December 2019 Newsletter

Director's Thought December brings the realization that we have all been blessed with another year in the golden sun. This year, December 3 holds our most important day of the year for raising funds for our mission that promotes the well-being of a community of dear friends and loved ones. As I complete my first year as Executive Director, I am thankful for all of the moments that we experience with members who enjoy their lives and their community as part of this organization. Thank you, dear readers for your commitment to Goldensun, your patience as a new staff team forms, and as we continue the amazing service, cheerfully given everyday to a great group of people who call Goldensun "home". This month's newsletter contains several reasons why your support on #GivingTuesday 12/3/19 is important. Donate at ww w.https://goldensunonline.org/donate Matt Sandoval, Executive Director
