A Lighter Note
There once was a man and a
woman who had been
married for more than 60
years. They talked about
everything. They kept no
secrets from each other...
except that the old woman
had a shoe box in the top of
her closet that she cautioned
her husband never to open it
or ask her about it.
For all these years he had
never thought about the box,
but one day the little old
woman got very sick and the
doctor said she would never
recover.
In trying to sort out their
affairs the little old man took
down the shoe box and took it
to his wife's bedside. She
agreed it was time that he
should know what was in the
box.
When he opened it he found 2
beautifully crocheted doilies
and a stack of money totaling
over $25,000. He asked her
about the unusual contents.
"When we were married," she
said, " my grandmother told
me the secret of a happy
marriage was to never argue.
She told me that if I ever got
angry with you, I should just
keep quiet and crochet a
doily."

OUR STAFF
By: Mary White
A few years ago, I did a series of biographical articles to get us acquainted
with our staff. It’s time to do the same for the staff that have been added in
recent years.
ERIN GARLINGHOUUSE
Erin has worked at the center for almost three years. She was assigned to the
center by Senior Services of America who are contracted by the government to
place seniors in appropriate work places. Erin’s salary is also paid under that
contract. When I asked her wat her job title is , she laughed and said “Trenda’s
Gopher”. Erin has many duties and does whatever is requested of her with a
happy attitude and unending energy, that’s why I call her our energizer bunny.
Erin was born in Butte, Montana, the oldest child of the fifth generation of a
Butte family. She spent her entire life in Montana except when she traveled
from Butte to Virginia to Alaska and back to Butte with her husband. She has
two sons ages 50 & 46.
She graduated from the University of Montana at Missoula and was a Social
Worker for 30 years until she retired. After her husband passed away, her
children urged her to relocate to Thermopolis because her sister, who is also a
widow and lives here. She enjoys Thermopolis, but Butte will always be her
home & in her heart.
She enjoys everything & everyone at the center. She loves meeting & enjoying
so many people. Her favorite activities after going on excursions with us and
listening to the stories everyone tells about their families & the history of
Thermopolis.
When asked why she is so happy and upbeat, she gave a simple answer “It’s be-
cause Life needs to be happy.
Jackrabbit Java! There will be a drawing toward the
end of the month for Jackrabbit java
merchandise. They will be different

Center to enter. Below is an example

Our Vision
Our vision is to preserve, enhance and stabi-
lize the quality of senior life, to maintain dig-nity and independence for older adults and to
promote a community in which we all age
well.

Provide a variety of activities, services and opportunities for participation, learning and
socialization to older individuals to help
them retain their personal skills and diminish stress to help them remain independent in
their own homes and communities for as
long as safely possible thereby reducing the financial and emotional burdens to their
loved ones and the state.
