Happy Older Americans Month! Every May, we recognize older Americans’ contributions and reaffirm our commitment to serving older adults. This month’s calendar is packed with fun and useful programs and activities. The way I look at it: here at Bugbee we celebrate older adults every month.
Thank you all for helping to kick off our 50th anniversary celebrations. Bugbee is in good shape today and hopefully will be for at least another 50 years! I hope you might consider buying a 50/50/50 raffle ticket, making an extra contribution to the Future Fund, or help out in another way. The future of our programs and meals is far from certain, but I know we will be ok because I see you helping each other every day.
Later this summer we’ll start sharing some more media from the past. We’ve got a bunch of old slides and reel to reel tapes sent off to Kodak for professional digitization. I’m very curious to learn what is on the reel to reel tapes. We do have a gap in our collection from the late 90s to the early 2000s, so if you have any old photos you’d like to share, let me know!
Cheers to a fun and busy May at Bugbee! See you for pickleball…or foot clinic…or for one of the music events…or Mother’s Day Lunch…or the Spring Vaccine Clinic…or the downtown Thrift Crawl…or painting class…or rowing class. A lot of variety this month!
