News From the Director March is finally here, and with it comes SPRING! I know we are all ready for some warmer weather. March is a busy time here as we prepare for our 15th annual Whistlestop Fundraiser coming up on March 13. The theme this year is a “Train Murder Mystery” that will keep everyone on their toes. We will have a large silent auction and reception beginning at 5:30 p.m., with dinner at 7 p.m. Lelan Statom of News Channel 5 will be our emcee that night, and the evening will culminate in naming the Senior of the Year and Conductor of the Year. Those in the running for Conductor this year are Nathan Massey for the Madison-Rivergate Area Chamber of Commerce, Gracie Porter with the Kiwanis Club of Madison and our own John Young representing FiftyForward Madison Station. Remember, one dollar = one vote, so vote early and often! Tickets are still available through March 6, and members may attend for the discounted rate of $50. Thanks to our big sponsors this year including our title sponsor Dollar General Corporation, Creekside Health and Rehabilitation Center and The Memorial Foundation. The membership committee will also be making calls this month to folks that have not yet renewed their membership. We hope to see all of you back this year with us at FiftyForward Madison Station!
