9 January/February 2016 Members of the National Institute of Senior Centers Page 9 Highlights January, 2016 Activity Descriptions New! For 2016 Sewing Classes Offered Every Monday With Diane Tippins! Initial class will determine participants needs, where the instructor needs to focus, adaptive devices or help where needed, supply lists and more! CLASS WILL BE LIMITED TO 10 Members Figure Drawing - Coming in January, join us for a new way to exercise your brain. According to a study conducted by Newcastle University in England*, figure drawing for three hours a week over a two month period improved performance on a battery of mental abilities tests including memory, far better than vigorous walking or doing word puzzles for the same amount of time. No experience in art classes? No matter! The focus of the class will be brain exercise, not improved drawing ability. But don't be surprised if that happens, too! * Sign Up in Orange Binder.
