When the Generations project
started 13 years ago, it was
started with a dream of the
community
providing the space
needed for the senior
center and childcare
center to flourish.
The Coalition also
recognized the
benefits of bringing
kids and older
adults together,
allowing the
generations to
share their talents
and time with one
another. They knew that building
intergenerational relationships in
a community would strengthen it.
Two great examples of
intergenerational programming are
the Head Start Pal program and
the Drop in Computer Class.
The Head Start Pal program is a
service program where adults and
Riverview Middle School students
come together to write letters to
the Head Start children. During
the letter writing period the group
discusses topics to get to know
one another better. Questions
like, “What type of candy was your
favorite as a child?” Or “What do
remember doing for fun when you
were younger?”
The adults and
students enjoy
hearing what the
other generation
has experienced and
the discussion
allows everyone to
get to know more
about a generation
they don’t know
much about.
The Drop in
Computer classes
not only allow the kids to share
their wealth of knowledge on
computers with the adults, but it
also helps them to learn more
about older community members
who value their help. In today’s
world where the generations don’t
mix very often, these programs are
allowing intergenerational
relationships to develop. Studies
have shown intergenerational
relationships are good for the kids,
the adults and the community.
Help us bring the benefits of
intergenerational programming to
Sheboygan County—get involved!

It is hard to believe that two months of 2013 are already behind us—time sure goes fast when you are having fun! There are so many things going on at Generations now that it is hard to not miss something, so we wanted to take some time to highlight a few of the special things going on in the next month. First, we have some special artwork coming to the center for everyone to enjoy. Thanks to The Plymouth Woman’s Club, who each year coordinates the Helen Farnsworth Mears Art competition, guests of Generations will be able to enjoy the wonderful artwork of local 7th and 8th grade students. The Woman’s Club displays the artwork, coordinates judging and enters the winning pieces into the District Mears Art competition. This year the art will be on display at Generations from March 15th through April 2nd. The evening of March 15th the Woman’s Club is hosting an open house at Generations so community members can enjoy the show and learn what pieces will be going onto the District competition. Stop by the center to congratulate all the talented artists and enjoy viewing their creative works of art. Next I want to highlight our new movie series. We have purchased a license and will be showing a movie the third Tuesday of every month. Starting in April we will add Classic Movie Friday too—see details on page 6. We take requests, so let us know what you are interested in seeing on our big screen! Last but not least, our final fair relating to the “Making Good Decisions” series is on April 4th at Generations. From 10-11:30 am vendors who offer services to make living at home easier/possible (cleaning, running errands, adult day care, home hospice care) will be represented. Then between 12:30 and 2pm assisted living, long term care and rehabilitation centers will be here to tell guests about their residential living options. We hope you take advantage of this “one stop shopping” opportunity to learn more about the resources our community offers you and your loved ones.

A Wise Irishman’s Joke
An Irishman fell a hundred feet from a building site and was asked if he was hurt by the fall. “Indeed not”, he replied. “It wasn’t the fall that hurt me at all, it was de landing.” Free Haircut A man and a little boy entered a barbershop together. After the man received the full treat-ment - shave, manicure, haircut, etc. - he placed the boy in the chair. "I'm goin' to buy a green tie to wear for the pa-rade," he said. "I'll be back in a few minutes." When the boy's haircut was done and the man still hadn't returned, the barber said, "It looks like your daddy forgot all about you."
"That wasn't my daddy," said the boy. "He just walked up, took me by the hand and said, 'Come on, sonny, we're gonna get us a free haircut!'"

The primary goal of the PACC exercise program is to
provide meaningful and effective exercise classes that
will have a significant and positive impact on the
health and wellness of those who attend. I have be-
come mindful of the many challenges and ailments
participants in my classes are experiencing and have
done my best to make necessary changes so every
participant will benefit from the exercises/activities
we do. I do however, want to offer information on
how you can help maximize the benefits of exercise
prior to coming to class.
Some of the exercises we do are intense and challeng-
ing, so my advice to all is to follow these simple tips
before heading to our exercise class. First and fore-
most, you need to have clearance and approval from
your doctor before coming to this, or any other exer-
cise program. If all is good with your doctor, next
you should eat well to give yourself the energy need-
ed to exercise. It is recommended to do this around an
hour or two before you plan on working out. Keep in
mind that strenuous exercise after a heavy meal is not
advisable, so eat something light and let things digest
first before you come to class. I also recommend you
drink plenty of water so you will be hydrated before
coming to class.
Prepare your mind by putting your attention on the
benefits you will be experiencing by coming to exer-
cise class. People who exercise regularly have been
able to do so, because they believed it made them feel
better and increased their ability to move. Remind
yourself of how good exercise is for your health. It
can motivate you to make the effort to come to class,
even when you’re feeling tired, sore or unmotivated.
It is also important to prepare your body. According
to the Arthritis Foundation you should apply hot or
cold treatment to the areas of body you are exercising
to help reduce and prevent pain. You should also
spend several minutes breathing deeply while pictur-
ing yourself doing your exercises.
Exercise and medication schedules are also a discus-
sion you need to have with your doctor. Exercise will
have an effect on blood sugar levels so if you take
medication; ask your doctor if you need to adjust your
exercise or medication schedule.
It is always a good idea to be ready for a physical
challenges you face everyday. Exercise classes will
help you with this. Please visit the PACC and talk to
me about our exercise classes. We would love adding
you to our list of people who made a commitment to
getting and staying in shape. Fred Brown
