On Saturday, April 15th we host our Annual
Family Easter Celebration at 10am in the dining
room. For those of you new to the Terrace, you do not want
to miss this event! We encourage the residents and the staff
to invite your kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, and kids of
all ages to attend. We’ll give away “goodie bags” to each
child and set-up areas for music, games, crafts, coloring
and Easter Egg dyeing. We’ll have our caricature artist
back, and the Easter Bunny will be here to paint faces and
make animal balloons. Also, Hezekiah will once again put
out a spread of food and drinks for your enjoyment that’ll
have you talking until our next family Easter Party. Lastly,
we’ll end the party with an Easter Egg Hunt! We’ll have
prizes for the girl and boy who finds the most eggs, and
we’ll have a grand prize for whomever finds the GOLDEN
EGG. Should the weather not cooperate, the hunt will still
take place indoors. Please note that space in the dining
room is very limited for this event, so we may have to
utilize the courtyard.

On Easter Sunday, April 16th at 11:45 am we’ll have our Annual Easter
Brunch with Debra Lieb on the piano. We look forward sharing this special Holiday
with you, so we can create more special memories like you’ll see in the photos below
and throughout the Terrace Talk.
• Thursday, April 13th–Depart: 11:00am–Picnic on the ‘Hooch–Join us for a relaxing

salad. Lunch costs $9 and will be charged to your monthly statement if you sign-up.

• Thursday, April 20th–Depart: 10:00am–Tour the Atlanta Beltline with Jim
We try and send out information about telephone and internet scams every so
often. Most recently one of our residents received a telephone call on her cell phone.
This resident had a caregiver who answered the telephone. The gentleman said he was
the resident’s grandson, and asked to speak to the resident by saying he needed to
speak to his grandparent. Once the resident was on the telephone, the gentleman said
he had been in an accident and was now in jail. He needed money right away. When
the resident commented that the gentleman didn’t sound like her grandson, he said
his nose had been broken in the accident. By this time, the caregiver realized that this
was a scam. She managed to get the telephone number off the caller ID and then
called the police.
David Brooks sent out a memo last year about telephone scams. He reminded all
of us about “cold call scams” and unwanted solicitation. If you receive calls from
someone asking for your information while identifying themselves as being a
representative of AT&T, Comcast, Microsoft, etc., they may tell you they can save you
money or that your computer has a virus. None of this is true. You will never receive a
“cold call” from a reputable organization asking for your information. These calls are
from scammers that are trying to get your information. If you receive one of these
calls, hang up. If they call back, do not answer, and let someone on the Terrace staff
know or your family if they persist.
I would like to welcome all the new residents. As always, my door is open, so feel
free to stop by and chat or share a concern.

Howe–The last time we went on this tour all we saw was sites of a newly proposed 22
-mile city loop, and we learned how leaders planned to upgrade old neighborhoods.
Now, Jim will show you how those same areas have been developed, and it will blow
you away, as the Beltline has become quite the Atlanta success story!

Donna and Mike Catania are the only brother/sister employees on the staff at
Saint Anne's. Children of the same father with different mothers, Donna is the older
by 16 years. Both happily remember childhood on the Jersey Shore where their father
worked at the amusement park near the boardwalk, and they got to ride all the rides
for free. Mike says proudly, "We were Boardwalk People." They happily recall that
their father traced his Italian heritage to the northern Italian town of Bari, the
birthplace of his grandmother. Sadly, he died when Donna was 27 years old, and Mike
was only 1 1.
Donna moved to Virginia where she was briefly married to a man who tragically
died of cancer. Mike joined her in Virginia after he finished high school in New Jersey.
This is where the world becomes a tiny place, and the Saint Anne's connection enters
their lives. Donna met J.B. Stow, the grandson of our resident Betty Stow, and when
he suggested a move to Atlanta, Donna and Mike came along. Today, Donna and J.B.
live in Decatur, and Mike boards with Betty Stow's son Tom and his wife Beth.
Before he came to Saint Anne's, Mike had worked in an assisted living facility.
Now most of us know him as a waiter in the dining room where he has worked for a
year and a half. When not in our dining room, he helps out wherever he can at Tom
Stow's home and office. He loves computers and remembers a time in high school
when he had to learn to take a computer apart and put it back together. Needless to
say, his favorite hobby happens to be video games. He enjoys living with the Stow
family and especially enjoys their two dogs.
Donna joined him here a year ago after working in the office of Kiwi Carpets as a
technician 's assistant. Today we all know her as our night desk receptionist and
member of the courtesy team. She also stands by to help with TV problems , cell
phones and wherever needed. At home she enjoys her two dogs and two cats and
makes her version of pizza/spaghetti sauce from scratch, using no ready-made bottle
brands. Her definition of "real pizza" is that it must have thin crust and be foldable
with the toppings running out. She also loves movies and shopping with friends.
Both sister and brother are great at learning the names of residents and answer
any request with big smiles. Mike puts it this way, "We just love being here. We truly
love you all."

