Greetings,

The Olympics are in full swing and as the opening ceremony demonstrated, people of all nations can get along (at least for a brief time) and share a common goal—to do their very best. I have been fascinated with the Olympics since I was little and dreamed of competing, and I try to share that passion with my family. I think that we can take a lesson from the Olympic ideal and apply it right here at SourcePoint. Each of our members brings value and skill to the organization and it is up to the staff to find ways to let those values shine through in order to benefit everyone.

Jonell and her team have put together some fun, new activities as part of the break between program sessions including:  Cardio Kickboxing, Functional Fitness, Individual Circuit, and Aqua Yoga. For more information, contact Jonell.

NEW! SourcePoint is proud to offer financial scholarships enabling those with modest incomes to participate in our enrichment center activities. This assistance can be used to help cover the cost of an annual SourcePoint membership, as well as class, program, or activity fees. The initial funding for this program was provided largely by donors to our 2015 annual campaign. Scholarships will be awarded on an ongoing basis as long as funds are available. Applications can be picked up at the customer service desk and funds will be awarded beginning in September.

Good news for our members! Lunch at Studio 60 is now available to all Delaware County diners ages 55 and older on a donation basis.

As always, please share your suggestions and concerns to anyone on the staff, or you can reach me directly by email or (740) 203-2405.

Have a great week!

Steve Gorman, Enrichment Center Director
