Irish Soda Bread

March 2017

The General Store

The activity department is starting a new and exciting monthly activity. Every time your loved one attends an activity in assisted living, they will be awarded a ‘Kelly Buck’. A ‘Kelly Buck’ is a fake dollar bill with Kelly Louk, our director, as the face of the bill. As our residents earn Kelly Bucks we will keep track on a list, as well as put the actual bills in a small purse for each resident. At the end of the month all residents with ‘money to burn’ will join the staff in the activity room to shop from our General Store.
