Thinking about becoming a member?
CRSAC is a membership-based Center that welcomes all those 50-plus. For $36 per year, you will get a $10 discount per
activity, along with other priceless opportunities. To join, stop in at the front desk, or go to www.castlerockseniorcenter.org and
find the fill-in membership form. We can’t wait to meet you!
From the Director Time has stood still for some and moved at the speed of light for others. These times remain ever changing. In March, things changed by the hour for the staff, April was day to day and May was one week at time. While this newsletter is our July edition, we are creating it late in May and the first week of June. As I write this letter to you, we still are only planning week to week as things continue to change rapidly. Businesses are starting to reopen. However, as an organization that serves older adults, we are still required to remain closed. I know you all want a date of when we will reopen, but at this time I do not have that. Please know that once we have a date and a way to open safely, you will be the first to know. We will put the announcement out through all of our media channels and will even call many of you to start getting the news out through the grapevine. We are just as excited to see you all and resume some level of our new normal. The Center truly is not the same without all of you in it.
In the meantime, I hope that you are getting involved with the new types of activities we have been providing. We have many new ideas coming soon. The staff has been busy creating contests, scavenger hunts and virtual trips for you. Please check them out on our website, newsletter or on our YouTube Channel. We have many more videos in production for you.
Know that we are here for you. Give us a call if you need anything. Please continue to be patient, stay strong, remain safe and healthy.
We miss you all.
Today we have the power to change
our story

“In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the vulnerable and remember the words of The Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35) These are words that our July Volunteer of the Month, Lisa Litteken, lives by. Volunteering for people in need is her personal philosophy. The Senior Center can always count on Lisa to help out. She has delivered Meals on Wheels, helped out with transportation, worked at the annual Craft Show Extraordinaire, has picked up donations and has been actively helping out during the COVID-19 crisis.
Lisa was born in Moorhead, Minnesota and grew up in Fargo, North Dakota with her three sisters and two brothers. There she spent her youth practicing to be a competitive swimmer, swimming with her friends for fun and then working as a lifeguard. After Lisa graduated high school, she
attended the University of North Dakota, extensively traveled the Northeast and ended up in Minneapolis where she worked as a casualty underwriter for 15 years.
A dance class at Starks Halfway House, a country western dance bar, is where Lisa met her husband, Luke. They married in 1991 and have two children together, Elsa and Ethan. Elsa swims for Colorado State University, a swimmer just like her Mom. She is a sophomore pursing a degree in human development and family studies. Ethan just graduated from Douglas County High School this year and is also going to be going to Colorado State University to pursue a degree in Music and Political Science. Unfortunately, Ethan had to miss out on end of the year celebrations and graduation due to COVID-19. Congrats to the class of 2020 from the Castle Rock Senior Center; we hope you will be able to celebrate your achievements with friends and family soon!
Lisa and her family moved to Colorado in 2014 when her husband was asked to transfer here for work. Lisa homeschooled her two children for ten years and when they entered the public school system, she found herself with free time. Not only does she volunteer with us, she volunteers at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, Catholic Charities of Central Colorado and at her children’s schools.
Kind, generous, considerate and happy are words that define Lisa. Lisa’s generosity shines through in all the volunteer work that she does. Thank you for everything that you do for us at the Center; we appreciate your time.

Did you know that Bob Hope entertained the US troops from 1941 to 1990? I think many remember him as a comedian back in vaudeville for his start and next a stage performer followed by a movie star. However, he has endeared himself to Americans through the years performing in over 60 USO shows with his last at the age of 87. While he wrote several books, I have noted a few of his more notable quotes below - some full of heartfelt warmth and some full of humor which these days both are equally important.
I don't feel old. I don't feel anything till noon. That's when it's time for my nap. I have seen what a laugh can do. It can transform almost unbearable tears into something bearable, even hopeful. I do benefits for all religions - I'd hate to blow the hereafter on a technicality. If you haven't got any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble. You know you are getting old when the candles cost more than the cake. A sense of humor is good for you. Have you ever heard of a laughing hyena with heartburn?
When we recall the past, we usually find that it is the simplest things - not the great occasions - that in retrospect give off the greatest glow of happiness.
Bob Hope passed away in 2003 at the age of 100. Whether you are a fan of Bob Hope or not, this is just a good reminder that empathy and humor can help you get through the tough times.
Happy 4th
of July!

