TENNIS SOCIAL CLUB
by Sharon Dorfman
Hello fellow Palm Greeners.
As we all approach the beautiful
holidays, the greatest gift you can give
someone is the gift of love and acceptance. As human
beings we all need to be loved and accepted. With
someone in our corner we feel that nothing is impossible.
No matter how you participate in the holiday
celebrations, a kind word is always needed. You can
criticize someone but always in a gentle, kind and
politely positive manner.
In closing I wish you all a very healthy holiday
season and a joyous new year.December 2020 11

WE CARE
As the name of our organization implies
we care for our friends and neighbors in Palm
Greens to make sure that all their needs for
being healthy are being taken care of.
We transport our residents and their guests
to medical facilities, and we provide walkers,
canes, and wheelchairs when they are in need.
To be able to do all that we have to do for
our resident and their guests, we always are in
need of volunteers. Without volunteers, any
organization would have to hire people to do
the job that is done now in Palm Greens.
Palm Greens is very fortunate that there
are many volunteer that staff all our clubs, and
staff our boards and they do so without any
compensation, otherwise if we have to pay for
this kind of service that the volunteers do, our
maintenance would be triple what it is today.
In case any residents are in need of our
servicers, please call 495-0878 which is
monitored by one of our volunteers who gives
the information to another volunteer.
Please give us 24 hours and leave your
name and a telephone number where we can
reach you.20 Palm Greens Pulse
