July 16th The Book Club is taking a trip to Rancho Camulos. Please meet here at the Fillmore Senior Center by 9:30 AM. Marie Wren will be Directing the Tour. Rancho Camulos is a popular tourist destination and famous as the “Home of Ramona” This is a rare opportunity to step back in time to see and experience Southern California much as it was in the 19th. and 20th Centuries. There is a small charge of $5 per person, this is going to be a VIP tour so it will be longer than usual. Besides it’s a nice time to get outdoors and meet some nice people.

Tai Chi is offered every Monday at 8:50 AM – 9:50 Tai Chi is a Chinese martial art made up of a series of graceful movements, one transitioning smoothly into the next. I found an article by Dr. Komaroff sometime ago. He wrote about one of his Medical School colleagues Dr. Peter Wayne. Dr Wayne discusses “Eight Active Ingredients” of Tai Chi. Some of which were; “Awareness” The slow deliberate movements and attention to breath, body positions and sensations foster intense self-awareness. “Intention, Imagery and Visualization” contribute to the healing and physiological effects of tai chi. “Structural integration”, Viewing the body as a whole, instead of a collection of independent parts. “Active Relaxation” Tai Chi’s circular, flowing motion helps shift the body and mind into deeper levels of relaxation. “Strengthening and Flexibility” The integrated movements improve balance, increase lower body strength and promotes strong bones. Slow, continuous, relaxed and repetitive movement enhances flexibility. And in contrast to some other exercises, tai chi is very easy on you joints. . Our class is taught by Dan Roatcap. Dan is a 1973 graduate of Fillmore High School. He started Martial Arts when he was18, then started practicing Tai Chi in 2005. He became a teacher 4 years ago doing Yang Style Tai Chi Chu’an, as taught by the Tung family.
