Special Visit from San Antonio City Council District 1 Leaders 🌟

The new year at San Antonio Clubhouse kicked off with the delightful visit of City Council District 1 Councilwoman Dr. Sukh Kaur and District 1 Community Outreach Director Maggie Morales. They toured the Clubhouse and connected with members all along the way. In the garden room, they shared laughs about how many on the tour did not have a green thumb.

When the Clubhouse priority of promoting physical wellbeing was mentioned, the Councilwoman revealed she finds this important too, sharing that she is also a yoga instructor. Their great appreciation and interest in Grandstaff Manors and the permanent supportive housing it provides was evident from the many questions they asked about it. How fortunate that one of Grandstaff Manors’ residents was right there to tell them how good she finds life at Grandstaff Manors.

The tour ended with much good cheer, some homework for both sides to do, and overall the feeling that the Clubhouse had made some new friends.

Quote of the Month

"Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle."

 

-  Christian D. Larson

This powerful quote serves as a reminder that our inner strength far surpasses the challenges we face. Often, obstacles seem insurmountable, but when we believe in our abilities and tap into our resilience, we discover that we are capable of overcoming much more than we realize. By trusting in ourselves, we can break through barriers, transform setbacks into growth opportunities, and ultimately achieve our goals. Let this be a moment to embrace your inner power and face each challenge with confidence.
