Serving Older Adults has received
many calls asking about the future of
the senior centers and when they are
expected to open. Milwaukee County
recently informed us of their intention
to cut between $50,000 - $170,000 from
our 2021 budget and keep the centers
closed through March 2021. Please
reach out to the County Executive or
your County Supervisor and express
the importance of our centers to
ensure older adults in Milwaukee
County are thriving and have access to
resources. Ask them to maintain
current funding levels for 2021 and
reopen, with safety protocols in place,
the centers in 2020. Cuts to senior
center funding would mean reduced
access to health and wellness resources,
and so much more. We have listed
contact information for the County
Executive and County Supervisor for
each center.
Thank you!
Volunteers of the Month�
McGovern Park Senior Center wishes to
extend great appreciation for
the volunteers that help to make this
center the jewel that it is. Whether you
assisted in our first annual clean-up,
provided enrichment opportunities, or
took the initiative to give love and
support to your fellow McGoverners,
YOU ROCK! Thank you for your
continued support and know that we will
get through this together! WE ARE
McGOVERN STRONG!
Christine spent her working days as a retailer for Walgreens. When the
Kelly Senior Center is open, she would attend weekly for Wii Bowling
and monthly Wii Bowling tournaments. Christine has been a regular
volunteer for the South Milwaukee senior center. When the Kelly
Senior Center converted to carry out dining, she offered to mask up
and help out. She now volunteers in the Kelly dining site two days a
week, assembling meals and helping the staff keep on top of
registrations and paperwork. Thank you, Christine, for all you do in
the community and for helping keep us going!
Charlotte has been a volunteer at Clinton Rose Senior
Center for many years. Charlotte leads the Walks with
Ease exercise group. Since the Covid-19 pandemic,
Charlotte has been committed to helping us serve
meals and do wellness calls daily. We don’t know what
we would do without all of her support and
dedication. Thank you Charlotte for being our super
star volunteer this year!
A huge thanks to our volunteers who are helping the
Wilson Senior Center distribute over 650 meals a week.
We truly could not do it without you!
Volunteers of the Month�
Shout out to Washington Park Senior Center volunteer Dwight who has stepped
up to lead outdoor hand weights on Mondays and Wednesdays. He was
instrumental in our being able to offer this outdoor program and he brings a
wonderful and bright energy to class every week. We so appreciate his hard work
and dedication.
Also, a special thanks to our other outdoor program volunteers; Pat, who
teaches Silver Steppers on Fridays; Jane, who teaches Yoga on Mondays; and
Mahasin, who teaches hand weights on Fridays. You all help keep our
participants healthy and active.

8 | PUZZLE CORNER �
Puzzle Corner�
Answers can be found on page 17.�
Connections game: The aim of this puzzle
is to help stimulate the brain and allow it to
make connections. Here’s how to play. In
the left column there are a pair of words.
Your goal is to find a third word that is con-
nected or associated with both words. Let’s
take the first pair as an example: PIANO
and LOCK. The answer is KEY. The word
key relates to both the word piano and the
word lock: there are KEYS on a piano and
you use a KEY to lock doors. Now try out
the next ten:
1. LOCK — PIANO
2. SHIP — CARD
3. TREE — CAR
4. SCHOOL — EYE
5. PILLOW — COURT
6. RIVER — MONEY
7. BED — PAPER
8. ARMY — WATER
9. TENNIS — NOISE
10. EGYPTIAN — MOTHER
11. SMOKER — PLUMBER

Channel your inner elf and bring some
Christmas cheer to children in the Milwaukee
area. Every year, thousands of children write
letters to Santa and drop them in the mailbox at
Cathedral Square Park. We have the unique
opportunity to help Santa respond to these
letters! It is a great way to give back and celebrate
the season of giving. We are looking for
volunteers to help us with this exciting project.
Contact your local center for more information
about how you can help and when letters can be
picked up.
All materials will be provided.

