This year, Random Acts of Kindness week begins on Valentine’s Day - a day we traditionally celebrate the love we have for our partners, families, and friends. This year we face the challenge of finding new and innovative ways to show kindness to those we know and love, in addition to those we have never met before.

We all can find ways to show kindness, no matter what our circumstances are. During COVID, you may consider writing notes of encouragement, making donations to organizations that help others, and calling friends that need a pick-me-up. We would love to hear how you plan to celebrate Random Acts of Kindness this month!

Our team is still working to find new ways to connect. In December, we launched Phone Pals, a program where volunteers make regular phone calls to home-bound seniors. If you are interested in becoming a Phone Pals volunteer, or are interested in receiving calls from a volunteer, please contact the Joslyn Center.

On February 24, we are hosting our FREE monthly Bingo game sponsored by Regal Medical Group. Be sure to RSVP to reserve your spot and get your card.

If you are interested in trying one of our Virtual Activities, a member of our team will be happy to help you get started. A full list of activities are listed in this newsletter.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
