Director’s Corner - February 2024

It has now been almost 7 months since I joined this team. In that time, I feel we have done some pretty incredible work. However, this is just the beginning. I have been planting seeds, fertilizing and watering. Sprouts are beginning to peek through the sometimes chaos and crazy. These sprouts are all of us. Together we have the opportunity to grow this organization. Those who started this center Mary Venable, Jack Clifford and so many others started something amazing. I am blessed to continue the work of those early pioneers with a vision, and the directors and staff who came before me.

Together we have the opportunity to make this place one of a kind (well, two as we have two centers!) I believe our centers are a game changer for the Older Adult who wants to live a life full of opportunity for active living and support from the community. Our centers are pretty incredible.

99% of change starts with just showing up. For those of you who are regulars - thank you. For those of you we haven’t seen - we want to see you. Come in and play. We are regularly adding to our calendar - let us know what you want to see, do and learn.

Join our community by volunteering. Research shows that volunteering contributes to better health and wellbeing. Or just stop by and have lunch - word on the street is the food is terrific.

I look forward to seeing you more and more.
