The month of August makes me think of getting the children ready to go back to school. It’s time to get back to the regularly scheduled days of school and/or work. For some, though, those days never stopped except for maybe a week of vacation, such as myself.
As I reflect on the years past I can’t help but think of the relationships that have developed with residents, family members and even a few new staff members. Many of the residents are still here when I joined the Paragon team three years ago. Regretfully several have either passed away or moved. I am glad to have been given the chance to meet each and every one of these residents and look forward to a continued relationship of making fun and new memories.
A couple of our residents have requested to bring back the bell choir. In doing so, I’m going to need a couple more ringers - so ask your friends and neighbors if they might want to join us in bell choir.
We have a fun and eventful month planned. Please take notice of your monthly calendar enclosed in this newsletter and mark your favorite activities. We will be going out for lunch a couple of times this month, so pay attention to those dates. On Friday August 27 at 6 p.m., we are having a special guest, Cliff Duckworth. He will be providing entertainment for that evening. It’s not a family night, but family and friends are welcome to come and join us. There will not be any invitations sent out for this event. This is our western day so come dressed in your western attire! We will have the popcorn popping in the dining room before the music starts. We look forward to seeing you there.
While looking at the calendar—do you realize that August is the only month of the year that isn’t home to a major holiday?
Until next month,
Sherry
