Good new recreation director Feb 24 012

At this senior home I have worked ten months to start collecting money to replace eight trees destroyed by disease.  After making inquiries of staff, I visited a local bank, then I sent a letter to  our director and two other staff in 2011:

Do you need another purse? Or more ice cream? 

Has it occurred to give gifts

for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Birthdays, etc

that will be permanently useful to the residents?

Eight sheltering trees

between our home and XXX Road

have been cut down!

This means dirt, dust and noise reach us

relentlessly.

The  bank has offered to act as custodian

for a tree fund if families

want to donate in behalf of a resident.

Jane might act as agent and keep a list

Of contributors on the bulletin boards

….”From the family of:____________

in honor of his/her_________-”

Thursday last week I asked the new recreation director I shall name Jane, about my taking up this project again.  She came later with the reply, "The company will replace all those trees in the spring!"  This makes me very happy, and why did no one answer my queries last summer, before I went to the bank, etc.?
