Dorothy Lander Shares Letters and Pictures from Floridian First Graders!

Sharing Finger Lakes Foliage with Young Floridians turns into a Treasure of Letters and Drawings!

KristenMeyer 0 1762

Last Fall, Dorothy (Dot) Lander collected a box of colorful leaves and sent them to her daughter, Janet, who is a 1st grade teacher in Florida. Janet's students, many of whom had never been exposed to the beautiful Fingerlakes colors, responded in a most thoughtful way.  They drew pictures and composed letters. Dot was so surprised and overcome with joy when she opened the package. 

These pictures and letters have been displayed in the CM living room this week for all CM residents, staff, families and visitors to enjoy! A big thank you to Dot for sharing with all of us.  We have been in awe of the thoughful messages, the drawings, and the amazing penmanship coming from such young children.

Recognizing our Shining Star!

Recognizing our Shining Star!

Each year, Thompson Health has a "Shining Star" ceremony for those associates who have been nominated by their peers for exceptional work and abiding by the CARES values.  Winners are chosen by a secret committee.  A number of staff were on hand Tuesday, May 10th for this ceremony.  One of our Nutrition associates, Laura Hillson was surprised and pleased to be honored with her shining star this year! 

"As the lead server and host in the Clark Meadows dining room, Laura is often the first person residents see in the morning, and she never fails to bring sunshine to their day.  She takes the time to ask how they're doing, commits their likes and dislikes to memory, listens intently to their needs and promptly follows up if one has a special order or concern.  She takes pride in training new associates and is a role model to all with her energy, her patience and her take-charge, effervescent personality.  As one associate said, "CARES values?  She has them all."  Congratulations Laura and thank you!
