We will work with SPC to sort out the WIFI issue this week.

Subject: Living Well Club moving to Somerset Presbyterian Church, 100 JFK Blvd, Somerset NJ

“There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:

  a time to be born and a time to die,
  a time to plant and a time to uproot, ……………
   ……………………..” Ecclesiastes 3:1–8

It is time for Living Well Club to move to a different location for our weekly gathering and to be a self-supporting community too. We will start our weekly Wednesday gathering on March 1, 2017 at Somerset Presbyterian Church (SPC), 100 John F Kennedy Blvd, Somerset, NJ 08873.

The Club will continue promoting social interaction and good-fellowship among retirees of Taiwanese Americans (TA) in New Jersey as well as providing activities of learning, playing, sharing, and volunteering in services for this community. So participants could stay mentally and physically active and daily lives be enriched. As in the past, the Club welcomes any TA retiree who wishes to come to the weekly gathering. The expectation is that each of us would share the costs of operation which is about $12,000 for the year of 2017 through donation. We are grateful for the strong and generous support from many of you over the years.

What a coincident that we will start the next chapter of our journey on March 1, Ash Wednesday, a church liturgical holiday. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a season of fasting, penance, and prayer. “You are dust, and to dust you shall return (Book of Genesis 3:19)”. On this Ash Wednesday it is fitting for this group of senior citizens to reflect that life is a gift and we are finite and won’t live forever. So with every minute that we’ve got, we should live our lives in a way that takes nothing for granted and looks for things to appreciate and be thankful. We are grateful for the support of 台美團契長老教會 (TAFPC) over the past years. We are thankful that Somerset Presbyterian Church opens its broad shoulders embracing us with love and welcomes us in amid the time of uncertainty and challenges. It is a time to move on!

Best Regards,

茂清
