TO THE POINT Looking Back Gets’ you Ahead… By Pat Rooney I’ve been sitting in my office this afternoon marveling at the sunshine while doing paperwork after a week of steady rain. I was starting to think that I needed to get out my life raft. After a long period of rain and dreary skies, the sunshine is like a renewal of spirit. When you reach the end of the year, inevitably you reflect on all of the events, actions, and activities that went on in one’s life. You decide if it was good, bad, or ugly. I’m a Clint Eastwood fan what can I say. I like to evaluate the year in review by asking “are we better off than a year ago?” We ask ourselves if our health is better, is our family better, and is our home better. For many of us I think things are better. Even if it is sometimes hard to tell. For me, I lost some weight in 2015 and my wife finally found a job and moved here. We faced many issues at Providence Point in 2015 and successfully addressed them. Each Village made investments and improvements. While many challenges are in front of us, I am confident the volunteer Directors, Officers, and committee members will work to keep Providence Point a great place to really live! I was recently asked by my wife what I wanted for Christmas. I could have been prolific and said world peace, instead I said rest and sleep! I suppose that is a sign that much work was done that I am thankful for. It is after all, the season for giving thanks and being thankful. I am thankful and honored to serve as Community Manager. We have a great team of dedicated employees and I want them to know how much I appreciate their work. As this day draws to a close I wish all of you Happy Holidays.

TO THE POINTLooking Back Gets’ you Ahead…

By Pat Rooney

I’ve been sitting in my office this afternoon marveling at thesunshine while doing paperwork after a week of steady rain. Iwas starting to think that I needed to get out my life raft. Aftera long period of rain and dreary skies, the sunshine is like arenewal of spirit.

When you reach the end of the year, inevitably you reflect onall of the events, actions, and activities that went on in one’slife. You decide if it was good, bad, or ugly. I’m a Clint Eastwoodfan what can I say. I like to evaluate the year in review by asking“are we better off than a year ago?” We ask ourselves if ourhealth is better, is our family better, and is our home better.For many of us I think things are better. Even if it is sometimeshard to tell.

For me, I lost some weight in 2015 and my wife finally found ajob and moved here. We faced many issues at ProvidencePoint in 2015 and successfully addressed them. Each Villagemade investments and improvements. While many challengesare in front of us, I am confident the volunteer Directors,Officers, and committee members will work to keep ProvidencePoint a great place to really live!

I was recently asked by my wife what I wanted for Christmas.I could have been prolific and said world peace, instead I saidrest and sleep! I suppose that is a sign that much work wasdone that I am thankful for. It is after all, the season for givingthanks and being thankful. I am thankful and honored to serveas Community Manager. We have a great team of dedicatedemployees and I want them to know how much I appreciatetheir work.

COMMUNIVERSITY NEWS

New Faces of 2015

I hope you saw one of the three productions of“New Faces” put on recently by a Communiversityclass. So, many great comments on thefreshness, glee and talent at this event!  ThanksTony Curry,  Nancy Talley and Hetty Watters forall your leadership and work. The dinner wasdelicious too.

Other “new faces” of 2015:Communiversity brought back the " Artist Series"to residents.    The audience raved and wantedmore of the concert of Edith Piaf's musicpresented in Our Place.  In October director Tonyand Carey Gibson, his professional partner, gaveus "Into the Fire", a heart wrenching investigativepiece written and acted by them about the livesof many veterans from America's wars. Thisproduction has been taken all over the countryincluding the Pentagon. The Board is hoping theycan offer another one of their works this year. Both concerts were something you usually haveto find in Seattle.  Count ourselves lucky.

At least ten new classes (faces) were offered in2015. About 800 people participated in the threeterms: fall, winter and spring.

By now you have or will soon receive the winterterm offerings with two   NEW classes. Thisseason is a great time to sign up for you can walkto most classes,  meet your friends and exerciseyour mind and body without the worry of drivingon winter roads. Better yet ask someone to joinyou; maybe a new resident.

The Communiversity Board has not raised yourmonthly dues for 2016. Making your dues remainas they were last year. Seems like good news. One reason is the great instructors who work forless than the going rate, and the fees paid bythose outside Providence Point who take a class.  Another is   individual donations which are taxdeductible under the Communiversity 501C3status. Another is the careful planning by theDirector, Planning and Governing Board and ourexcellent Treasurer,  Verlie Espling.

The artworks demonstratehow he pushed the boundaries of glass as an artmedium in concept, execution and presentation.

The centerpiece of Chihuly Garden and Glass is theGlasshouse. A 40-foot tall, glass and steel structurecovering 4,500 square feet of light-filled space, theGlasshouse is the result of Chihuly’s lifelongappreciation for conservatories. The installation inthe Glasshouse is an expansive 100-foot longsculpture in a color palette of reds, oranges, yellowsand amber. Made of many individual elements, it isone of Chihuly’s largest suspended sculptures. Theperception of the artwork varies greatly with naturallight and as the day fades into night.Anchored by four monumental sculptures, theexhibition Garden provides an opportunity fordiscovery and surprise. A rich backdrop for the art, itfeatures paths lined with trees, plants and flowers.Crimson camellias, scarlet daylilies, dogwoods, hardyfuchsias and handkerchief trees provide the settingfor the Crystal and Icicle Towers and an installation

of Reeds on Logs. At the center of this lushlandscape, on a bed of black mondo grass, is theSun, an explosion of yellow and orange.The Theater presents short videos on Chihuly’sworking process — interviews, glassblowing,working onsite doing installations and exhibitions.Visitors will see the choreography in the hotshop asthe team executes his vision.

Gawande, a practicing surgeon, addresses his pro-fession’s ultimate limitation, arguing that quality of lifeis the desired goal for patients and families.Gawande offers examples of freer, more sociallyfulfilling models for assisting the infirm and depen-dent elderly, and he explores the varieties of hospicecare to demonstrate that a person's last weeks ormonths may be rich and dignified.
