Notes from our Executive Director
When looking at meaningful events in August, I
learned that August is “What Will Be Your Legacy
Month”. As I pondered the word “legacy” I did
a little research. The Oxford dictionary says that
legacy has two common definitions; 1. A gift by
will, especially of money or personal property.
2. Something handed down or received from an
ancestor or predecessor.
As I look back at those close to me who have
passed before me; I realize that the customs
and traditions, relationships and memories have
meant more to me than any inheritance ever
could. My father’s legacy is not one of riches to
be bestowed on his daughters, but one of service,
generosity, and living life to the fullest every day.
Birthday Bash
Like Us!
I wish so much more for my own children, than
fat bank accounts and property in their name. I
wish to leave a legacy of servitude, generosity,
and a genuine caring for people.
So, in honor of August, take a moment to think
about “What Will Be Your Legacy”.
I love this quote by Shannon Alder,
“Carve your name on hearts, not
tombstones. A legacy is etched into
the minds of others and the stories
they share about you.”
Banana Split Gala

Come and get into the groove and get your
creative juices flowing. On Monday, August
11th at 1:00 pm during Kathy’s Craft Corner
you will be making your tie dyed shirts
for this fun event. Then wear them or just
bring them along to Happy Hour on Friday,
August 15th at 3:00pm. Larry will be
entertaining us in the Gathering Place and
it should be a great time!
