Greetings from the 18th century!

For the final session of
Touchmark’s US Constitution
class, (from left) James Madison,
Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin
Franklin, and John Adams
shared their insights with a
packed house. The four men
also posed with an Uncle Sam
carving by Spokane resident
Howard Jensen. (Team members
Bret Cope played Madison,
Chet Roshetko was Jefferson,
Jeff Bair played Franklin, and
Jeff Wolpert became Adams).
Executive Director Jeff Bair has
been teaching the popular class,
which follows a series created by
Hillsdale College.

Wellness & Programs

Celebrating the
possibilities
“‘Why not’ is a slogan for an
interesting life.”
	
– Mason Cooley, professor 	
and aphorist

Year’s end brings a time for
reflection and shared memories.
All of the holidays and holy
days for people of faith have
celebratory events and traditions.
Often the gifts of the spirit,
friendships, family relationships,
victories, and losses are
remembered.
As 2014 approaches, many
ponder, “What’s next?” Perhaps
the better question is, “Why not?”
Things on the bucket list might be
due for a move to the action list.
Healthy aging means nurturing
curiosity, passion, and
imagination. Lifelong learning,
community service, volunteerism,
adventures, and new beginnings
are characteristics of Touchmark
champions.
To learn more about champions
and share your individual talents,
strengths, and skills, contact a
member of the Full Life team.
Continuing to grow and succeed
in self-determined goals is the
essence of active aging.

Snapshots show off fall fun

The annual Harvest Festival
has grown to more than
450 children! Resident
volunteers greeted the
families at the door and
directed them to the first
stop, the spooky hallway.
The evening included
games, prizes, and, of
course, treats.

Touchmark’s Giant Pumpkin Challenge
The Garden Club has planted
giant pumpkin seeds for
three years. This year, the
plant took off. Everyone
guessed its weight, and
Jen Wagner (pictured) won
with a guess of 47 pounds.
The pumpkin’s actual size:
49 pounds. “We hope to
some day enter the pumpkin
into the Spokane Interstate
Fair,” says Betty Doerschlag,
Life Enrichment/Wellness
director. “We’re already
ready for next year. When
we carved this pumpkin, we
saved and dried the seeds.”
