Welcome
Wishing all our members and their loved ones a Happy and Healthy 2023!
As your new President, I would like to thank the new and returning Board members for volunteering their time, expertise and for their commitment to the Senior Center and our mission. Without volunteers, we would not be able to organize special events, programs, and activities.
A special thank you to our former President, Dick McCann, for his many years of leadership and his dedication to the goals of the Center. Thank you also, to the former Board Members, Howard Rosenblum and Jeanne Green who recently retired after serving for many years.
We are planning many activities, trips, and special presentations for 2023. If you have special interests, please feel free to offer suggestions to any Board Member, the office staff, or use the Suggestion Box in the Great Room. We want to hear from you. It is your organization.
Memberships for 2023 are being accepted. Please remember to renew your membership if you have not already. Encourage a friend who doesn’t belong to join with you and enjoy our programs together. Renewal forms are available at the Center or on our website.
Thank you for your allowing me to be your President this year. If you wish to contact me, please call the Center. If I am not there, I will return your call. You may also email me at sbrzoska@umssc.org. Looking forward to seeing you at the Center in 2023.
Sharon Brzoska, President
