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!

Clark Meadows Annual Holiday Party!

Clark Meadows Annual Holiday Party!

Joy in Fellowship!

A festive affair in Rayburn Hall!  There was a fabulous turn out for this annual event.  As folks entered our great hall, Jenn greeted them and entered everyone in the Guess How Many game.  Kay was our big winner as her guess was spot on.  She won all the Xmas mints!  Champagne, Reisling, and ginger ale were flowing as we mingled and spread good cheer.  Small plates included shrimp cocktail, cucumber w/chicken salad canape, and a cream puff.  YUM!  Laughter filled the room. There were prize drawings, Holiday trivia with prizes, and good music.  Gift bags were given to everyone and they all opened them together like kids on Christmas morning.      To top off our party Katherine lead us in carols with her guitar.  We all walked back from the great hall with our neighbors and friends. So. Much. Joy!!!
