From the Executive Director Where in the world is The Paradise Center? We have moved our office into our new home at 546 Bay Isles Road! But the building isn’t renovated yet, so some of our larger activities (primarily exercise classes) will still be held at Temple Beth Israel. A bit confusing, yes, but we think it’s worth it.

Our new home, next to the Post Office, will undergo renovations this year. In the meantime, we will be occupying the northeast corner of the building – a beautiful, welcoming and easily accessible space. Come stop by to take a tour, say hello and get a hug from Mary Ann (she’s a hugger). Unfortunately, our medical clinic will be in the portion of the building getting renovated. We wish it would be open now, but some things are out of our control (as anyone who has renovated a home surely understands!) In the meantime, We Need Your Support! In order to provide our services year-round, we rely on generous donations and sponsorships, so please remember us when you’re planning your charitable giving. We’d love to have you join us at our annual gala on February 27th – I promise, our parties are fun! Additionally, we are seeking volunteers – for a variety of responsibilities including administrative tasks, marketing and helping with activity organizing. Finally, let us know what additional services you’d like to see on Longboat Key! That’s why we’re here and we love your feedback. They say you can’t be in two places at once. Well, for now, we are doing just that. Life is better at The Paradise Center… Hope to see you soon (and at our Monkey Bar Memories Gala!!) Suzy Brenner, Executive Director
