Thanks-filled November FiftyForward Madison Station 301 Madison St, Madison, TN 37115 (615) 860-7180 www.fiftyforward.org
Hours of Operation: Monday—Thursday, 7a.m.—4:30 p.m. (Fitness Center open until 6:30 p.m.), Fridays until 3:30p.m.
Exciting New Technology Comes to FiftyForward! We are excited to partner with My Senior Center, a web-based program, that will simplify how we enter and track membership data. With this much-needed technology upgrade, we will be installing a brand new scanning system for our front desk check-in. Your current FiftyForward card will still work. The touch-screen will be much larger, and you will be able to select specific activities and classes rather than just general categories. The system is very user-friendly, but we will also have volunteers standing by to assist you. As with anything new, there will be a period of adjustment as we all get used to this new system. We kindly ask for your patience as we all will be learning together.
Improvement for 1st Day of Trip Sign-Up Wow, trips are more popular than ever! And thanks to our new bus, even more people are getting to enjoy them. In order to make the third Tuesday trip sign-up a smoother process, we will be lining folks up in front of the bulletin board. This will free up the counter for those that need to sign-in. We thank you in advance for your patience!
Friday Night Music Jam Update We would like to thank all of the hard-working, dedicated volunteers who have run our Friday Night Music Jam for the past four years. They have done a superb job! Moving forward, the Friday Night Music Jam will now be run by FiftyForward Madison Station and will continue for the remainder of this year. We plan on continuing the Jam next year also as long as the attendance remains up and we have volunteers. We will have concessions at the Jam including chips, drinks, candy bars and coffee. Attendees are more than welcome to bring their own sandwiches/meals. We will continue to “pass the hat” for donations. Please note that the Jam will NOT be open on Friday, Nov. 28 and Friday, December 26 due to the holidays. We hope to see you on Friday nights from 6-9 p.m! Our Mission: FiftyForward enriches the lives of adults 50+ by providing pathways to health, well-being and lifelong learning.

Wyndi’s slapstick, Naomi-like sense of humor, and Kelly’s big Wynonna voice have really put this team above the rest. When in costume, they are easily mistaken for the real Judds.” Feast upon a traditional Christmas menu of turkey, dressing, garden salad, cranberry Jello-O salad, green beans, roll & dessert. Tickets are on sale at the front for $20.00 and will be available through Friday, December 5th.
