Welcome to a New Year!

Thanks to everyone who has responded so generously to the year-end appeal. The ongoing support of individuals makes the Hollywood Senior Center’s work possible. If you have not yet given, please know you still can. I hope that you will give what you can today so we can continue to offer our high level of services and programs.

Many of us make “Resolutions” this time of year.  One of my favorite New Year quotes is from Oprah Winfrey who said,“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.” 

Do you make New Year’s resolutions? Do they have to do with eating better and/ or exercising more? Perhaps your goals are to reconnect with old friends or develop new friendships? Maybe you are interested in taking up a new hobby or spending more time doing a current one? The Hollywood Senior Center may be just the place for you to act on your 2012 resolutions! 

The Hollywood Senior Center has also made some resolutions (or goals) for 2012 including:

• Successful expansion of services in North Portland through the N/NE Consortium. This month we begin providing case management, information and assistance, classes and activities in North Portland. Please see page 6 for more information and office hours in North Portland.
• Expanding our outreach efforts to raise our visibility in the community and to build a broad public awareness of the needs and personal opportunities to support senior services.
• Developing a formalized plan to target and engage volunteers age 50+ who are looking for meaningful and collaborative volunteer opportunities.
• Assessing and determining the needs of participants and clients to provide programs and services that address those needs through listening sessions in N/NE Portland.

Looking forward to the coming year and seeing you soon.   -Amber
