Special Event Art Programs Community Events Zentangle with Jo Mortland Drawing with Zentangle-like designs is easy to learn, fun and a relaxing way to created unique images using simple lines. The different “doodles” are used to fill spaces, which can be any shape or size. By dividing the larger space into smaller sections, and then filling each section with patterns, a unique image is created. They can be made any time, any place, with paper and a drawing tool. For this session, we will focus on circles and lines to see some of the many possible combinations. The designs are meant to be organic – no two are alike. You can invent your own! There is no right or wrong, just the Zen-like enjoyment of creating unique images. To see some of the possibilities, search for Zentangle online. You will be amazed! Dinner includes an Italian beef sandwich, chips and dessert.

Plan Well, Age Well: Preparing for Retirement

People who were involved with their career for decades and used to certain activities may suddenly find themselves at a loss for what to do and how to give meaning to their life in retirement. Therefore, carefully planning how you will spend your time is the key to a successful transition. Many psychologists recommend retiring gradually, going to a part-time schedule before stopping working altogether. The extra time can be spent on developing new interests and hobbies or rediscovering old ones.

Social Services

You’re never too young or too old to prepare for your future. No matter your age, you can start planning for your retirement years now, and if you’re already retired, this is a great time to brush up on your knowledge of retirement issues. When planning for retirement, we do all realize the importance of saving enough money to sustain a comfortable life after one stops working. However, psychologists who study aging, emphasize that money isn't the only thing you need to create a happy retirement.

21

Throughout their lives, many people think about giving back to society by volunteering but often feel overwhelmed with work, families and other responsibilities. During retirement years you can pursue these meaningful activities that you never had time for earlier in life. Volunteering can be an interesting activity that will inspire you and allow you to meet new people and develop friendships. Your role as a volunteer can also give you a sense of pride and identity. Niles Senior Center provides a comprehensive array of programs to help you develop your hobbies and interests. There are also multiple opportunities for volunteering and assisting staff in organizing and facilitating activities. The Senior Social Work team of dedicated professionals can provide you with psychological support and assist with planning for a successful transition to retirement. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Angelika Danek, Senior Social Work Coordinator at (847) 588-8460.

Join Us for the Discussion Group: Grief, Loss & Change
