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 regarding our Global Health IssueDear WWSA Members:
We continue to be “paused” by world medical events. What is so different in my view about our current concerns is that our attention is directed outward. The difference between non-communicable diseases, like the ones that we have all been focused on in our senior years, i.e. heart issues, blood pressure, cancer, arthritis and just getting older … and what has our attention now, i.e. a communicable disease ……. Is significant. To address our internal medical issues (non-communicable) we were able to lean on each other for support and sympathetic ears … now we are being advised to stay away from others to minimize our chances of infection (with this communicable germ). Damn, Sam …… how about giving us a break? When some of us might need the physical support of our WWSA friends we are being asked to stay safely isolated. I do not like it. However, in my case (I have type II diabetes) it makes total sense to me, since I want to live another 20 years, to play it safe and minimize my face time with anyone who might be carrying the Corona Virus. I understand the risk, but I am not happy about not seeing you, getting a hug, and holding our female members in my arms while dancing. We Italians are normally into physical contact (haha). Oh Well. In order to take the Long View of our situation, however, it makes sense for WWSA (we are among the Most Vulnerable for Loss of Life) to stay conservative about being around strangers in closed places. If we all continue to be careful and Corona Free, we should not put each other in harms way in the weeks to come. It looks like no Camaraderie’s or gatherings in May or June, but let’s all fantasize about being close in July. Please stay safe. Our close encounters are coming!!!!

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!
