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!

Giving back with songs and hard work!

Giving back with songs and hard work!

The Youth Choir of the Finger Lakes made a visit to Clark Meadows recently.  According to Founder and Artistic Director, Kristy Ingersoll, it is important for her students to give back to their communities with their voices and some hard work. Not only did our residents enjoy the musical selections presented, but reaped the beautiful benefits of their planting flowers to enjoy for the Summer season. 

The mission of this program is to provide youth with an engaging music experience that fosters critical thinking and discovery learning; sharing emotional and artistic expression through performance. And of course to have fun doing it.  A special thank you goes to Mrs. Ingersoll and her youth choir for choosing Clark Meadows for their service project.  For more details go to www.ycfl.org.
