Mornings are busy at Heritage Pointe Senior Living, a Lifespark Senior Living Community, Bernie Dulas said.
On Wednesday, a group of residents were ready to start their day by training for Heritage Pointe’s TRYathlon challenge. Team members lined up for a relay of arm and leg cranking exercises, and all the while Dulas was there keeping time and giving encouragement.
“I try to cheer everybody on,” he said. “It gives me a purpose to do some of this stuff,” Dulas said of volunteering. “It gives me a chance to get out of bed and go to work.”
Recently, Dulas was honored for his volunteer work at Heritage Pointe. Care Providers of Minnesota, a statewide association, named him Volunteer of the Year at their annual convention in November. Dulas was invited to speak at the convention, and was presented with the award.
