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!

KristenMeyer 0 1980

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.

Keep On Keeping On....

We all remain fit and healthy at Ferris Hills and Clark Meadows which we put down to 'following the rules' and laughing every day.

Our residents are keeping in contact with one another, seeing faces as they get their morning coffee, making the most of shopping at the onsite store and moving as much as possible. 

The fitness center signup sheet is being put to good use to allow plenty of time to workout and the trails are being used daily, especially as the weather improves. 

We have all noticed an increase in birds which has been great for our avid bird watchers!  This is just another reason for people to get out and enjoy the beautiful grounds.

The staff are always coming up with ideas to keep a smile on people's faces, the latest is from one team member who had flower cookie cutouts made for all 130 residents which were delivered door to door with a lovely message.  

We know the residents appreciate the effort being made and they thanked everyone by making and hanging a huge banner with all staff names, we know how much time must have went in to doing this and it was very well received. 

I'm not sure who needs whom more at the moment, staff or residents, I just know we are getting through this together and there is no place we would rather be.
