Global Imports BMW and "Ageless Dreams" Sunwest Management started a program called Ageless Dreams, which helps to facilitate some
"bucket list" ideas of their residents. Hank Fein, an 85 year old resident of Terrace at Woodstock, an
assisted living facility, operated by Sunwest Management, visited Global Imports BMW to participate in
his Ageless Dream. Hank has always enjoyed and been interested in Germany, German engineering, and German-made
products. It is no wonder he took a liking to the administrator's BMW, commenting frequently about how
great it looked and sounded. The BMW had been purchased at Global Imports BMW and the idea was
hatched to surprise Hank with a dream trip to Global Imports for a tour, a ride, lots of interesting
conversation, and a BMW shirt and cap, which are now among Hank's prized possessions!
