From the Desk of the Director….
I cannot believe it is March and Spring is
almost here. Here are a few updates of
what will be going on in the next few
months.
1. As many of you know our renovations
are finally complete. Our next steps
will be to order the exercise
equipment. We will start out with a
treadmill and recumbent bike. The
other item we are working on is the
replacement of the large activity room
floor. A grant has been
written for the replacement. Please
understand the flooring is expensive
and may take time to be replaced.
2. Our Annual Dinner Dance is scheduled
for Friday, April 1, 2016 at the Harmar
House. This year’s event will be the kick
off to our 50th Anniversary celebration.
We are hoping everyone will attend this
wonderful evening of food and music.
We are also asking for your help. This
year we will be having a cookie table at
the event. We are in need of volunteers
to bake for us. If you are interested,
please see myself or any staff member
and let them know. We will need the
cookies at our offices by Thursday,
March 31.
3. Last, the Board of Directors and Staff
want to thank everyone who donated to
our Mail Appeal. You support of our
programs and services were
overwhelming.
As always should you have any
questions, concerns or ideas, please
come and see me. Remember my door
is always opened.
Sincerely,
Stefanie
