Help Wanted

Want to live longer?  Studies have shown that adults age 55 and older who volunteered for two or more groups were 44 percent less likely to die over the five-year study period than those who didn’t volunteer.  Other studies have linked volunteering with reduced rates of illness and chronic pain, and increased functional ability.  We can speculate about why this is so, but humans basically are social animals.  Feeling needed, making social connections, and serving others have been shown to improve mental health and keep us young.  While physical exercise is important, a positive attitude is what fuels the engine.  Consider serving your community as a member of the Board of Directors.  Elections don’t happen until November, but you can observe a board meeting in the meantime to get an idea of what this volunteer job involves.  Drop in a few minutes before 7 p.m. on the first Tuesday of the month.  The meeting takes place in the community clubhouse on Dante Circle next to the Golf Course office.  Take a test drive before you make a commitment to extend your warranty.
