Making artificial poppies is a long-standing tradition and today we all pitched in to help the local Veterans Affairs assemble poppies. Close to 400 poppies were assembled and we had a good time sharing stories and remembering our own experiences with the symbolic poppy.

Today at Clark Meadows, Katherine McGrath lead the Music History series with a new topic.  Great Concuctors, such as Marin Alsop, Lorin Verncove Maazel, Herbert von Karajan, Juliette Nadia Boulanger, and Fritz Reiner were featured.  So interesting to learn about the different styles and what all those hand gestures and arm motions mean!

Tai-Chi started this morning at Ferris Hills

Today was the first day of Tai-Chi and fourteen residents joined in to check it out.  Julie Charles, a Dining Services Associate, and the class instructor, has studied Tai-Chi for 20 years; two of which she lived in China.  She explains that "Tai-Chi is a relaxed martial art that is excellent for your flexibility, balance and your overall health."  One of the participants stated that this class "looks like it's going to be wonderful!." 

Interested?  We invite other residents to join in the fun every Friday morning at 10 am in the Vista Lounge.
