Welcome to Who's Who Singles Arizona Inc.
We are Who's Who Singles Arizona.
Welcome to Who's Who Singles Arizona website! Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We would love to hear from and answer any questions you may have for us. Who's Who Singles Arizona (WWSA) is a social club for single adults, age 55+, to provide camaraderie through interesting activities and special events. Founded in 1973, WWSA has approximate 200 members with diverse backgrounds and interests. Some of the activities provided for club members include:
Our members form lifetime friendships as we have become one big family. For more information about Who's Who Singles Arizona and how we started, please go to our About Us Page. A NOTE from the WWSA PresidentPrez Sez
There are ninety plus members in this, the best social club in the valley. At this stage in our lives we are all brothers and sisters or at least we should be. We are finding ourselves losing friends through the natural process and there is absolutely nothing that we can do about that. With that in mind, we must do all that we can to maintain the relationships that are present with those we dance and dine with, communicate with and that, my dear members, is what’s important. The rumor mill can easily get out of hand and we must persevere and cancel all negative thoughts about someone that you might have a difficulty with over some misunderstood statement, action or challenge to a belief system or operating procedure. To be honest I have violated this approach myself but readily apologized at the first opportunity. We all have strong feelings because of the way we were tutored by our parents or because of events in our lives that have clouded our perspectives on rationality. Actions or remarks can be hurtful to someone else’s persona over an insignificant event that was blown completely out of context. So, please think about it. Why put someone down when they are doing their best to survive and without knowing exactly what turmoil they might be experiencing at any given moment. If you have made a mistake, be quick to apologize for an out of context reaction to something you know has been proven untrue. The victimized person still might be feeling the pain of your misunderstanding. I may be way off base here . . . . but please think about this and let me know if I am incorrect. But if I am correct . . . . I remember an old World War II saying. . . “loose lips sink ships!” We care enough about our membership family to respect the abilities and talents of others to preserve the ninety plus members that we so enjoy. Jim Gallagher sent me a bevy of memes and my favorite, which ties into this dialogue says, “Sometimes the thoughts in my head get bored and go for a stroll out of my mouth. This is never a good thing!” In other business, our club has some fabulous events coming soon. The October 10th dance at Scottsdale Resort will have a crazy disco theme and is being organized by Anne Klink. We just might have John Travolta or Olivia Newton-John in attendance, or at least some lookalikes! What a treasure this club is for all of us. There is mutual love for each and everyone of us. Count on it! For contemplation: Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life out of nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We call those people cops! Phillip G.

WHY WWSA IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTHResearcher George Slavich, of the University of California, who studies human social genomics, says that our genes can actually be turned on or off depending on our social environments.
In his discussion on social genomics, Dr. Slavich says that social stress is a stronger predictor of chronic disease-related mortality than physical inactivity, alcohol use, and smoking. This is powerful. It means that social connection matters. The people we choose to spend time with matters! I also know that creating healthy community is not effortless. Many of my patients tell me that lack of support is one of the biggest obstacles they face when deciding to make a lifestyle shift. I take this feedback to heart. Community is so important to me. I have seen firsthand how powerful and transformative supportive groups can be. When my patients have a support system, they are far more likely to sustain weight loss and feel better. The right community can also help you sustain lifestyle and behavior changes that are so important to long-term success, health, and happiness. Being connected to others is a necessary ingredient for health, just like food, water, air, sleep, or movement. |
We can laugh with you or without you, but it is more fun with you.

NEWS FROM ADOT MOTOR VEHICLE DIVISION DON’T GET GROUNDED
On October 1, 2020 new federal ID regulations will take effect at TSA airport security checkpoints.
The new federal rules will require air travelers to have a federally-compliant form of ID in order to pass security clearance.
Arizonans have a choice to get the Travel ID. This credential is a driver license or ID that has a gold star on the top right-hand corner, and getting one is perhaps the most convenient solution.
In order to get one, you can make an appointment at www.servicearizona.com for any MVD office. Walk-ins are also welcome. Or you may visit an Authorized Third Party driver license location.

October of 2020 will be here soon. Don't wait and don't get grounded. Get the Travel ID!
