Let’s ZOOM! Tuesday Coffees via Zoom start at 9:30 am every
week. This Tuesday, Feb 9, Atri-um E & F will host with Steve
Coon as MC. Watch for an invitation in your email which you can
save to use over and over, Meet-ing Number is 837 3180 3353.
Friday Chats We invite you to Friday Chats every Friday at 10:30
am. The Zoom meeting number is 876 5119 6839. And a new feature:
Polly Gilbert will present the first Northcrest 15-minute “TOPIC
TALK”: “Fun Facts and Wonky Words in the English Language”. Calling
on all Northcresters: you, too, can plan a 10 to 15 minute talk on
one of your hobbies, your careers, your poetry, your history, your
research, or any favorite “Topic” and share it with us on Friday
ZOOM meetings. Lively discussions to fol-low each TOPIC! Join the
fun!
Birthday Wishes February 7: Luann Basart February 9: Karen
Klaiber February 11: Bob Rust
Hearing Aid Clinic in March We will have our friends from
Hearing Un-limited here on Mon, Mar 1, 1:00 pm. Plan
accordingly.
Another Scam about Vaccination A scam has started that is
utilizing Story County Emergency Management's fax number. (The
number is legit.) The scam is related to the vaccination. DO NOT
reply! No one should be asking you for proof of your
vaccination.
Speaking of Volunteers… Be sure to turn in your “blue sheet”
that is a record of your 2020 volunteer hours any-where in Ames or
here. This is VERY im-portant to Northcrest’s non-profit
status!!
Nu-Step Available in Fireside Rm Residents may access the
Fireside Room to utilize the NuStep exercise machine now. Please
limit to one household at a time and you must sanitize the machine
after use. The code for access is 315.
CAUTION Needed! Between construction, delivery vehicles, and
normal NC traffic, there needs to be an abundance of caution when
driving. Please pay special attention around the garages when
resi-dents are backing out. They have limited views of oncoming
traffic. Let’s keep the speed low and awareness high!
Northcrest United, Northcrest Strong Shirts Did you want a
second shirt, or miss getting one ordered the first time? We will
be placing another order early in February, so if interested, call
the Main Desk with your requested size. Prices start at $10
depending on size. Deadline is Sun, Feb 7.
Calling Volunteers We are looking for “Tinkerbells” and “Sir
Galahads”! Perhaps you have a special talent or interest that could
be of service to one of your fellow residents. If that is so, we
are interested in hearing from you. We would like to create a
“Volunteer Core” that other residents could refer to for
assis-tance with tasks such as secretarial or office help, light
sewing (buttons or hems), cell phone questions, etc. Sometimes it
is as simple as helping to open a tight jar, or lifting a box! We
will keep a log of volun-teers and their talents to give to
residents in need. Email or call Ronnie:
[email protected]

"Democracy in Action: The Iowa General Assembly 2021." Each week
Steve Coon prepares a short video summary of the issues debated at
the Iowa Legislature. The videos will be posted on his website:
stephencoon.org Look on the right column under Posts. Check it
out!
Resident Portion of Website Did you know you can find a listing
of ALL residents for phone numbers and address-es on the
northcrestcommunity.org web-site? It is listed under Resources and
Links in the Resident Section. This is up- dated monthly. Check it
out!!
Walk for Fitness in Hallways! If you walk every hallway on the
First Floor of the Main Bldg staying to the right, you will walk
approximately a half mile! If you walk one hallway in the Parkway
Bldg, your editor got around 300 steps. If you do all 4 floors, you
would be in that half mile range. If you add 2 flights of stairs
you would add 116 steps, and some cardio workout. Let me know what
your “Fit-Bit” reads; we all take different lengths of steps!
