If you are a veteran, we’dlike to thank you for your courageand service.I would again like to thank allwho completed the satisfactionsurveys. Your input helps shapethe programs and activities wehave for our residents. Thedeadline is Nov.6, so if youhaven’t filled one out, there is stillsome time. We would love to hearfrom you.Also, in the next few weeks youwill be receiving a letter from ourResident Council President LouSutherland regarding theEmployee Appreciation Fund.Because we ask that you do not tipstaff throughout the year, this isan effort to make it fair and alsoshow your appreciation for thework the team does. So keep aneye out for his letter.This year, Thanksgiving isThursday, Nov. 27. The word“thank” is defined as “to show orexpress appreciation or gratitudeto, as by saying ‘thank you’.”“Thankfulness,” then, is thefeeling or expression of suchthanks. But that description trulydoesn’t give justice to theemotions that swell up from ourhearts when we truly feel thankfulfor the people in our lives who welove, cherish and appreciate.During this month ofThanksgiving, give some thoughtto the people for whom you aremost thankful, both now and inthe past.The entire team would like towish our residents a very happyThanksgiving. We hope all of youenjoy good food and the companyof friends and family thisThanksgiving.Sincerely,Judith Uy-VillaruzExecutive Director
