First, let me be sure to let everyone know that our Young @ Heart program is open to anyone of retirement ages. If this means you, please feel free to join us any month. Most months, we meet at 11AM on the 2nd Tuesday for a program then have our luncheon at noon. Programs vary but include Music, Magicians, Ventriloquist, Juggler, Special Personalities (Mark Twain will join us soon) and Speakers. Contact our office or let me know, if you are interested in joining us for a program. Browse this blog for a good idea of the broad range of our programs.
This month, we had a special presentation from the Miami Valley Women’s Center. However, after our normal opening (jokes, birthdays, and anniversaries) we had a special music number by Christina Comer. 
Christina is a special friend for Y@H and is a singer that our people really enjoy hearing. I think they would often prefer her rather than some of our paid performers. Maybe we should have her do a full concert for us sometime. What do you think?

Following Christina we heard from several of the staff from the Miami Valley Women’s Center (MVWC).
Nancy Jensen is the Medical Services and Clinic Director at the center and she led off with a short talk about the mission of the center then introduced the other speakers.
Brad Berlean is the director for the Men’s Programs. He followed Nancy and spoke about the services and programs that MVWC offer to the boyfriends and husbands of their clients. This is an important program to be sure that these men become good fathers and spouses.
Finally, following Brad, we heard from Tiffany Siefman who directs the women’s programs. As with the men’s program the goal is to support women in the role of mom and spouse.
You can hear the program, HERE.
Nancy finished with the introduction of the Baby Bottle program that we’ve done here at Young @ Heart for a couple of years. Several of you have been asking when we would do this again and one even brought in a bottle of change in case he missed an opportunity. So we offered the bottles again to anyone who wants one. Fill them with your loose change and bring them back, next month. The center depends entirely on donations and gifts from people just like us. They do not accept federal funds so that they can operate as a Faith Based program.
