Hello Young at Heart Friends and Family;
So did March come in like a Lion or a Lamb? Both or Neither??? I am not sure which I would pick, but I do know I appreciate the sunny days!
This week kicks off an upcoming busy month at YAH. Linked are a few flyers that highlight all the special events aimed at improving our mental, emotional and physical health.
- A MATTER OF SAFETY highlights a visit by Michael Curtis from the GR Fire Dept, and Andrew Smith from the GR Police Dept; a presentation on Mental Health Services from Reliance Integrated Wellness Center, a two-part series on Dementia, and a presentation by Disabilty Advocates.
- A MATTER OF GROWTH AND STIMULATION highlights a two-part series on The History of Michigan, Lenten Reflections and St. Patrick’s Activities.
- PAINTING BOWLS FOR SOUPS ON! join the fun of painting a bowl, mug or plate… keep it or donate it to God’s Kitchen!
- WHAT’S HAPPENIN’ AT YAH is an opportunity to get a picture of the status of YAH, the success of 2025 and the goals for 2026. Come, listen, ask questions, and share your ideas for a successful 2026!
DONATIONS:
- The Sewing Club is asking for donations of polyfill as they prepare to give stuffed toys/ teddy bears to the GR Fire and Police Departments, and prepare for our Mother’s Day and Fathers Day Showers this Spring.
- Young at Heart sends appproximately 45 homemade cards nine times a year to homebound individuals, as well as sends out approximately 25 Birthday cards each month. We are always in need of stamps.
- With spring in the air, it’s a great time to clean out your closets, basements, and garages! The bi-annual 2nd Best Sale is collecting donations for the May rummage sale. If you have any items from your home that are gently used and could be a treasure for someone else, bring it in on a Monday or Wednesday, and we can take it down to storage for you to contribute to the church fundraiser.
AROUND TOWN:
Jean’s neice will be at YAH on Wednesday, March 18 to sell Girl Scout Cookies. More information next week.
Hoping to see you soon as we look forward to Spring!
