Robert M. Chur Notes
The new year is upon us and the holiday season has passed; it is a good time to reflect on
the recent goodwill of all. We continued to support the Salvation Army during its “Warm Hands,
Warm Hearts” drive at both facilities. Collections were taken not only from residents, but also
from residents’ families, staff and the local community. All should be thanked for their donations
to this worthy cause. This is also a good time to reflect on the joy of the past season, the
celebrations and the time spent in good cheer. Wishing everyone a prosperous new year!

party and throughout December!
Barbara DeMilio and her
Thanks, also, to all who donated
