Everyday brings new opportunities and adventures.

Candace's Corner 
Spring is such a wonderful time of year – the perfect weather and everything’s in bloom! Which reminds me, the gardeners are doing a terrific job outside; it seems every day there’s something new to see.

Mary Eads, our Executive Director, celebrated her 1-year anniversary last month -- Happy Anniversary! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication.

We would like to welcome and congratulate Aaron Prescott on his new position as Dietary Director. Aaron comes to us from the Waterfront Restaurant and we're already impressed by his talents.

Have a great month of June,
Candace
