Description: At a movie you can feel it touching your heart And on every day of the summertime You\'ll hear children chasing ice cream carts They\'ll play it on your wedding day There must be \'bout a million ways To add some music to your day - “Add Some Music” by The Beach Boys This month we’d like to shine the light on a class that is about one of those million ways. When one thinks about the Harmonica (or French harp or mouth organ as it is also called) it might bring about images of a campfire in the Wild West, or maybe the Blues, but it has been used in all types of music including Rock, Asian, and classical. There are three basic types of harmonica; chromatic, diatonic, and the Asian tremolo, although there are many other types. Our class is taught by Adrienne Riley. She started here in May 2016, but has been teaching since 2009. Adrienne is self taught having started back in 2007 at her church. She had been taking gerontology classes at Chaffey college and got interested in helping seniors. She combine the two and decided to teach here. Her classes takes all levels. The initial start up is $60 for 6 weeks which gets you a book and a brand new harmonica to start. After that it’s only $10 per week. You must be able to breath to play! According to Adrienne, breathing is everything. Other than that rhythm is also something good to have. So if you can breath, you can play. Classes are on a break right now, but check you newsletter to see when they’ll be back.
Rennovation Still Ongoing
By: Mike Sylva
For those naysayers who thought our ongoing renovation was surely as a standstill, we’d like to point out that slowly but surely, we are still fixing up the place. It might not pop at you as much as a new coat of paint or carpet, was we are sprucing up the place regardless.

We recently purchased some much needed equipment to be used for our various activities. We have now added a mobile TV stand with a lockable cabinet, to keep our equipment from growing feet and walking off. We now also have a ceiling pulldown screen in the game room / computer lab, as well as a huge tripod widescreen screen we can take from room to room, as well to outside events.

This is not the end of the work either. It is still a work in progress and yes, we are still planning on the addition on the sun room which will give us lots more room for more activities. So keep your eyes open and you’ll be amazed and the ongoing changes we have in store for you.
