Center Director Notes…

Dear Friends: December is here! I thank all of you who are making the holidays brighter for others by donating gifts to toy drives, volunteering to visit and sing to others and just being kinder to each other.

By now, you should have received a letter from FiftyForward asking for your support this holiday season. While membership fees offset some of the building, staff salaries and other costs, it does not cover everything. We rely on donations. Please consider making a year-end tax deductible contribution to FiftyForward.

Please notice the new bulletin board in the Social Hall that Jessie created. It is for you, Donelson Station members, to put up concerns about yourself or other members with their permission.

This is where we will also post death notices. If you know of someone who needs to be lifted up or needs resources or assistance, please let staff know. We can possibly help through the FiftyForward Care Team or other community resources.

I am so grateful for our devoted FiftyForward staff and volunteers.

Many of you often say that this center is like a second home. That is only because of the people who choose to serve and make it a Office/Volunteer Managers welcoming place with opportunities for friendship, growth and fun.

Jessie Jefferies Thank you for your support and involvement this year. Happy jjefferies@fiftyforward.org Holidays to you all!
