“Promoting Independent Lifestyles”

Happy New Year!

I don’t know about you, but every year I set some goals to meet in the

new year. Not every goal I set is reached due to whatever setbacks I

may face throughout the year. However, just trying to reach my goals,

makes me a better person along the way and that’s what matters. Goals

can be anything from personal to professional, or even educational.

Maybe you want to travel more (guess what we have a travel club and

trips coming up)! Maybe you want to volunteer more (we would love to

utilize your skills). Maybe you want to exercise more (we have an exer-

cise class everyday). Or maybe you just want to get out and socialize

more with your friends and meet new people (we have you covered)!

One of my goals for this year is to get to know each of you better so the

Evergreens Lifestyle Center is able to provide more services, events

and activities that better fit your needs and interests. Another one of my

goals this year is to make sure that everyone in our community knows

about Evergreens Lifestyle Center and the valuable services we have to

offer. Therefore, if you belong to a church, school, doctors office, fitness

center, bowling league, or other club or community organization in

Greensboro, I want to know. I would love to have the opportunity to

meet with your group so I can make them aware of the resources,

events and activities we have. I want to connect you with our Facebook

page, email, phone, newsletter and our friends!

Now that I have shared a couple of my goals, I would love to hear from

you about your goals. For this new year, what are your goals? How can

Evergreens Lifestyle Center help you achieve your goals? Where there

is a will, there is a way!
