From the Director...

Thank you to those who made March’s newsletter possible through donating to our Newsletter

Fund:

Nancy Crossman, Elaine Dietrich, Marianna Kolakowski, Maria Paulis, Ann Soltis, Betty

Svaty & Lillian Szafranski

SCR greatly appreciates

your support!

Transportation is available

Tuesdays & Thursdays for hair

and medical appointments to

alleviate over-scheduling on

Wednesdays and Fridays.

Please allow ample notice while

scheduling appointments if

possible, and we will do our

very best to accommodate.

Please see our ‘Programs and

Events’ page (pg. 4) for more

information on changes in the

Transportation Department.

Thank you!

-SCR Transportation

Department

Thank you to all who

donated for the piano

repair, whether you baked

or purchased bakery, or

bought raffle tickets for the

Valentine’ s Day basket.

Your help is appreciated

and the piano sounds

brand new!

Dear Friends of SCR:

Thoughts of spring are in the air! Here at SCR it's been a fun winter

with many joining in the new exercise offerings, partaking in an art

class, keeping busy making homeless mats out of plastic bags,

enjoying some Groundhog Day Games or a Valentine's Day party! A

lot is happening. If you haven't been in, please stop by and see for

yourself. If there is something you'd like to get going, ask us about it.

New activity ideas are welcome!

SCR will be gearing up for our annual Senior Olympics, which is

around the corner. We will be providing many "training" opportunities

so you can get ready to compete. Please look for registration

opportunities in March. If you have never tried it, please consider

participating in a fun, social, and active week.

Community sponsors for the Olympics are still needed. If you know of

a business, organization, or business that might want to be a sponsor,

please let us know.

As always, I would like to express our gratitude to all of you who

volunteer at SCR in one of the many capacities. You are

invaluable. We appreciate you each and every day..

Come check out all the happenings!

All the best,

Liz

I Almost Forgot About You By: Terry McMillan

From the same author who wrote ‘How Stella Got Her

Groove Back’ , McMillan composes a heartfelt, inspirational

novel about a Doctor who has everything from a

successful career, family, friends and a beautiful home.

Despite all these things, Dr. Georgia Young still feels

restless at heart, and takes the time in mid-life to reinvent

herself, sending her on a wild journey full of new

beginnings and a second chance at love, proving that it is

never too late to decide who YOU want to be,

Important Transportation Changes

Starting on February 1st, 2017, the following

transportation changes will go into effect:

There will no longer be shopping on

Wednesdays at any time.

Pickups for Thursday shopping will occur at

11:30 a.m., shopping to begin at 12:30 and

end at 2:00. One time slot only per Thursday

shopping.

Monday and Tuesday shopping times have

been moved to the afternoon. Pickups begin

at 11:30 a.m., shop 12:30-2:00 p.m.

Friday shopping trips to Save-A-Lot will

Please see the transportation calendar for

updated agenda!

Thank you for your cooperation and

flexibility regarding this change.

We are making adjustments for the sole reason

of having the ability to better serve you, and

ensure that all participants can utilize our

transportation system for a variety of individual

needs.

MARCH’S FEATURED SPEAKERS

March 9, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. —What happens if I become too sick to handle my finances? How do I choose someone to make decisions for me? What’s the difference between a

Power of Attorney and a Guardianship? Join Sheila Fell from the Scranton Road Legal Clinic to learn more about

Financial Power of Attorney.

March 23, 2017 at 11:00 a.m.—The Cleveland Department of Aging will assist you with HEAP, food assistance,

prescription drugs, utilities, Medicare premiums, phone service, eye care and more. Come see what benefits you are

eligible for!

Sleeping Mats for the Homeless

Interested in helping those in need? Join SCR participants to make

sleeping mats for the homeless out of plastic grocery bags. We will

meet at SCR from 9:30-11:30 a.m. every Tuesday and Thursday.

Our goal is to make 10 mats throughout the next four months. We

need your help! You do not need to know how to crochet to

participate in this project. In order for the bags to be crocheted

into a mat, we must fold, cut and loop the bags first. The prep work

is very important...Many hands make light work! If you plan on

donating bags, please check with an SCR staff member beforehand,

and please be sure that bags are CLEAN! Please call 216-749-5367

or e-mail Bethany at [email protected] with any questions. Thank

you for your interest and assistance with this project!

In Case of Inclement Weather...

In the event of dangerous driving

conditions due to snow and/or icy

conditions, or extreme temperatures

which could cause hardship, SCR

may close for the day. Stay tuned to

Channel 3 or 5 for weather

related closing information. We will

exercise good judgment with the

safety of the seniors, our volunteers

and staff in mind. In case of closing,

no meals will be served or delivered.

Thank you for your

understanding.

Meals on Wheels Volunteers

During the winter months, it is

understandably difficult to keep

Meals on Wheels Volunteers due

to the weather. If you are willing

to help deliver and confident

driving or walking in the snow

and cold, please contact Kim

Susak at 216-749-5367 ext. 1121

to discuss volunteering (even if

it’s just once every

other week).

Thank you for your

consideration!
