Greetings, Bugbee! I always try to remind myself during mud season that April showers bring May flowers… I’ve always appreciated the optimism in that saying!
April brings more than just rain, it is also Volunteer Appreciation Month! Join me in giving a big THANK YOU to all the crew who keep Bugbee moving. This place is a true community effort. To our Meals on Wheels drivers, wait staff, receptionists, Bulletin folders, activity leaders, trip chaperones, bingo callers, kitchen helpers, board members, gardeners, and everyone else who chips in when they can: you are a meaningful and essential part of Bugbee’s commitment to service.
This month, we are also kicking off our 50th anniversary celebrations! Bugbee is operated by White River Council on Aging, and we formally incorporated way back in April of 1976. We are looking forward to commemorating all the participants, volunteers, staff, and supporters from the past five decades. Their legacy – and in many cases, their continued participation! – has helped create a strong Bugbee community today.
I hope to see you all around! Looking forward to celebrating all the people who brought us to where we are now, and all the people who will be joining us down the line. Happy spring.
Mark Bradley
Executive Director
