Bernice is 96 years old and brings her wisdom and enjoyable speaking ability from her life’s 96 year journey (and counting!). She is still on the Utah Court Roster as a mediator. But now she mostly receives calls for information explaining the benefits of the process for many. This witty, inspirational lady will bring ideas of how to continue to enjoy those senior years.
We’ll also throw in some wisdom ( that word used lightly!) from a couple of other age groups. Carol Foht will share some thoughts on life in the “70s during the 20s”. Evan and Sherma Riggs will share their experiences on keeping young in their 80s. Humor helps keep us young so we thought this could give you some laughs and some thoughts on “Keeping Your Hearts Young!” Holly Conger will perform two entertaining songs: “Keep Your Heart Young” and “The Older I Get.”
Reflections was formed in 1975 to give 6 local women an opportunity to sing. Over the past 45 years more than 200 women, now chosen through audition, have been part of the group sharing the joy of music. The 25 current members are from Cache and Box Elder Counties who love to perform different genres of music.
