We are gearing up for the winter season and filling our calendar with many events, trips, activities, and groups.
On November 18 we will be traveling to Duluth for lunch and a show! We will stop and have a delicious lunch at Grandmas Café in Canal Park before watching the “Charlie Brown Christmas Live” play/musical at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC).
The play was adapted from Charles M. Schulz’s timeless story, A Charlie Brown Christmas Live on Stage, which features the unforgettable music of Vince Guaraldi, as well as a concert of beloved holiday carols performed by the Peanuts characters. (There’s no better way to discover the magic of the season!)
The cost for the Charlie Brown tickets start at $32, Transportation is $10, and lunch will be at your own expense. For more information or to reserve your spot, call 387-2660.
Open enrollment for Medicare runs until December 7, so on Thursday, November 29 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Marjori Bottila from Senior Linkage Line will be at the Senior Center. Marjorie can save you time and money on your Medicare supplemental insurance policies and help you choose the best option for you based on your medical needs and prescriptions.
The computers at the Cook County Community Senior Center are open for anyone to use. You don’t have to be a senior to log on. Above, Tom Hedstrom gets ready to browse the Internet for news and fun facts. The center is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Staff photo/Brian Larsen

There is a new Neurological Disorder Support group that started meeting October 30 and will continue doing that every other week at 10 a.m. Neurological Disorders involve the brain, spinal column or the nerves that connect them. Diseases of the nervous system, like Parkinson’s disease and strokes, can impact your life significantly but there is support available! All who have been affected by this are encouraged to join.
Bright Line Eating is another new group that meets at the Center at 1 p.m. on the first Sunday of the month. Bright Line eating is a scientifically grounded program that teaches you a simple process for getting your brain on board so you can finally live healthily. People have had amazing results with this program and if you would like to know more join the next group on December 2nd or check out their website: brightlineeating.com/ about-us/
The Book Club meets the third Thursday every month between 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the Senior Center. This group is open to the public and welcomes everyone. The book for October is “The Late Homecomer” by Kao Kalia Yang. The next club meeting is Thursday, November 15, 2018 at 1 p.m.
We’ve started to make some changes to the building, so if you’re in the neighborhood stop by and check them out. And while you’re here, please stay for lunch or join us for one of the many activities going on!
Cook County has a vibrant and active community of elders. Each week we will offer Senior News to highlight our senior citizens. This week’s submission is about the North Shore Health Care Center, courtesy of Activities Director Belinda Hudler.
