The Towers Foundation Thanks its Generous Supporters

Helping seniors live their best lives is what we do. Thanks to our donors, we are able to

create programs that are cultural, spiritual, social, full of physical activity and that are mind stimulating. We also provide emergency relief when those among us are in need. But as they say, the rent only covers the rent. Through your gifts our building is infused with everything that is meaningful and enriching.

The list on page five of this month’s Towers Times is an honor roll to date. Our fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. There is still time to make your gift and a wonderful impact on the lives of our seniors.

To learn about giving opportunities, please contact Jennifer Bayer, Director of Development and Community Relations, at 203-772-1816, ext. 290 or jennifer@towerone.org. You can also make your gift online at www.towerone.org.

Watch for updated pictures of your family member at many of our programs and activities!

The Towers Residents’ Association hosted a lovely Valentine’s Day afternoon celebration with sweet desserts and entertainment by singer Karen Wagner.

"Love is in the Air" was made possible by a fantastic group of volunteers and Temple Beth Shalom 7th grade Hebrew School Students. They spent a few hours putting together over 300 bags of treats! We thank our volunteers for everything they do for our community.

On the morning of February 14th both staff and volunteers had the pleasure of delivering “Love is in the Air” goodie bags to all of our residents. Don’t know who enjoyed it more, the residents receiving the goodies or the volunteers and staff receiving the smiles of happy seniors! Thanks to the generous support of our donors, this program is made possible.
