Tucson, Arizona | Published: 12.14.2007

The wishes of a dozen seniors at one Midtown elder-care center were achingly simple when volunteers asked a few weeks ago what one thing would make them the happiest.

Helen Phillips, 88, settled immediately on a manicure and a new dress for Christmas. The perfect dress would be blue or green, with a touch of white on the collar or sleeve. "That's class," she explained.

Leo Ross, 85, wanted a coat because his two sweaters weren't keeping out the chill.

Diner Unexpected Thank You (DUTY) Program
  Published 01/2/2008 (820 reads)


Twilight Wish is pleased to introduce this program designed to directly involve the community in reaching out and thanking deserving seniors.

We feel it is our duty to honor and respect our elders in their twilight years, so we have created our Diner Unexpected Thank You (DUTY) program.

Based on founder Cass Forkin’s personal experience and her reason for founding Twilight Wish Foundation in 2003, this pilot program is designed to spontaneously thank a senior for all they have done for others by treating them to a meal.

“How to Stay Young”
Published 08/13/2007 (171 reads)

Written By: Helen Hunter, ACSW, CMSW

Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

Keep learning. Learn more about computers, crafts, gardening or anything else that you always wanted to learn, but never had the time for when you were busy working and raising a family. Never let the brain idle.
