30 minutes of dancing burns 200-400 calories

Improves heart health; endurance; lung capacity

never by the leaves

that fall,

Count your days

by golden hours,

Don’t remember clouds

Count your nights

Count your years

with smiles, not tears,

Count your blessings,

not your troubles,

Count your age

by friends,

not years!

Want to be a Greeter?

Although the Towers is a great place to call home, moving in can often be bewildering. So many questions arise: How can I be rid of all these boxes, I need a light bulb in the bathroom, What time is food available?

How nice it is when a Floor Greeter says, “Hello, welcome to the Towers” and supplies answers to some of your questions. Can you be that welcoming greeter? This is a wonderful way to become involved, meet new residents, and also help your community.

Jayne Provost at (210) 870– 8720 will gladly provide you with for more information.
