Hello People!

Spring is here and we are excited! It’s so nice to get out and see the wonderful signs of life springing up everywhere!

Our volunteers are a lot like spring. Everyone is happy to see them and they make our center bright and colorful with all the goodness they bring each day!

Every day, our volunteers come to the center ready to help serve you. Whether it’s greeting you at the door, serving a meal, setting up for activities and games, leading a class, organizing the Nifty Nook, driving the bus, helping on trips, delivering meals, or calling BINGO- they are the heart of the center! As we continue to grow, the work that the volunteers do increases. They are here out of the goodness of their heart. Be sure to say “Thank you” when you see a volunteer.

Cheers! Kathy and Dawn

Winner Winner!– Jonathon Jones was our lucky cal-cutta winner! He won $212.00 and

returned the entire amount to the center! What a win - $424.00 to the Center! Cal-cutta funds stay at the center for our use. Last month we had a singer and rented a soft ice cream machine. Both were funded by cal-cutta winnings. Thank you to everyone who played.

St. Patrick Day T-Shirt raffle. We had a donation of 4 St. Patrick’s Day Shirts to raffle

off. The winners were: Millie Cherney, Larry Gold, and Jim Nabors won 2 shirts.

Road Trips! Starting April 1st we will be taking reservations for these fun outings. Both trips

Heart of Gold, An Optimist Outlook,

Abundant Supply of Selflessness, Passion to Please,

& a Never Ending Energy to Help.

You become a volunteer not for what you get out of it, but for what you become by doing it.”
