JUBILATION !
I was overjoyed to learn of the abundant
generosity displayed during this year’s
Associate Christmas Fund gift effort. On
behalf of the associates, I wish to thank
residents, residents’ family members,
and the 2020 Christmas Fund Committee
for this incredible offering of thanks and
appreciation to our associates.
