I hope that you joined us at Yom Hazikaron on Sunday evening.  It was a moving ceremony and very well attended.  Cedar Village is always pleased to host this community event.  On Monday evening, we had a chance to visit with a number of you at Yom Ha'atzmaut at the J.  We had lots of interest in our display and even collected the names of some folks who would like to come out and volunteer at Cedar Village, which is wonderful!
 
Speaking of volunteers, we had a wonderful celebration of National Volunteer Week. More than 150 people joined us for lunch and to take part in a festive program. Volunteers bring us so much every day. They enhance the lives of our resident in countless ways, from helping with transportation to running Bingo, from birthday parties to discussion groups, from helping with transportation to bringing their dogs in for pet therapy. The volunteer opportunities here are limited only by your imagination. Do you want to work on art projects? We have a place for you. Is karaoke your passion? Share it with our residents and you can all enjoy together.
 
On Wednesday evening we had a Family Meeting to share information about our rehab expansion and Comfort Care. We had a small but interested crowd but would sure love to tell our story! If you would like to know more, feel free to get in touch with me. We can chat on the phone, you can set up a time to visit Cedar Village, you can pull together a group of friends and we can update you over coffee. Whatever works for you! Just email me at carol@cedarvillage.org and we would be happy to share.
