TOUCHMARK AT ALL SAINTS Issue 12, 2013 | page 1

Events create autumn fun

With her hands guiding the wool, resident Caroline Deinema (left photo) demonstrated how to spin yarn on her various wheels for residents and guests during the Fall Festival. One of the wheels is a family antique that her husband’s grandmother owned. People also started their holiday shopping as local vendors provided everything from baked goods to soaps and jewelry.

Baking: a delicious fall tradition! Residents delighted their senses with peeling, baking, and enjoying apples bars.

A popular activity at Touchmark is the Welcome Tea. Residents gather and meet the newest members of the Touchmark family.

With Christmas and the holidays right around the corner, residents made handmade ornaments for the resident Christmas tree. Later, they gathered to decorate the festive tree. Each year, Touchmark decorates more than 31 trees.

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.

Moments of Pride Curio

Now on display is the original Emigration Certificate of Elsie Buehner’s grandfather and the confirmation paper of Elsie’s grandmother.

With the holidays coming, people wrote down thoughts of gratitude on paper leaves and placed them on the THANK{FULL} tree.
