What's New at
Poet's Seat Health Care Center
We hope that everybody is enjoying Spring. The weather is glorious, isn't it? Our first annual Decorate-a-Pancake-with-the-Bunny Community Breakfast on March 20 went wonderfully! The residents loved having their families as well as folks from the community visit their Poet's Seat home to celebrate Easter. It was an exciting morning filled with happy children, their grownups, AND scrumptious pancakes.

Here's what's happening...

Celebrate Elders! -- A Quilt Exhibit Sponsored by Franklin County Home Care
Poet's Seat's residents are thrilled to have their handmade quilt included in this lovely traveling quilt show created by Franklin County Home Care Corporation (FCHCC). Our residents created the quilt as a centerpiece for our float featured at the Franklin County Fair Parade last September. The exhibit is on display right now at Wilson's Department Store in downtown Greenfield.

We have many daily and weekly resident activities. Some of our most looked-forward-to ones would not be possible without our wonderful Poet's Seat volunteers! As a big thank you, we are throwing a Volunteer Reception. Everyone is welcome to celebrate our volunteers with us.

Walk for Meals on Wheels
Please consider supporting Meal on Wheels by making a contribution to the Poet's Seat Team at the Walk for Meals on Wheels. The Walk is taking place at the Franklin County Technical School in Turners Falls. We have a number of employees who would love to help the cause. A little help from our friends would go a long way. If you'd like to sponsor our team for any amount (ALLmoney goes to Meals on Wheels), CLICK HERE.
Meals on Wheels provides 150,000 nutritious noontime meals a year to physically-challenged Franklin County elders in their homes! Drivers also provide a visual check to assure elders are safe so that caregivers have peace of mind. Help support Franklin County Home Care Corporation's (FCHCC)important program by supporting our team or getting your own walking team together! Thanks so much.

Good Wishes,
