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 President Dear Members,
This is my last opportunity to communicate with each of you as your sitting president. Thank you for your support over the last 24 months. This was an unusual time to hold such an office. President of a Social Club that was forced to not be very Social. I do love a challenge, fortunately. It has been fun and educational for me to work with each of our volunteers during this time. I have loved it. Understanding from behind the scenes how hard each volunteer works to make their efforts look “easy” has been a healthy experience for me. I appreciate your efforts (you know who you are). You have amazed me for 24 months’ and I am certain that each of you will continue your good work. Last month’s letter asked for two people to “step up” to help out. Both would be connected with our attempts to revamp our Website. We need one person to take responsibility for day-to-day …. how the site is working …. and a second person to be our “Content” writer for our Website. I do not expect either job to require a lot of your time each month. No one has stepped up. Please think about your desire to help out. If you feel you’re ready to help, please contact me in the near future. Some ideas about how to touch more potential members are developing. Jim Gallagher asked for a single sheet handout which lists the activities that our club normally sponsors. We have produced such a sheet. We are working on producing a more professional version of that handout. In a conversation with Dave Gannalo at our Starfire Saturday Morning Breakfast club this weekend, Dave suggested we put a WWSA ad in local publications to expose the club to those who are ready to experience new ways to develop more social contacts. We will discuss that idea at our next board meeting. I think that each of us has done remarkably well during our COVID experience. But we are ready to get back into action. That is evidenced by attendance at our recent Happy Hour/Camaraderie events. They have been huge successes! Members are clearly enjoying the events. I see lots of smiles each Wednesday. Our Member Only Dance on April 25th will be so much FUN. I am looking forward to dancing every dance with a different lady. Again, Thank you for your solid support during my tenure. You were a delight to serve. See you April 25 …………… Bill Soccorsy Important Upcoming Dates 2021 DINNER DANCES OCT 10, 2021 & DEC 5, 2021 Check back, dates may change Click here for information regarding upcoming events Click here for a complete calendar of events For more info contact us at Info@wwsa.net. 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.
To learn more about the documents you need to bring, please visit www.aztravelid.com
October of 2020 will be here soon. Don't wait and don't get grounded. Get the Travel ID!
