This year’s Christmas Door Decorating Contest
was a hard one to judge according to the Art
Club from Waterford High School. Everyone
did a wonderful job. It is fun to walk the halls
and see everyone’s creativity. Thanks to all
who participated in this year’s event.
Hopefully you’re already thinking about next
year. Thanks to Mr. Frank Korb and the Art
Club for coming to judge. Please take some
time and walk the halls and look and all the
beautiful doors.

Last week my computer crashed. All the data in the computer is lost. One of the most important things missing is
the addresses for the newsletter. We were able to find some addresses in residents’ files but this is not a
complete list. If you know of someone who normally received the newsletter in the past and did not receive this
one please give us their address information. Thank you for your patience.
December Birthdays
This month we had six birthdays, our biggest month by far. Augie,
Mernie, Julian, Theresa, Lois M., and Anna all celebrate in December.
Barb in the kitchen made this gorgeous cake. Everyone decided it
was too cute to eat, but we did. All of our birthday folks were
treated to a special birthday lunch on the 13th and given a gift
certificate to the salon, a gift from Carrie and Waterford Senior
Living.

Directors Message
I want to take this opportunity to thank all of the residents and families for such a great year. This year has
brought us many new residents and families to add to our family here at WSL and the addition of the Memorial
Garden has given us the opportunity to remember all of our past residents and reconnect with familie s that
th we
have missed.
I also want
nt to thank all of the residents and families who par
participated in the Satisfaction Surveys. Your feed

law was recently diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. She underwent extensive surgery at the

Mayo Clinic and will hopefully be returning home to continue whatever treatment her doctors feel will give he

I hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday season and wish you a Happy New Year.

What I hope to do is help my brother and sister
sister-in-law
law with some of their expenses. This may be a crazy idea, but I
feel I need to do SOMETHING (other than the ongoi
ongoing prayers which I also ask everyone for). I am beginning what
I’m calling Kristy’s Can Brigade.
ade. My idea is to collect alum
aluminum
inum cans, cash them in and give my brother the
proceeds to use for a number of expenses they are incurring. I am asking if you would be willing to donate your
aluminum cans for this purpose.
If you are willing to help out, there are a couple of ways for me to get the cans:
1. You can bring them to Waterford Senior Living & just leave them on the front porch at the North West
door.
2. If you have a lot of cans, just let me know and I can pick them up from your home or place of business.
I understand I will need to collect a lot of cans to make a difference. This is not a onetime collection. I plan to
collect until the need is no more. I feel ccompelled
ompelled to at least try in order to help my family through this most
difficult time.
I thank you in advance for any help you can give.
God Bless and Thank You.
