Connie s Corner Somehow or other we have moved through another 10 months of a year. Time waits for no one. We have many exciting things happening in and around the facility. Our new building is in the completion stages. On the interior, the drywall is up, painting is starting, trim is here, and soon the floors will be done. The exterior is complete except for landscaping! I'm already looking forward to next season when we can put our new walkways and gazebo to use. We will keep you updated as we move closer to an opening date. October ushers in cooler weather. Please make sure you've stopped by to visit with your loved one and ensure they have their fall and winter clothing available including outerwear, as well as laundry soap and toiletries. Soon enough, we will be gathering together for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. As we contemplate this Thanksgiving season, I realize our sole purpose in coming to work is the people we work with, whether it's the simply amazing team, coming together from all walks of life, who have bonded over the past years or the wonderful residents who brighten each of our lives with their smiles, their gladness, and their joy in living. We give thanks to our great God above, who blesses the works of our hands and gives us the strength and courage to serve those around us. On December7th, we will again host our Annual Christmas Gala, an event looked forward to by all residents and staff! As always, we can only send four tickets per resident. This year's tickets should be on their way to you. RSVP deadline is November 30th. I look forward to seeing all of you there.
