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!

The Senior Signers present a holiday program!

The Senior Signers present a holiday program!

Jody Wilbur and her "Senior Signers"; her ASL language students, performed a beautiful Christmas program this week.  Residents worked very hard for many weeks learning to sign Christmas songs.  The show kicked off with an upbeat version of Jingle Bells, sung by The Drifters. The next two numbers, they were accompanied by our Music Therapist, Katherine McGraff.  She played her guitar and sang The First Noel and Silent Night.  There may not have been too many dry eyes in the audience after the finale.  A resident had suggested learning the sign language for "Mary Did you Know?" and Jody found a powerful rendition of this song sung by CeeLo Green.  We are so very proud of our Senior Signers as they portrayed this beautiful song for the holiday season.  Thank you Jody and all of our resident signers!
