Mardi Gras Party with Mike Knauf and the Dixieland Jazz Cats
Tuesday March 1, 7:00-8:00 pm - Performing Arts Center
Three of Chicago's most established jazz musicians, the Cats bring the spirit
of New Orleans and Bourbon Street to The Garlands. We'll wear masks and
have hurricanes and pralines to accompany Dixieland jazz favorites and
swinging standards.
Progressive Dinner Party - RSVP *07
Sunday, March 13, 4:15 pm Champagne and Hors d’Oeuvres, 5:00 pm Soup and/or Salad; 6:00 pm Main
Course; 7:15 pm Coffee and Dessert; 8:00 pm Nightcap and Recap.
All you need to do is sign up to make or order six servings of one of the above courses (in bold) and set
your table for six people. If you sign up for the Soup/Salad or Main course, you would also provide wine to
accompany the course.
• If you don’t share a home, you can choose a buddy to host with or we can help pair you up.
• If you have mobility issues, no problem: let the Concierge know, and we’ll see to it that you
don’t have to go far.
That’s it: Activities handles everything else: the schedule, the map, Champagne and Hors d’Oeuvres, the
Nightcap, and ensuring that your part is stress free. Don’t love to cook these days? Order your course from the
Winslow or a restaurant you like. The consensus is: no one cares what is served or that you still have unpacked
boxes. All you need is a heart willing to share your table with four other Garlands members and your spirit
open to a fun, memorable evening.

Thinking About DISAPPOINTMENTS, by Member Karen Stathakis
I was thinking about disappointments after Covid hit three family members a few days before Christmas
and, suddenly, all our family celebrations were canceled. The disappointment was great – for all of us;
however, I didn’t want to stay in a place of disappointment too long. “Dis” is a negative prefix; it means not
or none, opposite. I’ve learned over time that it’s not healthy or beneficial to dwell too long on negative
thoughts or feelings. I can accept them for what they are, process them, and choose to have a mindset of
thinking, speaking and living in a way that is positive, encouraging and beneficial to myself and others.
For me, I chose to celebrate Christmas in my apartment by reading about the birth of Jesus in the Bible,
watching an online church service, listening to Christmas music and watching a few Christmas movies.
I loved watching some old family videos, especially the one acting out the Christmas story when my
grandkids were quite young. I enjoyed sharing some time with family on FaceTime. Yes, disappointments
happen! I pray as we process them, we will ultimately replace them with life-giving appointments and
gratitude for each day we are given.
Scriptures: Jeremiah 29:11; Psalm 34:18; Romans 8:28.
Songs: The Hope of Christmas; God Will Make a Way.
