Let the Flowers Bloom

Hello Young at Heart Friends and Family;

The beautiful sun has brought a renewed belief that Spring is right around the corner. As the crocus peek through, I already have “Snowdrops” and “Lenten Rose” Helleborus blooming in my yard!!! 

Sometimes, when YAH starts a new class, program or series, I think of it as a flower, poking through the dirt, hopeful, but unsure of what elements lay ahead during its short existence. Will it be appreciated in its natural state; or passed on as a cut flower to be gifted for another to enjoy? Will it enjoy a singular existence or become a part of a bouquet or field of beauty? Right now, with Yoga starting, The Computer Literacy Workshop starting, Line Dancing starting next month, as well as our regular programming, it feels like a beautiful bouquet. I hope you will be able to join at least a part of this beautiful arrangement and become a part of the garden. I hope you can grow and flourish in whatever the classes/ YAH Program has to offer you.

This week Wednesday at 12:45 starts Yoga and next week Wednesday at 1:30 starts the Technology Literacy Workshops... Please RSVP for the Workshops as soon as possible so we can plan for proper spacing.

Next week, Monday, March 13th is our monthly Cooking Class. The Ginger Chef’s menu will focus on Sheet Pan Dinners for Two. RSVP by this week Friday, March 10th. Cost is $5.00.

Next week, Wednesday, March 15th is also our monthly Birthday Brunch. If you see any of the following people, be sure to wish them a HaPpY BiRtHDaY!!!  Mike Chatel, Alicia Damulakias, Barb Fischer, John Foley, Johnnie Johnson, Lisa Kraemer, Beth Krueger, Connie Kukla, Melissa Kuks, Darla Palazzolo, Br.
