2 From the Director...

Bring on the warm weather! Our great June programs are going to help you get your

summer kicked off. Here are a couple things going on at the COA:

May was a month to honor our Mothers, now June is here and we do the same for Fathers.

We’ll enjoy one of our beautiful County parks, have a picnic and spend some time fishing

on Tuesday, June 20th. Don’t worry Dads, we won’t rely on anyone to catch our lunch that

day! I know you’ll enjoy the menu and the fishing will be relaxing. Everyone can start

working on their “fishing story” now - I know some of you will have good ones! Most

importantly this event will show respect to our Fathers and gratitude for being there

whenever we need them. Let me be the first to say “Thank you Dad!” I encourage any

senior Dad to invite their son and/or grandson to join them and make it a family event.

We also have a great schedule of day trips planned over the next couple of months. I invite

you to join us on one; it’s a convenient way to enjoy the rich history and beauty of

Southwest Michigan. We keep the cost of our trips affordable and access easy so anyone

can attend. Our trips have been filling up fast, so if there is something you are interested in

register as soon as you can.

Join us at the COA in June and we’ll look forward to a fun summer!

Tim

We love to celebrate Water Festival at the COA!

And once again, we will participate in the

traditional senior lunch in the park on Friday, June

16. Everyone is invited to meet at Scidmore Park

at the Pavilion behind the old hospital.

Ox-Roast sandwiches will be served at Noon.

Leave room for some delicious strawberry

shortcake from St. Johns Lutheran Church. YUM!

Bingo will start at 1 p.m. for any senior who

would like to participate.

Don’t forget to pre-register for lunch by calling the COA at (269) 279-8083.

Hope to see you there!

Thelma James and Rosemary Reed are chatting with Rep. Aaron Miller.

All seniors Dads are invited to attend our Father’s Day Celebration on Tuesday, June 20th. We will meet at Rawson’s King Mill Park at 10 a.m. for a morning of fishing and other games. At Noon we will enjoy a delicious cookout.

This is a great opportunity to spend the morning with your son and/or grandson. Invite them to this free event and create some special memories that will be treasured for years to come.

Senior

Summer is here and that means fresh fruits and vegetables are plentiful - especially at our local farmer’s markets.

The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program, known as Senior Project FRESH/Market FRESH in Michigan, provides older adults who

qualify with unprocessed, Michigan-grown products from authorized farmers markets and roadside stands throughout Michigan. Qualified

older adults receive coupons that are used to purchase Michigan-grown product at registered roadside stands and farmers markets.

Eligible items include berries, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, beans, honey and more. The program is free for both the participant and the

famer. It’s truly a win-win for Michigan farmers and older adults! Become a participating market or farmer.

How the Program Works:

Participants are given ten $2.00 vouchers to use at farmers markets and roadside stands that display a sign that reads “Senior Project

FRESH/Market FRESH Welcome Here”. The participant can choose from any Michigan-grown, non-processed product, including honey,

that is for sale. The participant uses the vouchers like cash to pay for the products.

Coupons cannot be used for items that are not normally grown in Michigan, such as bananas, oranges and pineapples. They also cannot be

used on potted plants, flowers, cheese, meat or eggs, even though some of these are good sources of nutrition. Participants are

encouraged to use all their coupons during the season, which ends October 31. If a participant has difficulty getting to a market, they can

assign a proxy.

If you received Project Fresh coupons last year, you most likely will qualify this year. Please call the office at (269) 279-8083 before you

stop by to make sure the coupons have arrived. If you would like to find out if you qualify for Project Fresh, please give us a call.

Local Author to Visit

Stop by and enjoy some light refreshments while local author Kelly

Pucci talks about her new book, Hidden History of St. Joseph County.

Ms. Pucci will be at the Three Rivers site on

Wednesday, June 14 at 10:30 am.

Hope to see you there!

June Movies June 7: Some Like It Hot

Marilyn Monroe’s birthday is June 1 and Tony Curtis would have

been 92 on June 3. So what better way to celebrate than by

watching this delightful romantic comedy starring Curtis, Monroe

and Jack Lemon. We’ll have ice cream sundaes since ice cream was

Marilyn Monroe’s favorite treat!

June 14: To Kill A Mockingbird

Fathers’ Day is just around the corner so why not watch a movie

about a great dad. Atticus Finch is a lawyer in the Depression-era

South and defends a black man against an undeserved rape charge

and his children against prejudice.

June 21 - Father of the Bride

This charming remake starring Steve Martin is another example of

what it means to be a great dad. In this story, dad is trying to cope

with the fact that his little girl is growing up as she prepares for her

wedding. Lots of laughs and a good tug at the heartstrings.

June 28 - Flicka

A sweet movie about a girl and her horse. And of course, since we

are celebrating dads this month - another movie with a great

father figure. Oatmeal cookies will be our treat that day!

Movies are shown at both our centers

every Wednesday at 1 p.m.

We Had a Great Time

Celebrating Mom! Our Mother’s Day Tea was a big hit at both our Three

Rivers and Sturgis sites. Guests enjoyed tea and a delicious buffet

of finger foods. They were entertained by the Silver Pipers Four, a

fantastic flute quartet.

The senior moms all received a teapot with a pansy planted in it.

Several seniors brought their daughters and/or their

granddaughters with them to enjoy the afternoon.
