Forestview Senior Village

We come as strangers, live as friends
Dear Friends,
Its a brand New Year here at Forestview!
The close of 2015 saw us welcoming new friends,
gathering together to celebrate each other as
family, and of course relishing joyous and safe
holidays with our loved ones.
I want to personally thank each one of you for
your continued help and support in my short
time herealready feels like home, and I
couldnt have done it without you!
We have *amazing* things happening already in
2016 check out our new calendar! From a
walking club to coloring hour, monthly movie
themes with 2 showings per week, and new game
sessions of Pictionary and Trivial Pursuit,
were on track to really get things going
and get everyone involved!
(As always, feel free to toss any suggestions our way.)

Heres to a happy, healthy New Year where we value

and promote total wellness: mind, body and spirit!
Cheers, Melissa

Safety

Now that the snow is finally upon us, just a reminder

about key safety points around the property;

There is snow melt available in the front

vestibule. Please use sparingly, a little goes a long way .
Use extra care on the sidewalks and parking lots.
We have a great snow removal team, but using extra caution is always a good idea.
Remember to make sure all auxiliary entrances are shut tightly, (sometimes snow gets in the way.)
Please remember: If you ever have a slip and fall outside, call 911 immediately and let them
know you are outsideits not just a normal Lift assist. Sitting in the snow can cause
hypothermia, among other major health and safety concerns.

Lets have a happy and safe 2016!

Potluck

Our monthly potluck will be resuming in

January. The date for January will be Monday,
January 26th at 4:30pm. Watch the bulletin
board in the mail room for more details.

Birthdays

Who doesn't love birthday cake?

We are starting a new program to

celebrate birthdays here at Forestview and
there is no better time to begin than in January
of the new year! Everyone deserves to feel
special on their birthday. We will be coming together once a month to
recognize all who have a birthday in each month. Everyone is invited to
join us at every birthday party and have some cake.

Trash Rooms

In order to keep our trash rooms orderly

and sanitary, please be SURE TO:

Break down all boxes AND take them

outside to the dumpster.

Nothing is to be left in the trash rooms on

the 2nd and 3rd floors, please use the chute.
(If recycling, please take those items to the 1st floor trash room.)

To dispose of all plants put them in plastic bags, tie them up and
place them in the TRASH, not recycling.

Please do not put loose trash in the bins in the garbage room.
All trash must be in bags, tied up tightly.

When sending trash down the chute, be sure to tie bags tightly so they don't let
trash out when they land in the bins on the 1st floor.

All large pieces of furniture or household items must be dealt with on a case by
case basis for removal. Please do not depose of large items in the dumpster. If you
need assistance, please call the office.

Snowy winter, beautiful winter
Snow covered valleys, trees and bushes
The road is not visible, but I walk
Covered with blanket and a woolen cap
Snowy winter it is great
Nature plays its role as usual
The milk vendor in his usual busy
The bell he rang in streets so loud
The women slowly shows their head
In her hand the milk pots in care
Snowy winter, beautiful winter
World is covered with white snow there
Greatness of water shrinking in snow
The river shown its beauty for us
Flowing with a reluctance in cold
Showing the mist in top of the river.
