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

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.

Soup's On!

All Delicious and All Homemade by Our Staff!

The Clark Meadows/Ferris Hills Kitchen staff set a high bar in the culnary department.  They provide an excellent menu offering healthy delicious meals every day.   In an effort to change things up a bit, the staff who do not work in the kitchen wanted to share some of their soup recipes with our residents.  The residents were eager to taste and we were honored to have our head chef, Tony Cafarelli, sous chef, Dan Cobb, and long-time dining associate, Brittni Hewitt, come in at the end to critique our soups.  They gave us all gold stars!  The Soup Bar Lunch included Melissa's Tomato, Basil & Orzo soup, Beth's Butternut Squash, Kristen's Black Bean, Claire's Steak & Potato, Dave's Pasta Fagioli, Rebecca's Meatball Stew w/Orzo & White Beans, and Jenn's Stuffed Pepper Soup.  Thank you all for helping with this Soup Bar lunch special. It was a success!

Breakfast Fundraiser for Light Hill Hospice

Breakfast Fundraiser for Light Hill Hospice

With over 100 people fed and $1,450 raised it was a great morning on Friday when people joined Ferris Hills and Clark Meadows to show support for the wonderful Light Hill Hospice.  Our raspberry pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon and home fries made the perfect breakfast for the fundraiser. 

A special ‘thank you’ to Michele Chiaverini, Administrative Assistant, for putting together a lovely gift basket to raffle off and to resident, Joan Szabla for crocheting prayer shawls to hand out as favors.

Light Hill Hospice provides loving, compassionate, specialized care for those who are terminally ill and for their families and loved ones.  With a 2 bedroom house in Canandaigua their primary focus is to ensure the richest possible experience for residents and their loved ones as they approach the final stages of life.  We were honored to host this event for such a worthy cause.
