ACTIVITIES NEWS BLAST
OCTOBER 27, 2022
“Well slap me silly, and call me Darlin’, it’s Friday
It’s been a month already since I stepped into the position of Activity Director, and I’m lov’in it. You guys and gal’s are running me ragged with schedule changes, and questions questions questions. But thanks to a great team working with me, I hope we’ve been able to answer your questions and meet your expectations thus far.
Thanks to “The Cowboy” I think we have the keys for all the cabinets resolved, and have located everyone’s room supplies. Thank you for your patience.
On the downside, the “SMOKE SIGNAL” for November 1st will be late…. Not only am I new at writing a “Newspaper” but the printer has a new publisher, hope to have it in your mailboxes by the end of next week.” IT’s BETTER LATE THAN NEVER,” “Superman first appeared in 1938…It took Him just 75 years to realize that his underwear must be worn under pants.”
On the upside, I think we’re almost done with the schedule changes and the November schedule will be out on November 1st ….in time for the Round-up meeting, which is at 8:30 in the Hole in the Wall on Tuesday Nov 1st.
We are so excited to welcome Melissa and David as the kitchen Manager’s of the “Coop” starting November 1st they will begin serving a breakfast brunch from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. for $10.00 M – Th- F, and a lunch every day for $12.00 from 11:30 to 1:30. We all know how difficult it is in the food industry in today’s world, I encourage you to pay them patronage, let’s help make them successful.
Thank you Robert Haynes for letting us know that you are willing and interested in helping others haul trash to the dumpsters with your Chevy pick-up. Please see us in the Activity Ofc for Robert’s information and assistance. Is there anyone else out there who wants to offer their services up to help their neighbors.
