THE{FULL}LIFE
July 2014
Touchmark starting Intergenerational Choir
Daughters, sons, fathers, mothers, grandmothers,
grandfathers, great-grandmothers, great-
grandfathers, and friends are invited to enjoy,
inspire—and sing.
The Intergenerational Choir will practice every
Tuesday at 4 pm in the Touchmark Terrace Lodge
Forum. There is no fee to join. The first meeting
was in June, but people are still welcome to join.
Members need to attend at least 50% of all
meetings in order to participate. No previous
experience, including music reading, is necessary.
The group is also recruiting instrumentalists to
serve as accompanists.
Created as a musical service choir, the group
will visit area retirement communities and other
groups to share songs and especially bring music
to individuals who cannot easily access live
performances.
For questions, people can contact choir director
Marti Fields Johnson at 541-647-0153.
Ready, aim, roll ... bocce ball is here
The new Bocce Ball Court is now complete. It is located behind Cottage 10 (just down the pathway
between cottages 12 and 13). The court launch included a ribbon cutting.
2. July. A time of fun, family,
friends—and freedom.
With Independence Day around
the corner, people find themselves
reflecting on and honoring those
who have fought for that freedom.
A recent event held at Touchmark
gave people the opportunity to do
just that.
Central Oregon community
members gathered at Touchmark
for an inspiring presentation of
Honor Flight, a documentary
about four living World War
II veterans and a town coming
together to give them the trip of
a lifetime to see the Washington,
DC, memorials.
Sid Poe, a Touchmark resident,
cohosted the presentation to raise
awareness about Honor Flights
and the race against time that is
happening around the nation and
right here in Central Oregon.
“World War II survivors are
leaving us every day. Our biggest
challenge is finding veterans to put
on the plane so we can honor their
legacy and thank them for their
service.”
Sid grew up in a military family
and often heard his father’s stories
about serving in World War II and
Korea. A US Air Force Vietnam-
era veteran, Sid himself served
four years. He later went on to
work with AT&T for more than 30
years, but he has always deeply
valued and appreciated veterans
and military families.
Nonprofit honors vets
After moving with his wife Lisa
from Florida to Bend, Sid became
involved with Bend Heroes
Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated
to funding Honor Flights for
World War II veterans living in
Central and Eastern Oregon and
Portland.
Honor Flights arranged through
Bend Heroes Foundation are four-
day trips, including travel to and
from Washington, DC, visits to
the World War II Memorial and
other memorials, a presentation at
Arlington National Cemetery, and
a tour of the United States Capitol
led by Oregon lawmakers.
In 2013 and just last month, Sid
had the privilege of joining an
Honor Flight as a guardian, a
volunteer who helps veterans with
their physical and emotional needs
throughout the trip. During the
recent Touchmark event, Sid said
being able to experience an Honor
Flight personally really drives
home the significance of what
these veterans did for our country.
“It was a very emotional
experience for all of us, and being
involved with this effort has made
me appreciate even more what my
dad did so many years ago.”

3. If you read the title and said to yourself, wait a
minute, it’s July: July is the time to celebrate
independence and unification. As countries and as
individuals, we are keenly attracted to the notion
of independence. Research tells us that it’s our
lifestyle—things we do and choices we make—that
determines how we will age.
According to research done at California State University, Fullerton by C. Jessie Jones and Roberta
E. Rikli, a key element in maintaining independence later in life is sustaining one’s “fitness capacity
(strength, endurance, agility, and balance).” Simple, right? So why declare interdependence? Because life
happens. Appointments, other priorities, injuries, and many other reasons all serve to interfere with or
distract our attention from exercise. Encouragement and accountability can be essential to sticking with a
fitness program.
In our office, several team members go to the local YMCA to exercise at noon. Sometimes, we join a group
exercise class together, and other days we each do an individual program; regardless, we check in with
each other. We carpool. We rearrange schedules.
During this month when we celebrate unity and independence, ask someone to start a walking group
with you. Join a class. Walk around the corner and visit a friend. Ask a Life Enrichment/Wellness team
member about steps you could take with others to improve your fitness capacity.
Declare interdependence—and gain more independence!
For more information about Touchmark’s Life Enrichment/Wellness program or the research regarding
standards for maintaining physical independence in later years, email me at FullLife@Touchmark.com.
Declare interdependence!
