55 & Beyond: Joslyn and Tuttle March Newsletter

SPRING IS AROUND THE CORNER! Before we know it, warmer weather and longer days will be upon us. Spring is the time for new beginnings. The energy of spring can help remind us that we can always start again on our goals and plans. We are here to help you achieve those goals, whether it is exercising more or learning a new hobby. Check our activity schedule to see what Joslyn and Tuttle offer.

We would like to once again thank the Burbank Rotary Club for hosting the Young At Heart event in February.

Rat Pack Ricky and Elvis put on an amazing performance.

We were all excited to bring a big event back to Joslyn.

Hopefully this is the first of many more to come.

We are working with Welbe Health to bring arts & crafts events to Joslyn. This month they will be hosting a Wreath Making Event on Tuesday, March 15. Contact Joslyn to RSVP 818.238.5353.

Remember to spring forward on Sunday, March 13. Set your clocks one hour ahead before going to bed Saturday night.

We hope you have a wonderful start to spring!
