Turner Programs and Activities for Seniors
January – August, 2013
One of the most satisfying parts of being involved with Turner Senior Resource
Center (TSRC) is hearing visitors say things like, “I had no idea you offered
all this; I want to do everything,” or, “This would be great for my mother!”
Meeting the community’s need for activities, information, resources and
support that enhance quality of life for older adults and their families is central
to our mission. As staff, we have many ideas about how to provide that good
“fit.” But equally, if not more, important are your ideas. Do you have a
suggestion for a computer class or a cooking demonstration? Are there health
and wellness issues on which you think TSRC should have more information? Can you think of a
topic for our Healthy Living Presentation series that might have wide appeal?
Here are ways to help shape how TSRC responds to our community:
· Complete an upcoming satisfaction questionnaire in early 2013
· Consider joining the TSRC Advisory Board
· Drop in to share your ideas in person or send me an email
· If you’re a patient at Turner Geriatric Clinic, consider sharing your experiences with the Turner
Clinic Patient Advisory Board

And if you’d like to help raise awareness and funds for TSRC and the other four UM older adult
programs, join or support our Big Hearts for Seniors team. We will participate in the Big House
Big Heart run/walk on April 14, 2013. It’s a lot of fun and helps us to provide the programming in this
newsletter at low or no cost to all who are interested.
Involvement is the name of the game. We welcome yours - always!
