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!

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.

North East England Presentation

North East England Presentation

Claire Watson shared stories and photos of her English hometown, Tynemouth, during her presentation at Ferris Hills last week.

It was a full house and residents enjoyed hearing about the North East of England's weather, food, history and local landmarks.  The Priory Castle, Collingwood's Monument, North Shields Fish Quay and the Long Sands were explored with a quick tour around the local pub.

The beautiful town of Tynemouth rests on the North Sea coastline and is filled with stores, coffee-shops and restaurants with dramatic views.  Its history dates back to an Iron Age settlement and is steeped in history making it a hit with tourists.   

Enjoy the photos below by Claire's husband, Michael Francis.
