The True Meaning of Christmas The True Meaning of Christmas KristenMeyer / Friday, January 3, 2025 0 8382 Since the beginning of December, so much has happened at Clark Meadows. It was hard to keep up with our activity’s coordinator and her team. They planned so many wonderful activities and events. The magic of the holidays was brought to Clark Meadows in a special way this year with this new team of creative energy. We have our fun traditions at Clark Meadows, but every year there are moments created that make each year memorable. It is a time where we do miss those who aren’t with us anymore, but with the help of our activities team we created a lot of busyness, but most importantly joy. Before we knew it, it was Christmas Eve. On December 24th some of us gathered for a candlelight service. Residents from Clark Meadows and Ferris Hills participated with readings and musical performances. We turned on our battery-operated candles as we sang the closing hymn, Silent Night. It reminded me of candlelight services I attended as a child, but this one was different. This community touches me as I’m sure it does many of our staff. The kindness, beauty, and truth that we experience from our elderly give us courage to face life cheerfully. It is a privilege to work here and participate in the daily lives of our residents. I took that candle with me that night and it lighted my way home. Read more

KristenMeyer / Tuesday, February 14, 2023 / Categories: Uncategorized, Ferris Hills Events, Senior Living Community Events, Ferris Hills Blog Life-long Learning at Ferris Hills John & Dolores Granito, active members of the Ferris Hills community The erudite population at Ferris Hills consists of life-long learners and educators. They do this with so much style and fun. John and Dolores Granito have been here about a year and have jumped right into life in a vibrant senior community. Together, they have shared with us their wedding anniversary, celebrating 60 years. We all enjoyed seeing pictures of them in their younger years and hearing their love story. We imbibed with champagne, wine, and a celebratory cake. Cheers to the happy couple! Sharing these life events brings us all closer together. They also helped plan a themed event honoring the history of the Titanic with a lecture followed by an evening in the dining room enjoying food selected from an authentic menu found on the Titanic. Today, John, with the assistance of his wife (the power point aficionado), presented “Whatever Happened to Amelia Earhart?” America’s longest running mystery question and conspiracy theory 1937 – Today. It was a packed house for John’s presentation. He had an interesting timeline of Amelia’s life along with a list of key persons related to Amelia’s desire to circumvent the globe. He set the stage for conspiracy theories and thoughtful historical recollection. The plot thickens as we await Part 2 coming this Thursday.
