In Dane County, the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program s Driver Services program is part of a transportation safety net serving seniors and veterans/veteran s families to help them live on their own longer. This program partners with Senior Centers and programs in communities across Dane County to schedule rides for seniors and veterans and provide home-delivered meals. Volunteer drivers receive mileage reimbursement and extra liability insurance. Passengers receive the help they need to get to and from medical appointments. Driving as little as one hour a month can drastically change someone s life, who could not get to a medical appointment. Please consider driving for RSVP of Dane County. Call the Senior Center at if you would be interested in driving seniors to a medical appointment or delivering meals. The Police Dept Brigham Ave.,, WI is one of the 13 MedDrop locations in Dane County that will accept old or unused medication. Call for their open hours. THANK YOU Thank You to Vicky Lamberty for donating a Lap Top computer and for setting up a computer program for our Nutrition program, to Ingleside Manor for sponsoring Bingo, for all who donated stamps and Bingo prizes and to Bill and Colleen Foley and Pat Downing for performing at our Mardi Gras party.

2 DIRECTOR S NOTE: LYNN FORSHAUG I would like to thank Bonnie Jones on behalf of the Seniors, myself and staff for sharing her energy, great ideas and wonderful caring of seniors in the Mt. Horeb area and at the Senior Center. She touched many lives during her time here and she will be missed. We wish her all the best in her new job and hope she comes back to visit. Did you know that Wisconsin has the highest number of people falling in the country? We will be hosting a Stepping On Class on Thursdays, April 7th through May 19th, from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm at the Senior Center. The class has been held all over Dane County and it is to help improve one s balance. The classes will be two hour sessions, with a short exercise routine (where a chair can be used), videos will be shown, exercise equipment provided, discussions held, etc. The teacher for the class is Anne Hvizdak, who is a trained professional in this field. The cost is $35.00/ person for the seven weeks. People can make a check payable to the Mt. Horeb Senior Center for the class. The maximum number of participants is 14. Call the Senior Center for more information or if you would like to sign up for this class. CASE MANAGER S NOTE: BONNIE JONES The greatest gift of Life is friendship and I have received it. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you. NUTRITION MANAGER S NOTE: MARY MACKLER & PAT MACLEAN March is National Nutrition Month. The current new GUIDELINES for AMERICANS has been announced. For the first time specific guidelines for sugar consumption are suggested; no more than 10% of total calories each day should come from added sugars. New limits for sodium were also set. People with high blood pressure or cardiac disease should limit themselves to 1,500 mg. of sodium a day. The daily cholesterol per day has been lifted, however it is still advised to limit the amount of cholesterol in your diet. Reading labels on food will tell the amount of sugar, sodium and cholesterol in the product. A limit for caffeinated coffee has also been set, only 3-5 cups per day. Also, it is suggested that you not begin to drink caffeinated beverages if you do not already. Volunteers Needed: Due to the rising meal participants, more help is needed in our kitchen. If you are interested in volunteering, please stop by the Senior Center and talk with Pat or Mary. Monday is a particular busy day in the kitchen, when we could use extra volunteer hours. Thank you very much.
