Dear Friends, As we head into the last month of the year, I find myself reflecting on these past months and all the changes. We have had to learn new ways to stay connected and conduct business. Some times have been very challenging. Even with all the challenges, I am reminded of how much I have to be thankful for.

I am grateful to the staff and volunteers at the Senior Center. I am proud to work side by side with individuals who are so dedicated to making the lives of our seniors better. I am thankful for all of you and all the joy you bring to my life. It’s truly a blessing to be here for you. May the meaning of the holidays be deeper, friendships stronger and hopes brighter for you and your family this year. Stay Safe and Stay Well,

Denise

Words Of Wisdom

Þ It’s not what’s under the Christmas tree that matters, it’s who’s around it.

Þ Christmas isn’t a season, it’s a feeling. Þ You will be exactly as happy as you decide to be. Þ We are like a snowflake, all different in our own

beautiful way. Þ When you choose joy! You feel good & when you

feel good you do good. Þ When you stop believing in Santa Claus, you get

underwear.
