This month, we are adding a new feature to spotlight the volunteers who serve on the TPR Foundation’s Board of Directors. These individuals spend many hours planning and organizing fund raising events and vetting organizations that support senior citizens in the Southeast valley for the purpose of providing funds to assist in their efforts. This spotlight will highlight two or three volunteers each month. You will see as we spotlight these board members on how active they have been in their support of Trilogy activities. Just recently, the Foundation donated $7,200 toward a Smith machine in the Trilogy Fitness Center.
