The Barbie Movie

What is it about the Barbie Movie that is creating so much attention?

Ok.  So we clearly had a lot of fun showing the Barbie Movie in Rayburn Hall on Friday.  The pre-party was a hoot!  The energy our residents brought to the event was palpable.

It's a fun movie, but since I'm blogging on a website for a Senior Community, I thought I might dig deeper and my attention went to the bench scene.  Academy award winning, fashion designer, Ann Roth, meets Barbie on a bench where Barbie looks at this elderly woman and says, "you're beautiful," and Ann Roth responds, "I know it."  There it is!!!  Women talking to each other through generations.  Barbie's decision to leave Barbieland and embrace the discomforts of the human experience and to see beauty in aging are some of the themes in the movie.  

There was magic in the air on friday as we drank pink cocktails, ate pink popcorn, and enjoyed each other as modern women living in challenging times.

Breakfast Fundraiser for Light Hill Hospice

Breakfast Fundraiser for Light Hill Hospice

With over 100 people fed and $1,450 raised it was a great morning on Friday when people joined Ferris Hills and Clark Meadows to show support for the wonderful Light Hill Hospice.  Our raspberry pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon and home fries made the perfect breakfast for the fundraiser. 

A special ‘thank you’ to Michele Chiaverini, Administrative Assistant, for putting together a lovely gift basket to raffle off and to resident, Joan Szabla for crocheting prayer shawls to hand out as favors.

Light Hill Hospice provides loving, compassionate, specialized care for those who are terminally ill and for their families and loved ones.  With a 2 bedroom house in Canandaigua their primary focus is to ensure the richest possible experience for residents and their loved ones as they approach the final stages of life.  We were honored to host this event for such a worthy cause.
