Melissa’s Memo
Melissa Buesching,
Senior Circle Advisor and Volunteer Manager
As always, I hope this newsletter finds you doing whatever keeps you happy, healthy
and active. My memo to
you this month is certainly
bittersweet because I have
accepted a new position as
director of volunteer services
with Lutheran Life Villages.
As Dave Mustaine once said, “Moving on is
a simple thing, what it leaves behind is hard.”
Moving forward is simply about being true
to oneself and fulfilling your life’s calling. For
some, change is hard. But who promised us that
life would always be easy?
My passion has always been and will continue
to be serving the older adult. As I think back,
here are just some of the positive things we’ve
experienced together. To begin, there is the joint
venture between Fort Wayne Orthopedics and
The Rehabilitation Hospital that provides access
to two warm water pools. Members can enjoy
warm aquatic exercises each week, which is a
major benefit to those who suffer from arthritic
pain. I cannot tell you how often I have received
a phone call or had a member stop in to share
a personal story about how much he or she
appreciates having the pools available as an
exercise option.
LutheranHealth.net
I think about the consistency of programming
we provide at Dupont, Lutheran and St. Joseph
hospitals in order to meet the needs of members
across the city and in the various counties we
serve. Next, I think about how we have had
more physician participation than ever before
in our lecture and learn series. Your feedback
enabled us to secure more physicians from
various specialties and provide programming
regarding your health needs. As a result, we
have had more member participation during
those lectures and learns than ever before.
I also think about the fellowship we have
enjoyed each time we see each other — all the
fun we had guessing where we were headed
on the “mystery trip” last year, the movies
on Wacky Wednesdays and the day we had
brunch at Brookside, when members dressed
in their Sunday best and even wore hats. These
are just some of the fond memories I have.
Looking back, you realize that a very special
person passed briefly through your life. That
very special person just happens to be you.
Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean
I’ll miss you until we meet again. I wish you
all the very best and I know you will welcome
the new advisor with open arms. Just promise
to keep yourself happy, healthy and active and
continue to tell others about the wonderful
programs we offer in “our circle!”
All my best!
Melissa
