Dear Friends,
February is American Heart Month. We are partnering with the Red Wing YMCA and Southeast Tech to bring education and awareness at the Senior Center. Friday, February 3rd is National Wear Red Day. Join us in wearing red to
show support in the fight against heart disease in women.
The American Queen is coming back! When my husband Mark saw a flyer nearly a year ago about the Great American Steamboat Company intending to refurbish the American Queen and get her back on the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, the first thing he said was, “We’re going.”
Detailed itineraries are available at the Senior Center for the three trips RWAS is offering. Or you may download a copy. Mark and I will be going on one of the trips. We just haven’t decided which one. They all look good!
The Gold Guys will be holding a “Gold Party” for us on Thursday, April 5 at Bella Casa Interiors. Be on the lookout for your broken or unwanted gold, silver, or platinum jewelry; sterling flatware; dental gold; and old coins. The Gold Guys will assess your items and immediately write you check if you decide to sell. Watch for more information.
We lease space in the Fairview Red Wing Professional and Community Center for our Senior Center. We pay for our lease, not with money, (which would be tens of thousands of dollars each year!) but by having volunteers provide the equivalent hours of three full-time workers. The volunteers who work in our Cookie Jar provide one-third of the required hours. The Courtesy Parkers at the medical center provide the other two-thirds.
Finding more people to help with courtesy parking is critical right now. We simply do not have enough people to fulfill our obligation to Fairview. Scheduling is extremely difficult and has put unfair responsibility on the volunteers already helping. Please help if you can. Working just one 4-hour shift each month, with a friend or spouse, would help tremendously.
Special thanks to Duane Lund and all the Courtesy Parkers who have volunteered over the past 10 years. In all kinds of weather we have been able to depend on your commitment. From all of us we offer a HUGE thank you!
Nancy Swanson, Executive Director
