MSAC Welcomes Americorps Member, Liz Dodd
Lisbeth Dodd is the newest addition to MSAC staff. As a
Neighbor to Neighbor Americorps member (a new joint effort
with Central Vermont Council on Aging), she will be working here
and in the community to serve seniors in a variety of ways.
Liz, as she prefers to be called, resides locally and has been
a Vermonter for many years. A fairly recent member of MSAC
herself, she will be assisting with Healthy Aging programming
and leading some activities. As a swimmer and dancer, Liz is
looking forward to furthering the movement opportunities at the
Center. Does anyone have a new or gently used ping pong table to
donate
Liz will also be focusing on volunteer recruitment and management,
and has already begun to reach out to our members to
draw on their special skills and interests. She has experience in
woodworking, and the Center may find itself in the coming
months with plant stands, restored storage cabinets, and card tables.
Stay tuned and speak up if interested!
Liz has Masters degrees in Social Work and History. She
worked for many years at UVM and later enjoyed a career as a
clinical social worker. Experiencing the impact of life challenges,
and the opportunities of aging of her family and friends, has contributed
to her awareness of area, state and national resources for
seniors.
Liz’s sunny office is located in the Resource Room (back
corner of MSAC) where she is looking forward to putting her experience
to work through expanding the library
of print and visual materials, as well as
hosting partnering organizations in presentations
and discussion groups on topics of interest
to Center members.
Liz enjoys a good conversation with
fellow members. (Please bring pictures of
your grandkids and pets to share!)

Ways to get involved in the efforts of our Americorps
member, Liz Dodd (see story, page 1):

to help!
Help in the front office and with handy-person projects around the center: check for current
needs or tell us about your skills!

Special Announcement: Beginner’s Ukulele
Class: Open to all adults.
We have been approached by a significant number of people
under the age of 50 who would like to take Bob Riggens’
Beginner’s Ukulele class this Fall. I have decided to
consider this an “intergenerational” class opportunity, in
keeping with the growing buzz of passionate Ukulele playing
that has grown out of MSAC and spilled into the greater
community over the past two years. Interested people
50+ will need to become members in order to register, and
people under 50 will be charged $70 to register for the
class (the equivalent of what it would cost a new member).
Class starts Tuesday, October 2 nd , and goes 6-8 pm in
the Community Room.
Ongoing Ukulele group rehearsal happens Thursday nights,
6-8 pm, in the same place, and they are available for performances
(contact Bob Barrett).
Finally, on Sunday, November 18th, there will be a special
ukulele workshop and concert by Lil’ Rev, an accomplished
folk musician with whom some of our uke players
spent time last fall, so save the date! – Janna

MSAC joins organizations and schools around the country for
“Mix it Up at Lunch Day” on Tuesday,
October 30th. Meet someone new and discover ways to
find common ground as we gather for a Pie Luncheon in the
beautiful and bright community room. Mix it Up in a friendly atmosphere.
Band starts at 11:00, lunch and discussion goes 12:00
to 1:00, followed by more music and dancing. The day is designed
to focus on understanding what separates us and keeps us
from getting to know others. Initiated by MSAC member and volunteer
instructor Liz Snell, who has been inspired by
www.tolerance.org. Let us know if you’d like to bring a pie –
pizza, quiche, or dessert. Salad, fresh fruit and beverages will also
be provided. It's the perfect time to bring a friend! Reservations
needed by 10/25 for planning. $4 or free if you bring a pie.

“Into Great Silence”
(2005) 161
minutes. Director Philip
Groening’s study of the
Grande Chartreuse monastery
introduces a world
of austere beauty, as it
follows the activities of
the resident monks
whose silence is broken
only by prayer and song.
With no sound, save that
of natural rhythms and
age-old routines, the documentary
captures the
simplicity and profundity
of lives lived with absolute
purpose and presence.
Suggested donation:
$3.00.

Slide Show and Talk: A Second Bhutan Visit by Tina Muncy
Thursday, November 8, 2012- 7:00PM
Bhutan is a country where buying cigarettes is illegal, the rice is red
and chillies aren’t just a seasoning but the entire dish. It’s also a
deeply Buddhist land, where men wear a tunic to work and where
Gross National Happiness is deemed more important than Gross
National Product. Visitors famously have to pay a minimum of US
$200 per day, making it one of the world’s most expensive countries
to visit. Tina Muncy went back for a second visit to Bhutan
this spring at the invitation of the Ministry of Education to train
principals and teachers. Her faithful group of supporters has asked
if she would do a second show of pictures from this visit. So she
will combine some of the introduction to Bhutan from last time
with new pictures and stories. Please join us.
Come to the Computer Lab on Thursdays from 10
a.m. to noon to consult with volunteer technician Nathan
Vaughan with your computer questions! (Free!)