Volunteers Needed�
We need volunteers! Your generous time will provide meaningful support for the seniors we serve. We are currently
in need of the following volunteers:
Daily Meal Service – this volunteer would help with getting lunches ready for pick up,
carrying meals to curbside, checking names, and providing a smile for older adults
receiving a meal. We practice safety protocals and masks are required. Volunteer would
need to commit to 2 hours, one or two times per week, from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm,
Monday-Friday.
Wellness Calls – Many of the seniors who normally attend our five centers are isolated
and lonely because of COVID-19. We make routine calls to see how they are doing and
to see if they have any basic needs such as additional food, medicines, or
transportation. But most of all we give them a friendly connection to the outside world.
This position is 1-2 hours per week, anytime between 9 am and 4 pm, Monday-Friday and can be done from home.
Please note, home internet is required for this position.
Intergenerational Program – we are partnering with Starms Early Childhood Center to provide virtual
programming helping students with a simple craft/coloring project. This volunteer opportunity would include cutting
materials and then sorting and bagging craft pieces. This project will be monthly and craft materials can be picked up
at your local senior center, organized at home, then returned to the center.
Please visit servingolderadults.org/volunteer to fill out an application.

Dementia Awareness Month�
Early Signs of Dementia
Dementia is a group of conditions that impact memory, thinking, and social skills. To be diagnosed with dementia, a
person's symptoms have to impede routine functioning and reflect a drastic decline in mental capability. Early
diagnosis may help slow the speed at which the condition progresses, but there is no cure for dementia. Treatment
and medication may help reduce the intensity of symptoms, but their effect is usually minor.
Changes depend on which area of the brain is affected.
The key is to catch symptoms early. You may notice some symptoms, however it is helpful to ask family and friends
to bring to your attention symptoms they notice as well.
What should you watch for?
1. Memory Loss and Distortion
People with dementia tend to have problems with short-term memory. They may remember things from long
ago but forget what happened this morning. Memory distortions also occur. People with dementia may confuse peo-
ple in their memories, or combine two or more memories. Sometimes, they think an old memory is a new one.
Memory issues are an early sign of dementia.
2. Loss of Vocabulary
Ability to communicate may deteriorate. They develop problems with vocabulary and struggle to find the
‘right’ words to express themselves.
3. Changes in Mood and Disposition
Mood is altered. Someone may be jovial and cheery one second
and deeply sad the next. Some also develop depression. A shy individual
may suddenly seem very uninhibited.
4. Faulty Reasoning
One may say and do things that seem irrational or based on faulty
logic. They might stash away things in strange nooks and corners.
5. Disorientation
Dementia causes disorientation of time, place and circumstance
in most patients. They tend to be confused about what day or year it is,
are unaware of the passage of day and night, and can lose track of what
they're doing. This aspect of dementia only worsens over time.
6. Trouble with Comprehension
Someone may lose their comprehension ability rapidly. They may
not understand what is happening and ask the same questions over and
over. Some have difficulty telling time, following instructions, reading,
and writing.
7. Balance Problems
As motor control gradually decreases, individuals may begin walking with a stoop or leaning to one side or
shuffle. They may be more prone to accidents such as stumbling and falling.
8. Lack of Self-Care Tendencies
Individuals with dementia often stop practicing self-care and hygiene as the disease progresses. They may not
want to bathe or wear clean clothes and might disregard cluttered or dirty living environments.
9. Change in Appetite and Eating Habits
One can lose interest in eating. They may adopt unhealthy habits such as skipping meals or spitting out food.
A caregiver can make sure people with dementia continue to eat properly, to avoid malnutrition.
10. Loss of Social Skills
Impaired judgment causes loss of social skills. They may behave and speak inappropriately in the company of
others, often offending or even frightening other people.
Here are some things to remember not
to say to someone with dementia, and
what you can say instead. Remember,
never get angry or impatient.
�“You're wrong” .
Instead, change the subject. ...
�“Do you remember…?” …
Instead, say: “I remember…”
�“They passed away.” ...
Instead, change the subject or be
truthful or tell them they will see
them again. Respond in a way
you feel is best.
�“I told you…” …
Instead, repeat what you said.

With the increase in price of meat and its growing strain on the
environment, the number of vegetarians and vegans continues to grow.
But with a plant-based diet comes a few challenges that you can’t
ignore!
Meat has all of the Amino Acids we need, plants do not. Some plants
have some Amino Acids, other plants have other Amino Acids,
complementing each other to get all 9 amino acids. Refer to the table
below.
Another issue with plant protein is that it isn’t as digestible as animal protein so a 10-20% increase in
daily protein is recommended.

