I first was introduced to Corbin when I was taking care of my Grandmother. Corbin became very important to her well being. She took classes in writing, which she so loved. Exercise and outings were events that kept her vibrant and wanting more. She attended for years, then I lost her.
Years later, my love of seniors moved me in the direction of serving seniors at a Local retirement center. This put me back on the Corbin Map. I provided progressive lunches for Corbin members for years. Then one day a mutual aquaitence asked if I could join the Board at Corbin. I was elated to serve and became a member myself. After all it's where the cool kids play. I worked on many events and auctions helping make money for Corbin. I love the classes and wonderful lunches. I started bringing bus loads of residents to enjoy the offerings. They loved the well organized and enchanting boutique. I to bought many an item there myself. I look forward to seeing the two Joan's at the helm of Corbin s Thrift Boutique.
I would recommend supporting this wonderful establishment. I have seen Corbin transform lives. It transformed mine in more ways then one. Just think, you could become one of they cool kids. Please consider a donation. If God nudges you to do so , Your monies can touch lives and make a difference for so many. Of your not sure come in down and see our membership living their best life. God Bless
