TOM’S CARSEUM FRIDAY, AUGUST 16TH LEAVE @ 1:15 PM Do you like vintage cars or race cars or just really neat collector cars? If so this trip is for you! I was recently contacted by Tom Douglass who has his own car museum which he affectionately calls ‘Tom’s Carseum’. He invited our residents to come see what he has acquired and assembled for the public to see at his Carseum. He has a very ‘modernized’ Model T, several Mustangs and Corvettes and much, much more you are sure to remember from years past. He will also have drinks and snacks for everyone that attends. There is no cost for this trip. If you are interested in going, please sign up in the ’Count Me In’ book by Wednesday, August 14th so we can let him know how many people to expect. https://epworthvilla.org/communitylife/resident-calendar/

WHIZ KIDS REPRESENTATIVE HERE WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14TH 9:30 AM — 1:00 PM COFFEE LOUNGE Have you had the privilege of experiencing the impact of mentorship? If you have ever been on the giving or the receiving end of this, I bet that you too are an advocate for special, lasting relationships like these! Here’s another question for you—do you have just two free hours a week that you would like to use to pour back into your community? If so, Whiz Kids would love nothing more than to have you on the team! We are a one-on-one literacy tutoring and faith-based mentorship program. Whiz Kids targets students who are reading below grade level and who could benefit most from a loving and caring adult. The child that you are partnered with during your first week is the same child that you get to work with every week after! This allows for those special and lasting relationships that I mentioned just a moment ago. Taylor West, Whiz Kids Volunteer Coordinator will be here the morning of Wednesday, August 14th to chat with you one on one in the Coffee Lounge. If transportation is an issue, let us help you make it work! For more information visit https://whizkidsok.org or give Taylor a call at 580.919.4443.

LUNCH OUT @ BELLINI’S TUESDAY, AUGUST 20TH LEAVE @ 11:15 AM

Beginning his career with Interurban, Tommy Byrd developed a love for the business early in his career. Being the savvy entrepreneur he is, he decided to create his own concepts. The first of these was Bellini’s at the Waterford. Using an original recipe book he found at a garage sale, Tommy built a menu of favorites OKC families raved about! Soon Bellini’s was known City Wide for their delicious, consistent menu and excellent service! After many years of running Bellini’s, Tommy sold it to a new owner. This past spring the owner of Bellini’s decided to close. It was at this point that Tommy took the unique opportunity presented to him and stepped back in time to bring back OKC’s feelings of nostalgia, as he took on the exciting task of rejuvenating his original concept, Bellini’s at the Waterford! If you are interested in going to lunch out at Bellini’s, please sign up in the ‘Count Me In’ book by Monday, August 19th at Noon. Charge for transportation will be $5.00 and residents will pay for their own lunch. For their lunch menu, visit http://www.bellinisristorantegrill.com/lunch

12 RODGER RANDLE TUESDAY, AUGUST 27TH 2:00 PM GRAND BALLROOM WHEN POLITICS WAS FUN

That's the theme of Rodger Randle's talks, and his stories will be a reminder that in the past not only was the political landscape fun, it was civilized. This program is the perfect antidote to today's climate of acrimony and disrespect. It's also great fun to listen to lots of stories showing the human and the lighthearted sides of it all, and the timing couldn't be better as we go into the next general election. Randle knows whereof he speaks. Prior to being elected mayor of Tulsa, he served several years in the Oklahoma House of Representatives and the during which time he served twice as President pro tempore. Currently he is the Professor and Director of the 's Center for Studies in Democracy and Culture. He is in demand internationally as a speaker on a variety of subjects.
