I wanted to send a note as I noticed that those interested in participating need to respond by next Friday.....So in case you didn't catch this in the weekly announcements. Happy New Year! James *Partnering (again) with Wish of a Lifetime to Become Part of the Cupid Crew!* We are very excited to share that we are partnering once again with *Wish of a Lifetime *, a non-profit organization that grants wishes to seniors over the age of 65. The organization was founded in 2008 in order to honor seniors, tell their amazing stories, and reduce their experience of isolation. To date, they have granted almost 2000 wishes (*one in partnership with us as part of our #WishPossible campaign in 2015*) and continue to work to change the aging experience for the better. Aside from granting wishes, Wish of a Lifetime organizes special activities throughout the year to bring generations together around honoring isolated seniors. Their most popular event, *Cupid Crew*, started on Valentine's Day 2013 in Denver, Colorado. Wish of a Lifetime staff came together to deliver roses to seniors in the Denver area in the hopes to brighten the moods of people who feel especially isolated on Valentine's Day. Since then, this concept has spread nationwide. *Check out their video and learn how your office can be part of the hype.* Wish of a Lifetime is incredibly honored to be partnering with Home Care Assistance to bring their event to our communities.
