Centered & Connected Update for June 2020 FiftyForward J. L. Turner Center Dear FiftyForward J. L. Turner members, We hope you are all staying safe and healthy and doing as well as possible during this time we are in. Alexandra and I certainly do miss you and look forward to when we are all able to return to FiftyForward centers safely. On a personal note, this excited Gran has some happy news to share, my third grandchild, Ms. Cora Josephine Rigsby arrived May 11 the day after Mother’s Day! We cannot be back together yet for programs inside our centers, but we certainly want to stay connected as well as we can. This month each of our centers is hosting a special Beep-and-Greet “drive-thru” event. We hope you can swing through and say hello! We will practice safe social distancing protocols, so wear your mask, take a drive through the parking lot, and give us a wave. You are welcome to join any of the drive-thru events scheduled at the centers, details in the newsletter. Our FiftyForward J. L. Turner “Beep and Greet” will be on Friday, June 19 from 10—11 a.m. We hope you will swing by for a fun FiftyForward-themed extravaganza! Come showing your FiftyForward spirit by making a sign, wearing FiftyForward attire, or donning anything purple and green. We'll have free “to-go” boxed lunches for the first 75 people who come to say hello. In other news, each spring we send out our FiftyForward Membership Survey because your feedback is very important to us. This survey provides important information for FiftyForward staff and center Advisory Councils about the ways we can best serve you. Your opinions and input mean a lot to us, and this year we updated the survey to include questions about access to technology, virtual programming, COVID concerns, re-opening, and general demographics. Our hope is that we can learn more about what we can do to support, champion, and enhance your life! You can either click on this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YKNR5QD or call the center at 615-622-3040 to complete the survey. The deadline to complete the survey is June 19. We wish you all the very best and look forward to talking with you and seeing you (at a distance) soon. Take good care,
Connie Connie Rigsby Center Director
