CENTER VOLUNTEERS

Mount Juliet Senior Activity Center | 3

NOTE TO ALL MEMBERS: If you are assisting in set-

up or take down of the main room, please be sure that

the table wheels are UNLOCKED before you move the

table. Relock the wheels when the table is in place.

Cologne/Perfume � Please be careful to not “overdo”

your use of fragrances when coming to the Center. We

have several � actually many � folks who are highly

allergic to many fragrances. Please be considerate in

your usage. Thank you!�

Receptionists �Thank you to Colleen Decourval who

joins us as our Thursday afternoon receptionist, and

to Karen Szachnitowski who will be a “floater”. We

still need a permanent Thursday morning receptionist

as well as other “floaters” to cover the desk while our

wonderful receptionists take a break or are ill. Please

see Pat Garrison for more details.�

Kitchen/Cleaning Help�

We could use some additional workers in the kitchen

for preparation, serving and clean up for Monday and

Friday “In�House” Lunches. �

Volunteers are the hear tbeat of an organization

like MJSAC. There is no way that our limited num-

ber of staff could produce the great programs and ac-

tivities that our members enjoy without assistance

from volunteers. Please consider volunteering for any

of the many opportunities available. See the sheets in

the front hallway.�

A warm welcome to Mona Tissue who is our new

Programs & Activities Coordinator. Mona is, of

course, not new to MJSAC as she has been a very

devoted volunteer to the Center. We are happy to

have her on staff!�

FOOD SAFETY TRAINING�

Thank you so much to those below who participated

in the Food Safety Training Course in February. The

training was conducted by Jennifer Udulutch, TN

Department of Health. All will receive a certificate

and be able to aid in the preparation and serving of

food at the Center. �

December! We have now received out first pay-

ment from Amazon Smile. The payment was for

$10.48 which represents $2096 in purchases for

December. (Every little bit counts!)�

AmazonSmile is a website with the same products,

prices, and shopping features as Amazon.com. The

difference is that when you shop on AmazonSmile,

their Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase

price of eligible products to the charitable organi-

zation of your choice. Use it and choose us!�

MJ Ukesters�

Our ukulele group is growing! Come join them on

Fridays at 10:00 a.m. in the Main Room � they

Our Annual Volunteer Appreciate Breakfast will

Most books are available from the Center � ask

Sharon Howard (615�758�9114) for details.�

“The mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation

is to cover service members and veterans

touched by war with comforting and healing

Quilts of Valor.”�

The foundation began in 2003 with a dream of its

Founder Catherine Roberts. Her son was deployed

in Iraq, and she felt that a quilt was the perfect sym-

bol of comfort to him and to others who served our

country. From the beginning, she had definite ideas

about standards of excellence for Quilts of Valor.

Her thoughts:�

I knew a Quilt of Valor had to be a quality�made

quilt, not a “charity quilt.” �A Quilt of Valor had to

be quilted, not tied, which meant hand or machine

quilting. Quilts of Valor would be “awarded,” not

just passed out like magazines or videos. �

A Quilt of Valor would say unequivocally, “Thank

you for your service, sacrifice, and valor” in serv-

ing our nation in combat.�

The first Quilt of Valor was awarded in November

2003 at Walter Reed Army Medical Center to a

young soldier from Minnesota who had lost his leg

in Iraq. �

Since that time, over 212,000 quilts have been

awarded to those who have served our country, and

the Quilters of the Mt. Juliet Senior Activity Center

are very proud to now be an official part of this

unique effort.�

MJSAC “Wish List”

The following came to the Center from Marilyn Wade of GNRC Aging and Disability Services �

please read carefully!�

The Office for Older Americans�is working to provide older consumers and their families with the tools and

information they need to protect themselves from frauds and scams. Scams that target older people occur �

every day. Some of the most popular ones are addressed below:�

�� One common scam known as the imposter or “grandparent scam” might be decorated with a special

plea, a story of a relative in trouble who desperately needs money to fix a car or get out of jail � or get

home.�

�� The ruse known as the IRS scam takes on a vicious new twist with a grinch on the phone threatening an

elder with being arrested and going to jail for unpaid taxes or a fake debt. �

�� There is an increase in false or imposter charities, which sound identical to the real ones. The pitch is

wrapped in sympathy inducing requests for donations. �

These scammers may even scour the internet and social media sites looking for a special connection to your

life, such as a family member or community connection, to get you to trust them so you’ll be willing to part

with your hard�earned money. Here are a few tips:�

�� Before offering your help to someone who claims to be a grandchild (or other relative/friend), be sure to

telephone your family to verify that the emergency or urgent request is genuine.�

�� Beware of a caller who insists on secrecy. Never allow anyone to discourage you from seeking infor-

mation, verification, support and counsel from family members, friends or trusted advisers prior to mak-

ing any financial transaction.�

�� Take the following precautions to make sure your charitable donations benefit the people and organiza-

tions you want to help. If a caller claims to be from an established organization such as a hospital, chari-

ty, or law enforcement agency, look up the number of the organization independently and verify the

claim before sending money.�

�� Ask for detailed information about the charity, including name, address, and telephone number.�

�� Then, call the charity directly. Ask if the organization is aware of the solicitation and has authorized the

use of its name. The organization’s development staff should be able to help you.�

�� If you have received a letter from the IRS stating that you owe taxes, call the IRS directly at 1�800�829�

1040 for information. The IRS will neither call to demand immediate payment, nor call without first

mailing a bill. And, the IRS does not require you to use a specific payment method such as a prepaid

debit card nor will they threaten you with arrest for not paying.�
