Center Director Notes... Another season is upon us. Summer brings vacations, hot weather and fun! It may slow us, but it will not stop us. You will notice some changes in the office this summer. James Cunningham will be out for a while. We will miss him, and I will stay in contact with him. Meanwhile, Joe will be working the morning shift and Daniel Keeton, whom many of you know from his volunteering with us, will work Joe’s afternoon shift as a temporary/part-time FiftyForward employee. Again, thanks to all who contributed to FiftyForward’s matching campaign. As of June 13, Donelson Station had raised the most money of all the Centers! Thank you! Your support is appreciated immensely. FiftyForward’s Board has approved the 2014-15 budget. At the meeting, Donelson Station was highlighted as having the largest increase in membership this year! We are so happy to see new and returning members. Please, please let us know any ideas you have to improve your center! As always, thanks to our wonderful staff and volunteers! We couldn’t do it without you all. Sincerely, Angela Bryan

Program Director Notes…. Greetings! July is already here! Happy July 4th! Hope you all are enjoying vacations, sunshine and family this summer. Just a few changes to keep in mind. Water aerobics at McKendree Village starts at 9 am going forward on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Their open swim has changed to 10am immediately following the water aerobics class. This works out great for those of you who like to participate in both activities. Remember, that if you would like to join my strength class, I ask that you make an appointment with me before you begin this class. Sing-along, Tai Chi, line dancing, and art classes are on break for the summer. Let me know if you have interests in other classes that are not listed in this newsletter. We always welcome volunteer teachers and invite you to share your ideas. Thank you! Lisa Maddox
