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!

You're a Grand Old Flag...

...forever in peace may you wave.

Celebrating Flag Day at the community has always been a very important event.  We are so fortunate to have many residents, particularly those who have served in the military, that are excited to participate in the program each year.  This year Retired U.S. Navy veteran Kathy C. led the Pledge of Allegiance and also spoke about what the flag means to her.  Coast Guard veteran Bern O. shared a poem that he wrote.  Gerry S.spoke about a tradition involving the flag during his time serving in the U.S. Air Force.

Katherine McGraff, Lifestyle Coordinator, sang the Star Spangled Banner as those in attendance joined in.  "You're the emblem of the land I love, the home of the free and the brave!"
