Amy's 60th Birthday Celebration
For Amy’s 60th birthday, the McKenna seniors surprised her in the most heartfelt way. We arrived for our annual Halloween lunch and were met with festive birthday décor, a beautiful cake, and an outpouring of love from the entire center. As the owner of the Friends for Life brand, Amy was genuinely touched—and it was a moment that perfectly captured the special bond we share with the seniors we serve.

We spent a heartwarming afternoon with the St. Rose Sunshine Group, serving a delicious Thanksgiving lunch and sharing meaningful moments together. After everyone was served, we went around the room and asked each senior what they were thankful for this year. Their answers were thoughtful, moving, and full of gratitude—reminding us how special it is to come together, share a meal, and celebrate the spirit of Thanksgiving as a community.

We wrapped up the season at Tanner Park with a cheerful end-of-season BBQ, where we sponsored a delicious lunch for all the seniors. It was the perfect chance to spend time together outdoors, enjoy the fresh air, and soak up the last bit of warm weather before the chilly months set in.

Seminars
Many of our local senior centers love to host seminars with our owner, Amy, every couple of months. These sessions are designed to refresh their memory on important safety topics as they grow older and to guide them through the many different ways they can navigate this stage of life with confidence. The seminars are always engaging, comforting, and empowering—giving seniors the knowledge and reassurance they deserve.
