From the Executive Director I’ve never been a big fan of New Year’s Resolutions, but 2019 promises to be a fantastic year for The Paradise Center.
As this issue goes to press, we are making great progress on finding our own home. This will enable us to offer the terrific people of our community a wider variety of year-round activities.
In the meantime, we are looking forward to a busy season inside Temple Beth Israel, whose leadership has so generously offered us a temporary home!
Some of our goals for 2019 include trying new things. It’s not only for the purpose of appealing to a wider audience but also because it’s great for brain health. I recently tried Tai Chi for the first time. Wow. In just 10 minutes, I felt both energized and relaxed simultaneously. It’s wonderful!
I hope you’ll join us at The Paradise Center this winter to try a few new things yourself! Happy, healthy 2019 to all.