Want to see more articles like this? Who else would you like to find out about among
the Terrace family? It can be resident, staff or Board Member. Check out the bulletin
board for more information about this article and let us know on the sign-up sheet
about who you would like to read about next.
You may have read the article in the latest AARP
bulletin, “50 Proven Things to Add Years to Your Life.”
Number 37 on that list is READ! “Scientific research
supports the longevity benefits of reading…As little as a
half-hour a day of book reading had a significant survival
advantage over those who did not read.” Just saying!
• The Woman Next Door, Yewande Omotoso,
fiction, 2016
We all read about Ove, the curmudgeon, and
decided we loved him despite his faults. Now we have
Hortensia and Marion who live side-by-side and who
love to hate each other. Their favorite activity is to annoy
each other to the point of violent argument. Then they
are happy.
Follow their lives as they each meet unexpected happenings, and see how
they cope. Some comments about this book:
“This book made me howl with laughter and it made me cry.”
“…this enlightening and eloquent novel serves as a testament to a truth that
we seldom hear: through honest exchange, it is possible for us to free ourselves
from the terrible hauntings of history.”
• REMINDER: Most of you know that the library will be closed for the month of
May while we are being given new and more wonderful surroundings. For you
avid/fast readers, I suggest that you check out several books that you know you
want to read and have them available during the month. As you finish reading
them, you may bring them by my apartment, #218, and I’ll check them back in for
you. If I am not there, you may leave them by my door. Also, I plan to take some of
the newer and more popular books to my apartment to have on hand in case you
run out of something to read and become desperate. I will also be cataloging new
books as they come in, and they, too, will be available. I will try to post a list of the
books I have, especially the new ones, so you will have that information.
Contact me with any questions or suggestions. Apartment 218, phone
404-539-5450 Can’t wait to see what our new area will look like!
Happy Reading!

Be on the lookout for some fun with our young
friends from the Day School in April. The All-Stars
(kindergartens) will be joining us for a few fun events this
month starting on April 1oth at 10:00am, they have been
kind enough to give us a guided tour of their fantastic
facility. We’ll meet in the lobby at 9:45am and walk over
for the tour. All are welcome to join us for what promises
to be a fascinating tour.
The very next day, on April 11th at 10am, the All-Stars will be coming in small
groups to have a sit-down Q & A with several residents. We currently have 3 coming to
spend time with the kids, but need two more volunteers to join them. It’ll be a fun
morning of sharing stories with a small group of kids. Please let David know if you are
interested.
Another big event is a special Craft Day with the AllStars on April 19th at 10:30am. The All-Stars have
planned out a day full of fun! Some of you may
remember all the fun we had through the clay and art projects we’ve done with them in the past, but this time will
really take the cake! We’ll set up the Activities room into
several stations with a teacher at each station to provide
help (1. Legos 2. Clay 3. Collage & Design). Don’t miss
your chance to come on down and participate in all the
fun with this wonderful group of kids!
An eighty year old woman was getting married for the
fourth time. A newspaper was interviewing her about her previous
marriages. She said she got married the first time in her 20’s to a
banker. Then, in her 40’s she married a three ring circus leader.
Then in her 60’s she married a preacher. And now she's marrying
a funeral home director.
When the reporter asked her to some up her marriage
experiences the lady replied, when I look back at my previous
marriages, I see one for the money, two for the show, three to get
ready, and four to go.

Tired of the hassle of going to the grocery store?
Tired of carting your groceries to your apartment? Are you
a little jealous of those who are getting their groceries
delivered? Ever wonder how they are getting such services?
Check out Instacart! Go online to www.instacart.com to
find out details about how you can sign-up to shop online
and have your items delivered from stores such as Publix,
Kroger, Whole Foods Market, Costco and Petco.

Calling all Men! Calling all Men! There has been
some interest in restarting our Men’s group. A few
years ago we had a men’s group who would go out to
lunch once a month and play an occasional cardgame.
This month we’re asking for all the men of the Terrace
to join us for some fun as we’ll host a Men’s Texas
Hold’em Game with snacks and refreshments on
April 24th at Noon in Activities. Buy-ins start at
$2. If you don’t know how to play don’t worry, we’ll hold a quick tutorial before the
betting begins!

Ever need a little extra help with your Ipad, tablet or smart
phone? Coming soon, we will begin a partnership with Brooke
Rosenthal, a neighborhood resident and mother of four who has
started a company by the name of Modern Elders, which offers
an array of technological services to the senior community. She
helps with such things as Smartphones, tablets, iPads, laptops
and much, much more. Her mantra is that she recognizes that
new technology can be challenging to learn, and she wants to
share with others that keeping current can help us all age with
dignity. Stay tuned to the bulletin board and weekly schedule for
information on an upcoming seminar where you’ll get to know Brooke, and you’ll
be able to bring your device down and ask questions. If you are in immediate need
of Brooke’s services in the future, see David for details.
