✨ Member Spotlight: Cynthy Payne ✨

At 90 years young, Cynthy Payne is a shining example of what it means to thrive, not just survive, as we age. Physical activity has been part of Cynthy’s life since she was a teenager, when she first began ballet. That lifelong commitment to movement and wellness continues today as a very active member of Baker Senior Center Naples.

Cynthy participates in our high-intensity exercise classes, enjoys card games with fellow members, and has built meaningful social connections through our community after the loss of her husband three years ago. Her active lifestyle doesn’t stop there, Cynthy also plays tennis and walks 4 miles four times a week! Her strength, resilience, and positive spirit inspire everyone around her!

Language skills
Reducing anxiety and agitation
Reminiscence and socialization
Building self-esteem
Overall cognitive support

Each session features a unique and engaging theme designed to support clients while giving caregivers valuable time to attend to personal responsibilities.

🌟 Volunteer Spotlight – Mario Cardamone 🌟

Mario Cardamone was inspired to volunteer at Baker Senior Center Naples after becoming a full-time Florida resident and a friend suggested that he become involved in our center. Mario’s participation as a member grew into volunteering. Today, Mario generously gives his time assisting with Rock Steady Boxing, cooking classes, the food pantry, serving lunch and delivering meals to Lulu’s Kitchen! When asked what he gains from volunteering, Mario shared that “volunteering is a welcome change from his daily routine and has allowed him to build many new social connections.”

🌟 VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT – LUCIA DILLARD! 🌟

Lucia Dillard is a dedicated volunteer at Baker Senior Center Naples who plays an important role in many of our programs. From serving members at our weekly luncheons to assisting in the office, art programs, and cooking classes, and restocking BSCN’s Cyber Café, Lucia’s commitment shines through in everything she does. Lucia first discovered the center through her mom, Fran Gagliardi, who was a member and discovered a passion for crochet at the age of 80! Seeing the positive impact the center had on her mom’s life inspired Lucia to give back after her mom passed away. In Lucia’s own words, “I get so much more than I give from volunteering, such as building friendships and gaining a sense of purpose.”

We are grateful for all that Lucia does to make Baker Senior Center Naples a welcoming and enjoyable place for our members!
