Dear Body Mind Spirit Connection Members,  

Thank you for your outstanding support in 2024-25. With increases in dues and revenues
from our fundraising luncheon, Wrap It Up, we ended the year with $98,000 available for 
the Benevolence Fund benefiting those CC Young residents who have outlived their 
financial resources and CC Young Cares, our food assistance program. We welcomed 21 
new members. Your spirit of kindness and generosity is felt by all. THANK YOU! We 
enthusiastically invite you to join us for the coming year to learn, enjoy fellowship and to 
support our valued senior community. Our combined efforts do make a difference. Please 
encourage a friend to join us in membership. The attached form may be shared for this 
purpose.

The new year will bring interesting program opportunities. Laura Petty, Program Chairman, 
has planned a visit and gourmet box lunch to The Phillips Family Center for Spiritual 
Development for our first meeting on October 13, 2025. This newly opened facility brings 
hope, redemption and reconciliation to those struggling with addictions. Our member, 
Katherine Phillips and her family are significant donors in making this center possible. The 
location is 5324 West Northwest Highway. Andrea Tabor, executive director, will share her 
message of hope and healing in the world of addiction. Time: 11:00 A.M. Dates for our two 
additional meetings are February 23, 2026 and April 20, 2026.

The BMSC Board has adopted the following goals for 2025-26:

•     Foster fellowship opportunities among members to encourage congeniality

•     Increase membership

•     Encourage Wrap It Up table sponsorships at $5,000 and $2,500. Sell out Wrap It Up 14 tables of 10 (Date: November 18,

Please use the attached forms for membership renewal and 2025-26 member opportunities. Thank you in advance for your desire to continue to support with your membership this noble purpose: To support the Benevolence Fund at CC Young and the surrounding community through the CC Young Cares Program while providing fellowship and educational opportunities for its members.

With affection and appreciation,