Alternative Proteins,

MEDITATION MOMENT�
“Falling Towards Home”
In times as tumultuous as these, it’s easy to feel like water over rocks: tumbling, crashing, cascading without control
onto whatever hard landing waits below. Most people I know have had moments of that feeling, this year.
Perspective is elusive. Plans are always made with a caveat; an overriding “if” that reflects uncertainty about what
even the next hours will bring.
That’s a hard way to live, even if it’s a clarification of life’s constant uncertainty, rather than a fundamental shift.
Uncertainty’s sharp edge can cut us inside, after a while. Restoration of perspective then becomes more important
than any practical task on our “to do” lists.
When uncertainty opens a wound in me, I head east to the waterfalls that grace our mountains. Scarcely more than
half an hour from home, I enter another landscape in which I can remember what it truly is: water cast over stone.
It’s a familiar meditation; one I’ve practiced for decades. Yet it remains new every time.
On a Monday morning in a world that’s crowded elsewhere, no one is at the waterfalls but me. No one human, that
is: vibrant life surrounds me, evidenced by twitters and scurries and pounding hooves along the trail. All sound but
water is masked as I reach the falls, though. The waterfalls sing a song that shifts moment to moment, but hasn’t
ceased for thousands of years. Even in dry summers, a little water always persists here. Waterfalls do not give up.
I’m only a droplet within the falls of greater life, not the falls themselves. Beside me, so are you, and you and you and
you: all of us tumbling, falling, merging, jostling against each other as gravity makes its incessant demands. No
droplet, no human, can see where our fall will lead us. It’s easy to fear the rocks, the uncertainty.
From the river shore, however, perspective emerges in the shape of the longer flow. The falls have been going over
the same cliff for eons, only slowly wearing the rock slightly smooth. The river’s course only subtly shifts, over
periods of time that make each droplet’s living passage an infinitesimal moment. Gravity does its tireless work, taking
each droplet inevitably downstream, to where all droplets will merge in the greater sea.
That is you, me, all of us. The spirit sea will cradle us and allow us rest, in time. There is no uncertainty about that.
Every life stream’s course always reaches its destination, however tumultuous its path along the way. The waterfalls
sing to me of this, every time. I need their reminder. Far away downstream, the ocean sings of this too. Water sings
the ageless song of how all of us are always falling towards home.

Our community partners are a large part of how we are able to provide services to older adults.

awareness, our community partners have stepped up to further our cause, and for that we thank

�About Serving Older Adults�
�������
We envision a community where every adult 50 and better will
be connected to the resources they need, and the opportunities
that interest them, throughout the entire aging process.
����������������
Our mission is to provide opportunities and services
to adults 50 and better.
����� ���
�� We believe older adults have value and should be encouraged to continue to contribute to the
world in a meaningful way that enhances their lives, and the lives of others.
�� We believe older adults should be treated with respect, dignity, courtesy, and compassion.
�� We believe older adults should have opportunities to interact and develop healthy relationships
with people of all generations.
�� We believe older adults deserve to live a safe, financially comfortable, healthy life with assistance
from community resources and social services if needed.
�� We honor life.
���������������
Serving Older Adults of Southeast Wisconsin operates five Milwaukee County Senior Centers. These
centers offer adults a place to socialize, exercise, and participate in classes and programs.
We also operate five dining sites out of these senior centers. For more information please see the
dining page.
We welcome all adults 50 and better. We embrace diversity, which includes differences in race,
ethnicity, sexual orientation, religious preference, political viewpoints, education, national origin,
varied abilities, and financial means.
��������
Serving Older Adults was founded in May of 2018, and began managing five senior centers on January
3rd of 2019. Since our inception, we have served over 5,000 individuals aged 50 and better in the
Milwaukee area. With over 90 years of collective experience, our staff has worked with some of the top
nonprofits dedicated to serving Milwaukee. Between the groundwork that organizations have laid
before us, and our vision, we hope to see a brighter, healthier, more active life for older adults in our
community.
