Many thanks to all of our supporters, board members, staff members (Audrey Bolek, Keneshia Sweet and Tina O’Brien), participants, and families. Mindful Care invites you to visit the program – These photos show the loving kindness that wraps around our participants and

helps them continue to live a fulfilling life.

Remembering Mother Goose (1935 – 2019)

“We thought of you in love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday and days before

that, too. We think of you in silence, we often speak your name. Now all we have is memories and your

picture in frame. Your memory is our keepsake, with which we’ll never part. God has you in his keeping; we

have you in our hearts.”

“Mother Goose” was a participant in Mindful Care since October 2017. She was an incredible woman who spread lots of love and smiles. We will forever

love and remember her.

Happy 89th Birthday Clemmie Lewis!

Happy Birthday, Clem, one year closer to 100!

Special Thanks

Tina Tina O’Brien, thank you for being so passionate and caring about the well-

being of so many to start such a needed and appreciated program. You have been a great teacher, mentor, leader and boss – all rolled into one.

You have guided us along the way, and you have treated us like true friends. You have instilled into the program such values as determination,

tolerance, equity, kindness, honesty, patience, and professionalism. As you enter retirement, we pray that God will continue to grant you sound health, mercy and many blessings. While you bid farewell to us, please know that your legacy will remain in our hearts. On behalf of the board

and staff, we wish you good luck and success in your new life. Stay blessed!

We all here at Mindful Care would like to give a special Thank You to our former

Activity Assistant, Caryl Henley and Executive Director , Tina O Brien

Caryl- We truly hate to see you go and will forever miss you. Goodbyes are never easy. No words can say it all. But it has been an honor working with such a wonderful colleague. Thank you for your love, support, help and kindness. You are in our prayers, and we wish you the best! Take care of yourself, we all love you dearly!!

A Message from the Board President, Tom Tozer

“Albert Schweitzer, medical missionary and theologian, once said, “The purpose of human life is to serve and to show compassion and the will

to help others.” We think Schweitzer would have appreciated the name of our service program, “Mindful Care.” To our donors, it is your moral and financial support

that allows us to provide Mindful Care to our participants through love and compassion. Thank you to all of you who show your own mindful care through your financial gifts. Please visit mindful-

care.org and find out how many ways you can donate. We appreciate you and are grateful to

you.”

Inclement Weather Reminder:

Mindful Care is committed to the safety and security of its participants, staff, and volunteers. As such, the decision to cancel, close or postpone the program is based on the overall concern for the safety and security of the

program’s community. Therefore, in the event of inclement weather, the threat of inclement weather or natural disasters such as tornados, and flooding Mindful Care will follow Rutherford COUNTY closings/delays.

Below are three ways Rutherford County Schools use to announce closure or delay:

https://www.wsmv.com/weather/closings/ , https://www.wgnsradio.com ,

WGNS News Radio AM 1450, FM 100.5, FM 101.9

If a message about closure or delay in regards to inclement weather is not posted on at least one of these outlets, Mindful Care will be open from 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
