Spring is finally here and we are so excited for the flowers to
bloom and the sun to shine. We have a special project that we are
starting at Rosewood and would love to have each of you participate. We will be publishing a cook book of Rosewood residents
and family recipes.
So where do we begin? Gathering recipes, of course!
We would LOVE for you to email your recipes and a short story
or memory with one of them. Submit as many recipes as you’d
like! Please email to Sara Ann at [email protected]
or drop off your recipe at the front desk with our receptionist,
Amy. Thank you!
We look forward to seeing you in April.
Connor Overbeek,
Executive Director
