Help Us Complete the Puzzle Through Matching Donations By June 6 FiftyForward is delighted to again offer a matching campaign! The campaign began on April 6 and will run until June 6. During this period, donations of any size will be matched dollar for dollar. Donations can be designated to support FiftyForward Madison Station! For every $105 we receive, we’ll put up a piece of the puzzle located in the main entrance hallway. When we get all the ‘pieces’, we’ll have raised $5,000, which matched will bring $10,000 to our center! Can’t give $105 by yourself? Get together with your class or group to put up a piece! We also have a matching bucket on the counter if you’d like to give small amounts. Thank you in advance for your support!

The Journey Life is like a highway on which we are riding through the night. And we can only see a little ways through the darkness with our lights. We all ride the same road within our tombs of steel Along with other humans we can neither see nor feel. And we all ride this road my friend We just get on a different where and get off a different when. So if you don’t know where you’re going at least remember where you’ve been Now on this matter of the road of life I feel somewhat offended for by the time I’ve learned to drive My journey will have ended. —Don Tanner
