A Message From The Manager
As you may or may not have noticed, construction has begun
on our new roof. The project began on May 18th and is expected to
take 90 days (or three months), weather permitting. As with any
construction project, there will be some inconvenience and we
apologize in advance for that. We will remain open during this
time, which is the best news of all. The bus route has been
rerouted for now, and as we mentioned there will be the usual
noises that come with any construction project. We feel that the tradeoff is well
worth it. We thank you for your patience. On another note, we did want to alert
everyone that starting in June we will be doing random membership checks. It was
brought to my attention by a member that he felt it was unfair that several members
of his class (to his knowledge) do not have memberships. At $13.00 dollars a year, we
feel that it is a bargain to be able to be able to utilize not only the great activities here
at Manzano Mesa, but the rest of the seven senior centers as well. We check
memberships for open basketball and volleyball, to be fair, we need to do it for ALL
members. We appreciate your cooperation. Thanks and have a great month!

CASA NUTRITION TIP
Benefits of Protein!
Who we are...
Richard J. Berry, Mayor
Department of Senior Affairs
Jorja Armijo Brasher, Director
Rhonda Methvin, Recreation Division Manager
Vary your protein food choices! Eat a variety
of foods from the Protein Foods Group each week.
Experiment with main dishes made with beans or
peas, nuts, soy, and seafood. Choose seafood twice
a week and eat it in place of meat or poultry. Select a
variety of seafood—include some that are higher in
oils and low in mercury, such as salmon, trout, and
herring. Choose lean or low-fat cuts of meat like
round or sirloin and ground beef that is at least 90%
lean. Trim or drain fat from meat and remove poultry skin. Having one egg a day, on average, doesn’t
increase risk for heart disease, so make eggs part of
your weekly choices! Only the egg yolk contains
cholesterol and saturated fat, so have as many egg
whites as you would like. Eat plant protein foods
more often and try beans and peas (kidney, pinto,
black, or white beans; split peas; chickpeas; hummus), soy products (tofu, tempeh, veggie burgers),
nuts, and seeds. They are naturally low in saturated
fat and high in fiber. Choose unsalted nuts or seeds
as a snack, on salads, or in main dishes to replace
meat or poultry. Try grilling, broiling, roasting, or
baking—they don’t add extra fat. Some lean meats
need slow, moist cooking to be tender—try a slow
cooker for them. Avoid breading meat or poultry,
which adds calories. make a healthy sandwich
Choose turkey, roast beef, canned tuna or salmon, or
peanut butter for sandwiches.
