Happy Monday Morning!

 
I have some big news for you this morning! Have you been to our website lately? If not, it’s time to give it a visit. The whole thing has been redone and it looks pretty slick. We’ve added a lot more functionality as well, including being able to sign up for membership, sponsor a member, and make donations, which brings me to the most exciting part!!
 
In honor of our new website being live, we are running a little contest. The first 10 people to donate through our website between now and noon tomorrow (5/23) will be entered to win 1 free membership! Visit www.generationsic.org to donate and enter the contest. Even if your membership doesn’t come due soon, that’s OK. We can hold on to it until you need it. So, on your marks, get set, DONATE!!
 
And as if that wasn’t enough, I have even MORE exciting news to share! The Generations Supper Club is shaking things up a bit this month. For the first time ever, Pic A Deli will be our host! That’s right, we are going to hold Supper Club right here at Generations. Bonus: yours truly will be on the wait staff (along with Joa and Emily). June’s Supper Club will take place on Monday, June 26th at 5:00pm. You will need to RSVP with your meal choice by Friday, June 16th if you are interested in joining. We are really excited for this one and can’t wait to show off Dave’s cooking skill! Check the flyer for meal options.

Wednesday, May 24th, 1:00pm – Embrace Care Management Presentation: Mixed Emotions and Changing Roles Many seniors voice feelings of frustration and resentment over current communication with their adult children, while adult children voice feelings of apprehension and sadness.

Friday, June 2nd, 11:00am – Fireside Chat with Greg We are holding another general discussion with our Executive Director, Greg. Similar to last time, he will have a few things to bring up to you all, but then the floor is yours! Ask questions, get clarification, make suggestions, or whatever comes to mind. We look forward to a friendly and informative discussion. Let us know if you plan to come so we have enough chairs set out.

That’s all I have for you today. Have a great week and a nice Memorial Day weekend!
