Center Director Notes… Dear Friends: FiftyForward Donelson Station is such a wonderful place to be! I’m always amazed at how many people comment on how friendly our members are and how many activities they enjoy. This truly is a home away from home for many. I hope you take advantage of the center and enjoy all we have to offer. Cigna HealthSpring has invited our artists to display their artwork, both canvas and jewelry, at their offices in Metro Center from February-April. As a financial supporter of FiftyForward, they want their employees to see what today’s older adults are capable of doing. We are excited for this opportunity to show off our work!

Donelson Cafe & Catering Hello from the kitchen! We ended 2017 doing just what we like, feeding people. From our first Give Back Feeding at Thanksgiving, which we plan making an annual event; to the many parties, holiday luncheons, open houses, and events for so many; to the people who line up daily for our daily special. It is so true that when you give, it comes back to you. We thank all of you for your support! You have come to know that we never rest. We hit the ground running in 2018, with only a slight detour with the snow. We just held our 2nd cooking class and plan to hold them quarterly.
We are cooking up some love filled menus and fun leading up to Valentine’s Day. Watch for details and our tree of hearts! We might even see some presidential guests during lunch. Don't forget to follow and like us on Facebook @ DonelsonCafe to see our menu and more. Lots of love from our kitchen to you! Chef Kevin and Mark
