Letter From the
Executive Director
Month at
a Glance
There is a lot going on at Savannah Court of
Minden this spring! We have installed two
new flag poles at the Front Entrance and
new flowerbeds will be going in soon at the
Entrance. New hanging baskets and plants
are now in the Patio area to add some color
and beauty to that area as well. In the next
few weeks, we should be seeing a lot of
changes as they begin painting, installing
new flooring and new furniture. All of this
will enhance the beauty of Savannah Court
of Minden.
Hello all,
Yes spring is here and summer is just around the corner. I am
so looking forward to these seasons. God’s beauty is showing
up all around us. The Dogwood trees and Azaleas have been
beautiful. Also, there are many other beautiful plants such as
Tulips and all the different beautiful bulbs. We have hanging
baskets in front with ferns and May plants on our Back Patio.
Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 10 and we
would like to wish the mothers at Savannah
Court of Minden a Happy Mother’s Day.
If you have family members who would
enjoy having lunch with you on this day,
please feel free to invite them. Also, at
3 p.m. on Mother’s Day, we will be serving
refreshments in the Dining Room. Hope to
see you there! Your family is always welcome.
Everyone at Savannah Court would like to
extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to
the family of Ms. Wanda Hobbs.
(Continued on back)
Our Men’s Club has been busy caring for their tomatoes and
we are looking forward to an abundance of tomatoes to enjoy.
Many events have been scheduled for them including lunch
out at a different place every month, pool, picking blueberries
and many other activities.
Our Ladies’ Home and Garden Club is still in the planning
stages. We will be eating lunch out once a month at a
restaurant of their choice and enjoying rides in the country,
birthday parties and many more activities.
Please enjoy our Patio Area by our Activity Room and invite
your friends out to visit with you. Love you all!
Birthday
Wilma J., 21st

Letter From the
Executive Director (Continued)
I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to all residents and their
families for choosing Savannah Court of Minden and entrusting our community
to provide care and services. Also, I would like to thank the staff members of
Savannah Court who strive each and every day to provide care and services to our
residents. We strive to take care of each resident as if they were our own family
member. Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed.

If you’re longing to bid the wintertime blues goodbye as warmer, sunny weather
returns, there’s no better cure for cabin fever than to spend time outdoors on a
Sue Ranger
bright and breezy spring day. Consider these ideas for enjoying the season.
Activities Associate
Take me out to the ballgame: Since spring ushers in baseball season, catch your
home team in action or take in other spectator sports, such as a grandchild’s
soccer game or a local high school track meet.
Let’s get growing: Get back in touch with nature by planting flowers or vegetables. Whether it’s a community garden
or a small pot for your windowsill, tending plants can be therapeutic.
A bird’s-eye view: Spring is prime time for bird-watching since many species of our feathered friends are returning
from winter migration, as well as building nests to raise their hatchlings.
Pack a picnic: Whether you enjoy a full meal or just some seasonal snacks, dining outside on a beautiful day is the
perfect way to take in the season.
Appreciating America’s Military
May is a month to appreciate warmer days, sunshine and all that comes with spring. And since 1999, it’s also
designated as Military Appreciation Month, a time to formally and publicly thank and support the men and women
who have served or currently serve to protect our freedom and liberty.
Created from the simple idea of gathering America around its armed forces to show gratitude and solidarity, the
month of May was chosen because it already includes the most military-related commemoration days: Loyalty Day,
Victory in Europe (VE) Day, Armed Forces Day, Military Spouse Appreciation Day and, most well-known, Memorial Day.
The congressional resolution for Military Appreciation Month calls for a proclamation from the president regarding the
important role these men and women fill, but you can celebrate in your own community any way you choose. One of
the easiest, yet most meaningful, is to offer a heartfelt thank-you to all service members, past and present.
