara
