Dear 5-5-1 Club participants,Welcome to the Spring edition of the 5-5-1 Club booklet.

In the Winter 2015 Lyngblomsten Lifestyle, Lyngblomsten announced its strategic priorities for the next five years with an emphasis on a philosophy of vibrancy. The philosophy that older adults want and can live life with purpose will be woven throughout all services of Lyngblomsten. Aging vibrantly includes taking care of your body, mind, and spirit with lifelong learning and the arts as the hallmarks. In many ways, it sounds like the programs we already offer through the 5-5-1 Club. The Club is a great place for older adults to come and thrive, learn, explore and belong. This new vibrant aging philosophy will complement our services beautifully!

To continue to grow in this new direction, 2015 will be a transition year for the 5-5-1 Club. Staff will be involved in the day-to-day programs but also involved in the planning of our future. In order to allow time for this planning work, we need to temporarily limit our classes and programs. We have intentionally scaled back so that we can explore and relaunch a similar, but new, 5-5-1 Club model. We are so glad you are part of this exciting time for Lyngblomsten. Stay tuned!

If you would like to learn more about Lyngblomsten’s five-year strategic priorities, you can pick up the winter edition of Lyngblomsten Lifestyle at the 5-5-1 Club or read it online at www.lyngblomsten.org/publications.