Don’t throw away your stimulus payment by
accident Why would you do that? People are rightly suspicious of unsolicited cards through the mail, and the Economic Impact Payment (EIP) cards arrive in plain envelopes with the return address “Money Network Cardholder Services” from MetaBank in Omaha, Nebraska. That doesn’t sound like a government payment to most people. AARP has heard from members that some people suspect the cards are a fraud or an unsolicited credit card offer, meaning some people have shredded them or thrown them away. Naturally, wherever there is money involved, there are usually scammers trying to take it from you. Nevertheless, for the 4 million people who receive those EIP prepaid debit cards, the money can be a lifeline in the pandemic. To avoid losing your stimulus payment: You’ll get a letter with the EIP card telling you
how to activate it. Be very careful that you call the correct phone number. Don’t search the internet for the number. Scammers sometimes set up fake customer service numbers to deceive people and take their personal information.
Don’t give your personal identification number (PIN), EIP debit card number or Social Security number to anyone who calls or texts you.
Check your mail carefully to avoid tossing your EIP card out with your junk mail.
If you’ve destroyed or thrown out your EIP card, don’t worry. Call the toll-free customer service line at 800-240-8100 (TTY: 800-241-9100) to ask for a replacement. You can find additional information at the official EIP website https://www.eipcard.com/.
AARP has a Fraud Watch Network that can help you spot and avoid scams. Sign up for free “watchdog alerts,” review scam-tracking map or call the toll-free fraud help line at 877-908-3360 if you or a loved one suspect you’ve been a victim.

If you’ve bought a fabric face mask or received one for “free,” here’s what you should know:
That fabric has a story. It may have been chosen for a quilt that was never made, or perhaps it’s remnants of a
homemade Easter dress. It could’ve been passed from owner to owner or even bought with express intent to make a cool mask. Either way, the sewist assessed its “mask worthiness” and
thought it’d be perfect.
The sewist who made it is tired. She’s been sewing for days; she’s tired of the monotony. She’s pricked her fingers with pins and
sliced her knuckles with rotary blades. Yet she continues to make masks...for you.
It’s worth every penny. Whether you bought it for $5 or $15, you paid fair market value for someone’s materials, time
and talent. If you received it for free, it has already been paid for with the maker’s charity and hope.
The sewist made it to help you, but it’s helping her too. She’s decided the best way to work through this situation is to help those who protect all of us.
The maker is being flooded with requests. People who haven’t spoken to her in years are calling to chat and “ask for a mask.” She’s being
offered money to make more than she can handle; sometimes it’s enough, sometimes it’s not. If she’s got too many to make, she won’t turn you down because she really wants to help you.
It will make her smile when she sees you wearing it. She’ll remember the fabric, the batch, she may even tell you it was one of her favorites. She’ll smile knowing she did this small little thing that’s helping you in such a big way. She’ll smile
knowing that in the most difficult of times, she has a skill that so many will value.
It should give you hope for a better world. In a situation where members of our community are struggling, others have risen up, offered
their time and talents to provide what they can. It means there’s hope for humanity supporting one another and that people truly do care for one another.

Your dollars, your donations always matter, but how would you like to double what you - or your friends or family members - give? For the eighth year in a row, an anonymous donor has committed up to $7,000 in matching funds for donations made between July 1 through September 30 in the “Loving the Second Half Fund Challenge.” That means the Center could potentially receive $14,000,
but it will only happen if people know about it and respond to the invitation to give from their hearts. Your donation investment will multiply, you will have a tax deduction, and you will better the Senior Center all at the same time.
Ways You Can Help
Make a donation yourself if you believe the Center has benefitted you at some point in your life. Any donation, big or small, helps us move closer to meeting the challenge;
Ask family members to give a donation because of how this organization has been a blessing for you; Ask area establishments and practitioners (doctors or dentists) who do business with seniors to give and support their local Senior Center. Know that they won’t give unless they are asked;
Talk to your friends and neighbors. Let them know about the wonderful services at the Senior Center, and challenge them to make a donation. You never know who may have a heart for this growing population, perhaps in honor of their own parents.
Make checks payable to the Castle Rock Senior Activity Center, 2323 Woodlands Blvd, Castle Rock, CO 80104, call to donate by credit card or click on the Donate button on our website.
Make a notation of “Loving the Second Half Fund.”

It’s a tradition to celebrate Independence Day with fireworks. So, turn your attention to Santa Fe Quarry Mesa for the Town’s annual fireworks display. Similar to year’s past, fireworks will shoot off at sundown (around 9:30 PM) from the butte located just south of The Meadows, above
Red Hawk Ridge Golf Course.

The Castle Rock Farmer's Market provides Douglas County
residents with a local market where they can purchase fresh
fruits, vegetables and other horticultural products. The
market allows for county residents to meet their neighbors
in a rural setting and promote farm and ranch activities,
which have been on the decline since the urban expansion
in the area.
Festival Park Farmer’s Market
Every Sunday from
8 AM - 1:00 PM Located in and around the beautiful
Festival Park in downtown Castle Rock. The farmer’s market is open every
Sunday through the end of September. The goal is to bring local Colorado
products and foods to you.
Red Hawk Ridge Golf Course Rates
All players need to book their own tee times. League rates are not being
offered at this time. Senior fees still apply, so if you are a resident you can play 18-holes for $50 (the league rate) and if you are a non-resident you can
play 18-holes for $59. The 9-hole fee is $40 (normal league
fee is $35). Once league play resumes, then league fees will apply.
Please help us spread the word about our tournament held at the popular
Arrowhead Golf Course. Golfers will definitely WANT TO PLAY in this event. Materials are
available at the Center or on our website.
As the COVID guidelines rapidly change, so do
the sports program protocols. You can always
