Clark Meadows residents were out on a bird walk with Dawne Gould's daughter, Kathy Kirsch.  Kathy is an expert bird watcher who can identify the bird calls, bird sightings and bird behaviors as well as plant species.  We enjoyed our natural surroundings with our own conservation expert.  She'll be back on May 19th for another bird walk.  Thank you Kathy!

Dorothy Lander Shares Letters and Pictures from Floridian First Graders!

Sharing Finger Lakes Foliage with Young Floridians turns into a Treasure of Letters and Drawings!

KristenMeyer 0 2616

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.

Happy 100th Birthday!

Mary "Bernice" Frame celebrated her 100th birthday on Friday, April 22nd.  She grew up on a farm in Victor, NY and enjoyed playing with the neighbor children and chasing the chickens!  Her grandfather would pick them up in his horse and buggy and drop them off at the school on Main Street in Victor.  Bernice attended hairdressing school and worked in Rochester for awhile.  She eventually took a job in Victor as a switchboard operator where she was happy to be able to walk to work.

Together with her sister, they loved to dance, and attended every dance they could.  Her brother in law set her up with his cousin, Mark, and the rest was history.  They were married in 1947 at St. Patrick's Church in Victor.  They had five children and they all grew up in Victor.  A very exciting time for Bernice, was when she met President Reagan at a White House Christmas Party.  Bernice will also be featured on the Today Show's Smucker's Celebration of her 100th birthday.

We are happy to have been a part of her 100th birthday celebration here at Clark Meadows.  When asked what the secret to making it to 100 was, she said simply "just be a good person."
