TOUCHMARK ON WEST CENTURY

THE{FULL}LIFE

May 2014

Spotlighting volunteersIn April, the community celebrated Touchmark volunteers. “They do so much for our community, averaging over 100 hours of volunteer hours each month,” says Life Enrichment Director Amy Miller.

Two specific volunteers, Edith Ripplinger and Bob Keim, give back to the community in several ways. Edith, who joined Touchmark in 2009, helps wherever she can. She works at the Coffee and More Store, helps at parties, waters plants, serves on committees, and more.

Bob is a full-time volunteer from the broader Bismarck community. He makes a weekly stop, working in the store, leading PO-KE-NO, calling Bingo, and offering his gardening skills, when the opportunity arises.

Check out the updated club Sporting new carpet and a few new pieces of exercise equipment, the club has a new look. “There are some unique pieces that will give you a great workout, and may be unlike anything you’ve ever tried before,” says Nicholas Henkelman, club director.

Get in shape for summer Welcome the summer with extra energy. Stop by and see what classes, equipment, and other options are available to increase your fitness level and health. If you enjoy exercising with others, a class may be great for you. If you’re looking for specific goals, stop by and talk to one of the club’s certified personal trainers. They can create a program that will help you meet your goals.

Keep your strength year round! Many people decide to skip strength training during the summer as they exercise more outside. But maintaining your strength will help you be more effective in all your exercising (and in life!) If you have questions about your current program, or a new program, set up a time to visit with a personal trainer.

{COLOR}FULL Living—How does your garden grow?

Master gardeners are some of the most passionate, knowledgeable, and committed people I have ever met. They spend hours learning all the pros and cons of which plants need to go where. They assess soil, sun, and shade needs as well as overall balance for the environment and success for the garden.
