We are deeply saddened about the passing of our friend, Gary who was with us for a short time. Though his stay was brief, he left a lasting impact at our branch. Our hearts go out to Gary’s family and friends during this difficult time.

Come on Down! A couple of residents played a fun game of The Price is Right using prices from the 1940s and today. The show premiered on this day in 1972.

On Labor Day, we recognized the remarkable careers of our residents and explored how far we've come. We celebrated by swapping hilarious work stories and remembering the good ol' days. We even dug up some punny job histories and occupations that are now extinct. To top it all off, we feasted on classic burgers and dogs!
