Letter from the Director Dear Turner Center Members, Spring is almost here and we have some great things planned to enjoy the warmer weather that is around the corner. The Turner Center will be asking members for their feedback in our program survey that we are administering in March. We want to hear from you with your ideas for classes, trips and programs that you would like to see at the center. The survey will be available in the Turner Center lobby during our regular business hours, Monday - Friday from 9:00a.m.-3:00p.m. Please turn your completed survey in to an Ambassador or FiftyForward staff member. The survey results will help guide programming for the coming months. Thank you for your valuable feedback. Fondly, Megan
