Description: This month we’d like to welcome back instructor Ray Carnes. Ray, who taught the computer class during the summer will be taking over for our longtime instructor, Kim Hayes. Kim left for a new and totally different job. Ray was more than willing to continue teaching the class. Ray became interested in computers having taken classes back in highschool. He studied Information Technology in his homeland of Queensland, Australia. He taught I.T. at the University of Redlands, and does work for Odoo, a management software company which produces management software that is also used by teachers. Both classes will start out with a Q & A session to determine where his students are and what they need to learn, and what they would like to work on. Classes will be tailored to fit the needs of the students. Classes are on Thursday, with Computer Desk Top 101 from 9-10 am, and Intermediate Computers from 10-11 am. Sessions are 8 weeks in length, with classes held quarterly. Cost is only $8 for members and non-members.

Featured Activity

Zumba Gold
Time: Fridays 11:15 a.m.
Cost: $2.00 per class members
      $2.00 per class non-members
Location: Exercise Room
Description: We’d like to welcome back a new exercise class to the center, Zumba Gold. Zumba is a mix of low-intensity and high-intensity set to interval-style, calorie-burning Latin and World dance moves. For those who see the words "high-intensity." Fear not. The class, like all of our exercise classes, is designed with seniors in mind. This class will be tailored towards active older adults who are looking for a modified Zumba class that recreates the original moves at a lower-intensity. The instructor is Carole Fiedler, a certified Zumba instructor, who says the class will consist of toning and stretching before moving on to the dance moves. She has been taking Zumba for six years, has been a licensed Zumba instructor for over five years, and certified for Zumba Gold for one year. Class started in October, every Friday starting at 11:15am, but you are more than welcome to jump in at any time. Classes are only $2, and be sure to bring some water, a towel, and wear comfortable clothing and good shoes.
Kitchen Volunteer Wanted
By: Mike Sylva
Can you spare a few hours a day? How about a week? The Highland Senior Center Nutrition Program is looking for volunteers to help out in the kitchen. Helpers won’t be cooking. The food is all cooked off site. We are looking for people to help set up the dining room, serve the food, and then clean up.

It only takes a few hours a day. You can volunteer one day a week, or several days. If we could get several people to help out it would lighten the load even more. So if you are willing to help serve your fellow seniors, or if you have some questions, please see Timi or Penny.
