I believe the Farmer’s Almanac was spot on when it said how frigid it would be
this winter, and boy has it been! This so called “polar vortex” that is pushing
the cold temperatures into our backyard is not just a winter storm but it’s the
coldest temperatures some states have seen in 20 years. So, remember to
bundle up with plenty of layers as it could just be twenty below!
The time has come and the Winter Olympic athletes are ready to compete. We
will have several of our own events, but they won’t include the frigid air that
Sochi has to offer. Our events will include winter Wii bowling with qualifying
rounds, freestyle shuffle board, biathlon bubble gum blowing, and the front
lobby short track trivia. We will also watch the opening ceremonies and learn
the rich history of the Winter Olympic Games.
If you venture out with us this month you will have the opportunity to visit
Horigans Pub for lunch, Libs Supper Club for dinner, Beeman’s in Sayre, PA,
and, Spencer’s Restaurant in Corning, NY. As always, we continue to offer
transportation to the Jubilee grocery store on Mondays, Wegmans and local
banks on Tuesdays, Wal-Mart on Wednesdays, and monthly visits to the
consumer square locations on Thursdays. Please see Marcie or Caitlin if you
have further questions or suggestions on the scheduled transportation
During Tuesday evening history classes, Mary will touch upon African
American arts, culture, religion, music, ancestry, and the origin of soul food as
a tie into Black History Month. We will also have the pleasure of watching our
very own resident, Alice Ballard; impersonate the historical figure. Mary
Jemison who was captured by a group of Native Americans in the 1750’s. She
married into the Indian tribe and was known as “the white woman of the
Senecas”. Mary is buried in Letchworth State Park where a statue has been
erected in her memory.
Calling All
Bridge Players Who
“Used to Play”
For all those residents who
used to play bridge now is
your chance to freshen up
on your skills! We will
welcome Pat Statelmeir on
February 25th for a “Bridge
Refresher Course” for any
residents who would like to
pick-up the game again.
This will be a very casual
gathering where you can ask
questions and feel at ease
while learning the game. If
you’d like to participate
please sign-up during the
first two weeks of February.
If we have enough interest
our goal will be to start a
beginner’s bridge group.
The World’s Greatest
Geological Wonders
On Mondays at 1:00 PM
learn about some of the
spectacular sites around the
world including Mount Fuji,
Galapagos Rift, African Rift
Valley, The Grand Canyon,
The Himalayas, and The
Amazon Basin just to name
a few. These wonders of
the world are sure to
enlighten you.
