Greetings!
Our male and female residents had a great month of November as they celebrated Veterans Day and Thanksgiving. We were all honored with amazing meals and dedicated visitors of all ages. Thanks to the terrific job by Board Vice-Chair Bob Kozlowsky and his sensational team, our 3rd Annual Mini-Golf Tournament was a huge success.
In December, we are anticipating a joyous Holiday Season that will be brought about by the many wonderful visitors who remember the men and women who have served our country. We wish all of you a Blessed, Healthy and Happy Holiday Season.
