Today we celebrated those who serve our residents with the greatest of care.  Our team of PCA's are the very best!  Several of our residents volunteered to serve ice cream to those who serve us.  This time, the PCA's were served and we served them first!  We honored them with special testimonials written by the residents along with artwork, and poetry.  Beth presented them each with certificates and they even paused to help a resident down the stairs making the moment even more special.  How fortunate we are to have this amazing team of care givers!

Dr. Smoller shared his passon for teaching about wine with Clark Meadows.  Our residents were enthusiastic participants as Bruce regaled us with his knowledge on wines from France and the various regions that produce the grapes that make the different varietals. It was a real treat for our residents and the staff were quite jealous.  The picture of Terry and myself was posed.  We did not imbibe!

Local artist, Benji Carr, was on site to show his latest project to our residents.  The Ghost of Roseland sculpture is his latest commissioned piece.  He brought the model to show us how it will look and explained that there will be moving parts.  What a thrill for our staff and residents to get this up close and personal presentation of such an exciting project.  The discussion brought out a lot of reminiscing about Roseland Park.  So many of our residents grew up in Canandaigua and Rosleand Park was a big part of their youth.  The art reflects the history of our town and the importance that the park played.  Pat Rini Rohrer, gallery owner and Art Tuppen, Canandaigua local, were two of our enthusiastic audience participants.  They are photographed here with the artist.

The story of the Mercury 7

This week, one of our residents presented a very interesting story about Space activity for the last 60 years.  His PowerPoint was presented to others who were captivated during the hour long talk.  Starting with President Kennedy's challenge to the country in 1961 that "before this decade is out, we will land a man on the Moon and return him safely to the Earth", the lecture went on to review the country's response to this challenge.  Starting with the story of the Mercury 7, the original class of 7 astronauts that led to the Mercury Project.  This was followed by several more classes of astronauts to include the Gemini Project, followed by the Apollo Project.  The 11th Apollo flight culminated in meeting the challenge with Neil Armstrong walking on the moon and the safe return of the crew of 3 astronauts safely back to earth. 

Today we have the International Space Station that has been in Earth orbit for more than 20 continuous years of operation.  The residents are still talking about this lecture.  Thank you for your hard work!
