Take the time to show your appreciation to our valued Meadows team members Lindsey Ante and Patty Rauch. Lindsey has been with the Good Neighbor Society since June 2008 and Patty since Fall 2014. We recognize the compassionate Christian care they give to each and every one of us every day. Thanks for all you do! Bird Feeders Just a reminder, all bird seed must be kept in air tight containers and placed in the closet in the garage with your name on it. Any seed not labeled or in a container will be thrown out by June 1st. It is not to be kept in your apartment. Deep Cleaning Reminder to tenants that deep cleaning of apartments will begin in May. Tenants will be given notice of their scheduled deep cleaning day and will be asked to leave their apartment during cleaning time as they will be moving furniture and such. The entire cleaning will take approximately (2 hours). From the office of Lindsey Ante…Director of The Meadows May at The Meadows With spring finally upon us, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, flowers are in bloom and I am happy to be at The Meadows, and part of such a supportive community. I want to take this opportunity to thank the tenants of The Meadows, family members, friends and especially our outstanding team members for their loyalty, trust and dedication. We have many activities and events happening at The Meadows this month. First off, Friday, May 1 is May Day. We would like to take this day to acknowledge our past tenants from The Meadows that now live at the GNH. We will be visiting these dear friends on May 1 and bringing them a May Day Basket. Sunday, May 17, we will be honoring our tenants with a Mother’s Day/Father’s Day Brunch. Please join your loved one that day and let us do the cooking. We will have a traditional brunch, sure to leave you satisfied and your loved one happy to spend the day with their sons, daughters, grandchildren and friends. Thursday, May 21, we will honor our seniors and community with The Older American’s Walk. This 1 mile walk will be held on the campus of the GNS and start and end at The Meadows. We are looking for volunteers for that day to help push wheelchairs or just come and enjoy the walk with your loved one. Following the walk, we will be honoring our exceptional team members with an employee recognition lunch. The beef producers will be here grilling hamburgers for employees, tenants and all volunteers. This will be a day you won’t want to miss. Sidewalk Under Construction The Meadows started the recent construction of extending the sidewalk around the front of the building. This project will be completed just in time for the Older Americans walk that will be taking place on the Good Neighbor Society Campus later this month. Many tenants took part in our recent Paris Party. They enjoyed an armchair travel video of Paris as well as some French appetizers including liver pate, grapes, cheese and of course wine. Music traditionally heard in Paris played throughout the afternoon. Lot’s of FUN! These ladies from The Meadows were busy putting together May Baskets. These baskets will be delivered to the tenants at The Good Neighbor Home that formerly lived at The Meadows. Happy Mothers Day! 1.NO ONE TO BLAME 2.RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES 3. JACK IN THE BOX 4.
