This time of year we reflect on all that has passed, and welcome the newness of the year to come. It’s probably safe to say that 2020 was not the year any of us anticipated. It was a year full of surprising challenges. As we enter 2021, we know that these challenges are not completely behind us, but we are hopeful for things to come in the new year. Our team looks forward to the day that we can reopen the doors at Joslyn and begin in-person activities again. In the meantime, we remember that though we may be physically distanced, we are still connected. Our team at Joslyn continues to offer FREE virtual activities, including exercise classes, and monthly Bingo. In December, our team launched a new volunteer program called Phone Pals. This program pairs seniors in need of telephone companionship with a volunteer that regularly calls and checks in with them. If you are interested in either volunteering to be a Phone Pal, or in receiving these phone calls, please contact Joslyn Adult Center. We will continue to get through this time together. Our team at Joslyn is committed to creating new ways to keep us connected. Please do not hesitate to give us a call if you have new ideas for virtual activities! Happy New Year!
