WARD 10

January 2016 “Today carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change.” — Sarah Ban Breathnach

Greetings this new year...

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a very healthy, safe and prosperous New Year! As we move into 2016 please try to remember all the things we can be thankful for....friends, family, health care, freedom, food to eat, a roof over our head and knowing we are safe. I am excited to see all the wonderful additions to our community for the residents I serve each and everyday. Smile!! Happy New Year!
