It’s a great way to get them out and make them feel important. This is so necessary in our world.  Even though it won’t be our team, competing in the final rounds, we had a great time and truly appreciate all you do.  Thanks to you and Art for continuing this fine tradition. Even with WH out of it, we enjoyed the competition. Loved meeting Paul, too. Looking forward to starting to read his great book tomorrow. 

Thanks again for all you do. Willoughby Hills is glad to be a part of it. Thanks again. Gloria !”

With the addition ofthe  Mind Challenge, our group has continued to grow, as everyone is now hearing what great fun it is. I sincerely appreciate the work of Art, Phil, Brian and the sponsors for continuing to support this amazing opportunity for our area seniors. Happy Summer to all of you, see you next year!”

Dear Art and Phil,

This letter is a way to say thank you and to offer our appreciation from S.C.O.P.E. (Senior Citizens Opportunity for Personal Endeavors) in participating in your trivia competition.

The ‘Mind Challenge for the New Majority’ is an excellent concept in keeping senior citizen’s minds stimulated with knowledge which is vital to slow down dementia issues. 

The events were also fun for our seniors who played. We at SCOPE are now beginning to hold trivia times at all of our centers. 

As the largest senior citizen organization with ten centers located throughout Northeast Ohio, I am happy to recommend other senior citizen centers to take advantage of this program. 

A huge thank you to . .

All of the senior directors, event planners, and our great sponsors for making this our best Mind Challenge to date.
