VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION LUNCHEON Wednesday June 12, 2013 12:30 PM Volunteerism is deeply rooted in our Country’s history and culture. It is what keeps us connected to our community and to enjoy that sense of belonging. Volunteers are a diverse group of individuals with dif- fering backgrounds, experiences, interests and talents. They are resilient, steadfast, hard-working and dedicat- ed folks that symbolize the true spirit of volunteerism. On June 12, 2013 we have scheduled our Volunteer Recognition Luncheon at which time staff will honor and pay tribute to the many wonderful Stillaguamish Senior Center Volunteers. This years’ theme “Being a Piece of The Puzzle”, the center couldn’t do it without you. A once-a year Recognition for the tre- mendous volunteer services these many dedicated people provide is hardly enough to thank them for the enor- mous numbers of hours that they generously contribute day after day to the success of their Senior Center. If you have volunteered between May 2012-May 2013 please RSVP with the Program Administrator: (360) 653 -4551 by Friday June 7, 2013. THANK YOU! THANK Y0U! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Boosts brain power: Walking improves your ability to make decisions, solve problems, and focus. Even small doses of walking, like a 15 minute trek, can increase your brain power. Aids in long-lasting weight management. Walking burns calories and fights unwanted pounds. Requires only a modest investment of time and money: Walking for 30 minutes a day can be split up into shorter sessions of two 15 minute walks or three 10 minute walks. Fancy gear is not needed, just a good pair of walking shoes. Increases productivity: Physical activity increases energy levels, reduces stress and contributes to an improved immune system. It also improves concentration and short term memory. May lead to reduced costs: Sedentary behavior results in higher health care costs. Walking is one way to help prevent and manage several chronic diseases.
