2015
Another year has passed, the holidays have come and gone, and Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. The Board of Trustees wish all Penn
National residents a happy and healthy 2015. Groundhog Day is February
2 and I’m ready for Spring.
As you know, Penn National is an active community with many social and
cultural programs and activities enabling residents to live an active lifestyle. The Support Network at Penn National (SNaP) is an active membership organization that encourages living life to the fullest. SNaP also promotes planning for the future, especially when life's unexpected twists and
turns land on our doorsteps. These twists and turns often bring about
changes that require us to depend on others for a short time or in some
cases, for a longer time.
Over the holidays, the Board of Trustees have been busy putting together
programs we hope you will find informative and useful. Our programs are
designed to help members stay healthy and be better informed and prepared to plan for their future now rather than later. The first three programs in the series are listed on page two of this newsletter.

Thank You
Thank you to everyone who supported our pecan sale,
which was another success. Special thanks go to Don
and Margie Gracyalny for the use of
their home this year. And to everyone
who volunteered to pick up cases of
Don and Margie
pecans, sort and bag, make calls, and
deliver pecans. And to our Treasurer, Jim Hilmer, who
Marilyn Ross and Barb
keeps our financial records accurate.
Brown making calls
We could not do this important fundraiser without the
volunteers who step up each year to make it a success. We’ll do it again
next year with everyone’s help.
Valentine’s Day is February 14. Why not send flowers
to that special someone. SNaP members receive a
ten percent discount on flowers from B & H.

Summit Health Programs Survey
If you have not already done so, please participate in the survey at
http://snapn.org/Summit_survey.php to help determine what kinds of
seminars will be presented by Summit Health at Penn National in the next
several months. This is a joint venture by Summit Health, White Rock,
and SNaP, and its main purpose is to address topics that are currently of
interest to our residents.
Medical Equipment for Loan, Rent or Sale
SNaP has a few members who are willing to loan walkers or canes for
members in need. However, it is best to take the equipment to your physician or physical therapist for proper height measurement.
If you have medical equipment or assistive devices that you can offer to
other SNaP members in need, call the SNaP office. The office cannot
store any equipment or devices.
All types of medical equipment
can be loaned, rented,
or sold at various locations.
Check out the Resources tab on the
SNaP website for details.
Meet the Artist
Anne Lynott is a Penn National resident and
SNaP member. A nurse by profession, Anne
retired and moved to Fayetteville from Virginia.
At 65, she took her first watercolor painting
class from Ruth Durbin. With Virginia Hair,
Anne traveled to England and attended several
watercolor workshops. Anne enjoys painting a
variety of subjects and says “she must like the subject in order to paint it.”
Along with a group of eight to ten other students, Anne takes weekly
classes from Carol Rinehart at the Grove Family Library, where her note
cards are on display. Anne has eight paintings on display at the “Small
Wonders” exhibit at the Council for the Arts, 159 S. Main Street, Chambersburg. The exhibit runs until February 20.
