Irish recipe for longevity Leave the table hungry Leave the bed sleepy Leave the bar thirsty
Well I've been using a shillelagh for the past few years. I use it mainly for balance and to keep me from falling on my face. I'm not really Irish so I best call it a cane. Whatever you call it I need it in my life for stability, security, safety and peace of mind.
Happy Easter - Christ has Risen - Alleluia
The above paragraph is about my physical health and my cane. My spiritual life is also dependent on balance , on keeping me from falling on my face (sin), and for stability and security. My spiritual cane is the Cross and Jesus. This brings me spiritual stability, security, strength, peace and happiness.
Easter brings us the everlasting gift of Life. May the Hope and Promise of this time of new beginnings be a source of joy and inspiration for all of you.
Love, Delores

Thoughts from Your Advisory Board President
Are you satisfied with only 11 people making
decisions for all the activities you are involved?
Do you have concerns about the future? If so, do
you have suggestions for improvement?
Are there any activities you would like to see offered?
Do you have talents you would like to share with your
friends here at Northwest?
If you feel you would like to assist in the running of
YOUR center, or if you know anyone you feel would
put "life" into Your center, perhaps by becoming an
Advisory Board Member, please contact any current
Board member.
I realize it is a while until the next Board elections, but
please keep these thoughts in mind because the
center is here for your benefit and enjoyment and
cannot continue without your assistance and
cooperation.
Most sincerely,
Al Judd
