MAY 2015 ISSUE
THE WHISTLESTOP
From the Director… Your donation to FiftyForward can meet twice the needs! Would you like your donation to FiftyForward Madison Station to MEET TWICE THE NEEDS? Thanks to an agency stakeholder, it can! An anonymous donor has provided seed dollars to match all donations to us made before June 30th. Isn’t that exciting!? As members, you know firsthand FiftyForward Madison Station provides opportunities for lifelong learning, health & fitness, socialization, day trips and FABULOUS parties. But did you also know that we provide transportation to the center, scholarships for those in need, and care management through Living at Home? All of these programs and services cost money to provide, and that’s where your donation dollars come in.
Center Closed Memorial Day In observance of Memorial Day, the Center will be closed on Monday, May 25th. The staff of FiftyForward Madison would like to take this time to honor the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. We also extend our thanks to all those who have served or are currently serving, and their families.
Our matching campaign will be held from May 1st to June 30th, 2015. We hope you will make a donation to improve the lives of older adults in our area. Our goal for this campaign will be $5000 (matched). Feel free to see me with any questions you may have. And remember, your donation, if made before June 30th, 2015, will be MATCHED! Thank you for considering this request.
