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.

Soup's On!

All Delicious and All Homemade by Our Staff!

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!

Elf Day!

Elf Day!

Just another day at Clark Meadows in Canandaigua, NY!

The day started with a meeting of my peers all in elf costumes. Rebecca Wallace, Case Manager is featured sitting at her desk.  Also, Jennifer Army, Program Director, posing by our Living Room tree.   Julie Davis is passing medication in elf attire and a few residents joined in the fun. One of our residents even offered to lend me her socks!  Today, we wrapped presents for our military family that we sponsor every year.  Jody was the elf in charge! Many of our residents pitched in to wrap presents and join in the elf merriment.  The spirit of the holidays resonated throughout the halls.  We are ending the day with a performance by Ferris Hills resident, Dick Johnson, on the piano.  As he plays, there is a crochet lesson going on.  Dinner is being prepped and plated.  The wait staff will bring the plates out for the residents to take a look before heading into the dining room.    A very good day, indeed.
