Hello Young at Heart Friends and Family;
Each Fall YAH asks participants to complete a survey, assessing your satisfaction with the programming, if it continues to help you have a safer and healthier life, and give you a chance to share your thoughts, suggestions, or other comments. I wanted to share with you the outcomes based on the 77 responses we received:
- 97% stated they are satisfied with the programming
- 84% stated it has improved their physical health
- 75% stated it has helped them gain new skills
- 73% stated it helps you get out of the house
- 82% stated it helps them socialize more
- 99% of you agreed that the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly
- 6% identified a conflict as sometimes classes of interest overlap.
Thank you to all who completed a survey. We are open to your ideas, suggestions, feedback all year long.

Speaking of sharing stories, feeling connected, growing and feeling grateful, come join us for VOICES of VALOR. This will be a powerful and moving event as veterans share their personal experiences from serving during times of war. These are real stories—often difficult to tell and sometimes hard to hear—spoken in their own words. in their own words. This is a rare opportunity to witness the strength, courage, and sacrifice behind the uniform. Some veterans will also share personal photos to help bring their stories to life. COME LISTEN, HONOR and REMEMBER. COME AND THANK THEM !
Growing Together!
