From the desk of the Director…

Happy New Year! Here is to 2018! I wanted to give you a few updates of the “goings on” here at the Center.

1. Thank you to everyone who has sent in their donations for our annual Mail Appeal. Your support for our programs and services are invaluable to RCAC.

We have begun listing the donations in this newsletter. 2. Make sure you check out the newsletter for some new classes and events

starting in January, including Yoga Lite. 3. Also check out the back of the newsletter for some exciting things coming in

February! 4. Last, remember as the days get colder to bring a sweater with you if you get

cold easily. We keep the building at 70 degrees but sometimes it can be a little drafty.

Have a great January!
