Bridge Basics and Beyond: Drop-In
Lessons
Know the basics and want to learn
more? Need to brush up? Want to be-
come a better declarer or defender?
This ongoing, no-charge program will
cover the latest bidding and playing
techniques. There will be lectures,
quizzes and pre-dealt hands to practice
with. Come learn some new skills on
Thursdays, 10-11:30 a.m. at the Wilson-
ville Community Center.
Hatha Yoga
Hatha yoga is a main branch of yoga
from which many styles are derived. In
hatha yoga (pronounced ha-ta), you will
practice a series of traditional yoga pos-
tures including seated, standing (plus
balance), prone, inversions, along with
breath (pranayama) practices meant to
align the structure of the body, opening
its many energy channels, all to create
optimal function. Because various
styles of yoga may be incorporated into
this class, you’ll experience a variety
that ensures growth, challenge and an
appreciation for what yoga truly offers.
Although this class is open to all levels,
previous yoga experience is helpful.
Please bring your own yoga mat. All
other props are provided. The class will
meet on Thursdays (July 11-Aug.15)
from 8:30-9:30 a.m. at the Wilsonville
Community Center. Cost for the class is
$42.

7/11 - Know the 10 Signs
Gain an understanding of the differ-
ences between age-related memory
loss and Alzheimer’s and what to do if
someone has signs of the disease.
8/8 - Understanding and
Responding to Dementia-Related
Behavior
During the middle stage of demen-
tia, the person with the disease often
starts to exhibit new behaviors that
can be confusing for a caregiver. These
behaviors are a form of communica-
tion, and are essential to understand-
ing the needs of the person with de-
mentia. This session will help caregiv-
ers identify common triggers for be-
haviors associated with dementia, ex-
plain the process for assessing and
identifying challenging behaviors and
list strategies to address some com-
mon dementia-related behaviors.
BINGO at the Community Center
The Wilsonville Community Center
will host a free BINGO game on the
third Wednesday of each month at
12:45 p.m. There is no charge to play
and winners will receive fun prizes!
