The week of April 10 through
17 is Volunteer Appreciation
Week. We are blessed with
remarkable volunteers in our
community and we want to take
this time to show you all how
much we truly appreciate you.
We invite all volunteers to join
us on Friday, April 15, at 10 a.m.
for brunch. Our volunteers give
so much of their time, talent,
energy, and most importantly,
their love to our residents and
community. Those of you that
have attended our volunteer
events in the past are
aware that we will have a fun-
We have a number of
excellent volunteers that call
Bingo at Morning Pointe. With
Bingo twice a week, there are
usually several times a month
that our scheduled caller has to
cancel due to travel or illness.
But Cyril Hall comes to the
rescue! Even with short notice he
is usually available to help. His
wife, Janet, resides at Morning
Pointe, and since he visits daily,
he is pleased to help us out.

that the best (or maybe worst) kept
secret is that Tullahoma will be
gaining an Aldi's and a Publix! We
suspect we will be taking outings to
those places as soon as they open.

coordinate these
presentations. In April

will provide tips on how
to communicate with a
loved one with
dementia or Alzheimer’s.

Joyce Kiley
Welcome to Morning Pointe
We Are So Glad You Are Here
When one hears Joyce Kiley
speak, her delightful accent makes it
clear that she was born and raised in
Wisconsin. She loved riding her
tricycle with other youngsters in front
of Rubens Grocery Store. Although
they were very young they were
serious about their tricycle races!
She met her future husband
William Daniel Kiley while he was on
leave from the Navy. They
corresponded through letters while
he was deployed and gradually fell in
love and married.
The couple made their home in
Wisconsin and were both employed
by the state of Minnesota at the State
Prison in Stillwater, MN. William was
the activity director and Joyce was
the X-ray technician. She would often
serve as the hostess when family
events were held at the prison. It was
after their two children, Paula and
Shawn, left home that the Kileys
began spending their winters in Fort

Myers, FL, and the summers in
Wisconsin. Eventually the long drive
became too much for them and they
decided to make their home closer to
Florida.
They had been told Tullahoma
was near a military base and Joyce
was afraid it would be full of bars and
wild soldiers. However, she and her
husband visited Tullahoma a few
times and fell in love with the town
and the people. They bought the
