This complex houses over <br /> 250 residents, most with limited mobility and resources to lead a social <br /> life outside of the complex. Through the Social Services Coordinator of <br /> Marian Towers, programs are organized to offer quality of life activities <br /> for residents and neighbors on site for the direct benefit of their <br /> residents, our residents. These programs are offered year round and <br /> are available to all residents as well as their guests, most of whom are <br /> also Sunny Isles Beach residents in neighboring homes. <br /> It is recommended to designate $10,000 of funds budgeted as a <br /> donation for the purpose of financial assistance for these programs. <br /> Our donation will go a long way to directly serve our residents most in <br /> need. Funds will be used to purchase and install computers for a <br /> computer lab along with instruction classes on their use, expansion of <br /> the English Citizenship classes, senior exercise and yoga classes, and <br /> expansion of the in-house hot lunch program to offer a daily hot meal to <br /> more residents. <br /> FUNDING SOURCE: <br /> 65 <br />
