March 14, when this column was written, saw a high in Oakmont in the balmy mid-80s. It felt just like Huatulco, Mexico, where a group of our fellow OGC members spent a week just 14 days ago. The rain and cold weather may not be finished with us yet, but today was a preview of things to come: sunny days, balls actually bouncing on the fairway grass, glorious golf here in Oakmont and, for the more fortunate, lots of golf on other courses in the area over the next six months. The 2017 Oakmont Seniors season is upon us and, to kick it off, there will be a general members meeting on April 4 at 10 a.m. in the Quail Inn. The meeting will be devoted to the organization of our club, followed by coverage of the other golf clubs we will visit this year. As a duly recognized golf section we need a set of bylaws to describe the officers of the club, their duties, election rules, etc. Fortunately the entire document is less than two pages and this part of the program should only take a few minutes. After that we will look at the 2017 play schedule, organize the car-pooling procedures, and answer questions. Any interested parties are cordially invited to attend, but to vote at the meeting one must be a member of OGC and have paid dues for the year. You can bring a check made out to the Oakmont Seniors to the meeting or deposit it in the box labeled Seniors in the Club Room at the West Course Pro Shop. Our first event will be at the Santa Rosa Country Club, about 15 miles from Oakmont. We will meet at the Quail Inn parking lot that morning and carpool from there. Naturally we will be greeted by our hosts at their luxurious clubhouse for registration and a great breakfast, followed by a round on their immaculate golf course. After that we will enjoy a fine lunch, and receive awards for the winning foursomes. Sound good? It is, not only at the SRCC but also at our other events this year. Find out more about these great bargains and get your questions about our fun club answered at the meeting on April 4. See you there.

Our March meeting began on a somber note as a dear friend to many, Bonnie Crosse, died the morning of March 9. Dianne read a brief tribute and we held a moment of silence. Bonnie was an artist, photographer, writer, a book lover, a therapist, and most of all a staunch lesbian feminist. She will be greatly missed. Iris summarized the recent ORW survey that found that prices and concert times were just about right for most. Water should be available at concerts, but food and coffee are not seen as necessary. The decision for the venue, Iris explained, is made three weeks prior, depending on the number of tickets sold, with the West Rec. used for more intimate performances. For the full report contact sue.dibble@gmail.com. A new political action SIG, Silver ReSisters held a second very successful “postcard party,” with a discussion following to explore the group’s direction. To get involved email SilverResisters@gmail.com. The Sierra Girls Garden opens for the season on April 15, from 9–10:30 a.m. Plants, flowers and edible goodies are available (www.sierragarden.org). The golf SIG is also starting up again with the first tournament on April 2. Contact Judy Early for more information. An informative mini health fair featured nine local health professionals. Home Care Assistance’s Rikki Jacobsen gave a brief overview of choosing a good homecare provider, while Carol Kinney, RN described “Healing Touch” to balance energy and relieve pain. Massage therapist Lisa Muckle practices a blended style of “conscious bodywork” and offers massage monthly in Oakmont (lamuckle@att.net). Santa Rosa podiatrist Dr. Karen Farac, DPM, MS (1211 College Ave., #176) gave an overview of ways to preserve foot function and tips about orthotics and shoes. Local chiropractor Dr. Nancy Rocks, DC suggested steps for healthy aging: embracing a positive attitude, eating healthy, relaxing, maintaining body alignment, stimulating your mind, and getting off the couch! She also demonstrated an easy daily exercise to improve posture. Keeping our personal health records current was recommended by Jeanne DeJoseph who provided a handout with an outline to follow. Finally Paige Wickland discussed the ORW Care Calendar. Sometimes temporary assistance is needed because of illness or injury and this SIG has been managing the “Care Calendar,” which we use to provide episodic care and support within ORW. As an example, Karen and Elaine told how it had worked for them when Karen coordinated care for Elaine after a knee replacement. The gift of our time when help is needed is a wonderful way to support each other.
Upcoming meetings
April 13: Game Night—bring your favorite. May 11: Movie Night (with popcorn). Saturday, June 17: Potluck Pride Picnic. We’ll celebrate diversity with all of our Oakmont neighbors, featuring the Oakie Folkies and Oakmont Ukesters. Lastly, it’s time to volunteer for our June fundraiser for 10,000 Degrees scholarships. More information is coming soon but, whether you have a little time or a lot, please contact Carroll at carroll.johnson@gmail.com.
