memorial donation instead of flowers
is a way to remember a friend or

of the Senior Center. This will
benefit the Center for a long time.

Kathy’s Connection~
Hello Friends,
I want to wish all the ladies who in some way have held the title of Mother in some capacity a “Very Happy
Mother’s Day.” MOM spelled backwards is still MOM. That is so true of many moms; you can love them,
sometimes not like them, be happy for them, be sad & worry about them. Anyway you spell it, they are &
always will be your MOM.
Chair Yoga is going to start May 1st. It will be every Friday in May from 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Please see the
information in the newsletter. We hope this will be an event that will continue every Friday from that date on.
On Friday, May 8th we will have our Mother’s Day celebration. The lunch will be catered by the chef from
Sterling House of Davison. The cost is $5.00 and you must RSVP by Friday, May 1st. The monies will be
donated to the Alzheimer’s Association.
I would like to remind everyone of the fundraiser we will have at the senior center on Saturday, May 9th. It will
start at 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. That time slot is for a workshop that will have instructors available to help you spruce
up you dancing skills; if the workshop does not interest you, then how about coming for the dance, which will be
held from 7 p.m. – 11 p.m. It will benefit our senior center and will be fun to dance and or socialize with others.
On Wednesday, May 20th Senior Power Day at Crossroads Village will be from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The big tent is
full of vendors that have so much information to share. Tickets are available in the front office of the senior
center; cost per ticket is $3.00.
On Friday, June 5th the senior center will close at 1 p.m. The floors are due for their semi-annual cleaning. We
are so fortunate to be able to keep up on the maintenance of this beautiful building. With proper and continued
upkeep this building can be around to serve our senior citizen population for many years to come.
I want to remind everyone that we will be closed on Monday, May 25th for Memorial Day. I hope everyone has
a safe and beautiful day.
