HEALTHY U - Diabetes
Are you or someone you know struggling with diabetes? The
HEALTHY U Chronic Disease Self Management Program for Diabetes
is proven to improve quality of life and save money by reducing health
care expenses. It’s FREE to adults of any age and/or their caregivers.
Help yourself regain control of your life and do the things that matter to
you. At the Diabetes Self—Management class, small groups meet
weekly for 6 weeks and learn ways to solve problems related to
Diabetes.
HEALTHY U was developed at Stanford University and has helped
hundreds of thousands of people improve their health and quality of life
over the past thirty years. Studies have shown that the program results in
significant, measurable improvements in movement, symptoms,
depression, fatigue, disability and activity limitations.
As one class member said, “the course exposed me to new ways of
thinking about myself and the medical problems that affected my life. It
gave me new strategies for keeping depression and pain at bay, ways to
relax my mind and body, and eye-opening ideas about exercise that I
could do. Through weekly action plans, I began to feel successful,
seeing in a positive light those things about which I had been hopeless
before. Instead of trying to fight/cure my chronic illnesses, I now realize
that I can do things to live better with them.”

Aqua Zumba
Aqua Zumba is perfect for those
looking to make a splash by adding
a low impact, high-energy exercise
to their fitness routine. There is
less impact on your joints during an
Aqua Zumba class so you can really let loose. Water creates natural
resistance, which means every step
is more challenging and helps tone
your muscles. For more information contact Kimberley Coniglio at 513-240-5180.
This class is SilverSneakers approved.

Smart Driver Course—AARP
Since 1979, AARP Driver Safety has met the needs of older drivers
through educational programs led by more than 4,000 volunteers and supported by a myriad of resources; however, they aren’t the same programs
and resources that were available nearly 35 years ago. AARP Driver Safety has continued to evolve with the times and, as of January 1, 2014,
AARP Driver Safety has launched the new and improved AARP Smart
Driver Course.
Why a new course?
A lot has changed since many American drivers first got their driver’s license. The roads have changed. Cars and the technology inside them have
changed. Even the people behind the wheel have changed. As drivers, if
we don’t keep up with those changes, we put others or even ourselves at
risk.
Participants are awarded a Certificate of Attendance for drivers 50 and
older. Please check with your insurance company for possible discounts.
Refreshments are served. Lunch is on your own.

The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra presents “The Music Man”
At Cincinnati’s Music Hall
Join us and see a performance of one of America’s most beloved musicals! We’ll start with a delicious Sunday luncheon at Buca di Beppo
where you’ll enjoy a variety of tasty choices. Then we go to venerable
Music Hall for a production of The Music Man with music performed
by the renowned Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. This six-time, Tony Award
winning musical comedy has been delighting audiences since 1957. A
fancy footed musical instrument salesman greases his way into a small
town and he is determined to fleece the naïve community. His plans go
awry when he falls for a beautiful, sharp witted local librarian and he
has a change of heart. The classic show tunes include Seventy-six
Trombones, Ya Got Trouble, Till There Was You and much more! Your
wonderful orchestra seats offer great views of the show!
