March 2017 Edition
We are already into our third month of the year and like the rest of
Holyoke, we are preparing for one of the largest in the country’s St
Patrick’s Day Parade Sunday March 19. Again, this year, members from
our center will be marching Organizing the parade is Jennifer Payette our
Admission department has reported that we have almost 20 partners and
some of their families walking with the Holyoke HealthCare Center team.
Please feel free to cheer for us as we march by you on the parade route, or
look for us on WBGY TV.
In other news, our rear parking lot will be closed for up to three (3)
days Wednesday March 8th through Friday and 10th as a trench will be
dug through the parking lot. As a result, a new generator will be placed in
the garden area just on the other side of the fence in the early spring. If
you have any questions regarding the job, please feel free to visit with me.
Thank you all who participated in our Valentine Balloon sale. Over 50
purchases were made! Your contributions supported our Resident Council
raising $250.00.
Respectfully Submitted,
Tom Accomando
