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!

May Day!

May Day!

Sunshine!  Glorious sunshine!  Together, staff and residents celebrated May Day (May 1st) with fanfare.  The weather forecast was for rain, but to our delight the sun came out and the temperature rose!  Our Maypole ribbons wafted in the wind as we gathered folks to sit along the sidewalk (6 feet apart).  Some were able to peer out their windows.  The joy of a Spring day was felt by all.  The traditions of May Day date back to ancient times.  Early May Day celebrations began with the Floralia, a festival honoring Flora, the Roman Goddess of flowers.  Our Maypole dance brought forth memories from our residents of a bygone era of Spring celebrations of their youth.  May baskets were also delivered to celebrate the day.  We are so happy to welcome the month of May!
