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!

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.

The Clark Meadows/Ferris Hills Kitchen staff set a high bar in the culnary department.  They provide an excellent menu offering healthy delicious meals every day.   In an effort to change things up a bit, the staff who do not work in the kitchen wanted to share some of their soup recipes with our residents.  The residents were eager to taste and we were honored to have our head chef, Tony Cafarelli, sous chef, Dan Cobb, and long-time dining associate, Brittni Hewitt, come in at the end to critique our soups.  They gave us all gold stars!  The Soup Bar Lunch included Melissa's Tomato, Basil & Orzo soup, Beth's Butternut Squash, Kristen's Black Bean, Claire's Steak & Potato, Dave's Pasta Fagioli, Rebecca's Meatball Stew w/Orzo & White Beans, and Jenn's Stuffed Pepper Soup.  Thank you all for helping with this Soup Bar lunch special. It was a success!

Bringing the joy of music!
Lynne Standish

Bringing the joy of music!

Rocappella is a women's a cappella group from Rochester, NY.  Their mission is to "bring the joy of music to members of our community who need it most."  And that is exactly what they did recently with their concert here at Ferris Hills.  Under the direction of Maggie Symington, who started the group in 2014, these women, who have a variety of backgrounds come together to spread their joy of singing.  They perform most often at a variety of senior communities in the Rochester area, as well as the YWCA and even had an invitation to perform at a holiday party at the Naval Observatory for the then Vice-President, Joseph Biden and his guests.  

From the golden oldies to gospel, showtunes, holiday, and even pop music, these ladies use their talents and our residents certainly reaped the benefits!
