Happy Everything!
“Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.” ~H. Jackson Brown Jr.
Our office has been flooded with lovely cards, boxes of chocolates, and handwritten notes from clients and volunteers this holiday season. These thoughtful gestures remind us that the messages of love, happiness, compassion, and peace of this special time of year are ones that our volunteers work hard to instill in our programs every day. No carefully wrapped packages are necessary; they bring joy into the lives of seniors by giving the gift of their time.

| Once again, 85-year-old Meyer Caplan sent us creative drawings and humorous quips of holiday cheer! |
Whatever your faith background, we wish you happy holidays from all of us at Senior Services’ Transportation Program! The holiday season is made much brighter by your resounding spirit of generosity.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Meyer Caplan, the 85-year-old Volunteer Transportation client who often sends us festive holiday greetings (as detailed on the Halloween blog entry found here) sent us incredible Thanksgiving posters. We'd like to share them with you here and extend his lovely (and funny) messages to all of you:
 |
| The cheery poster-sized cards are displayed prominently on our office filing cabinet. |
The typed poem reads,
"May you have hope in the joy of Thanksgiving
A Heart filled with peace and contentment
Love that will fill empty places
And happiness that makes your heart smile."
The bear holds a heart that says, "Thanks for the rides!"
 |
| Humor can be found in both posters. In the page with the male pilgrim, the turkey declares, "Wouldn't you rather have roast beef this year?" In the page with female pilgrim, Tweety Bird recites the following joke: "What key has legs and can open doors? ... A turkey!" |
We hope that you enjoy Meyer's artwork as much as we do.
On this special day that reminds us of the many blessings in our lives, we GIVE THANKS for all of the amazing volunteers, staff, and clients who make Senior Services Transportation Program so wonderful!

Happy holidays!
In this cold and dark time of year, our office is made much brighter by the many cards we've received from thoughtful clients and volunteers of our programs! Whether cute, clever, fun, and/or sentimental, they certainly bring us much joy.
Whomever you are and whatever holidays you celebrate, we at Senior Services' Transportation Program wish you this same uplifting good cheer-- now and always!
