Hello… everyone…it sure is nice to see the sun and the bright blue sky today! I hope you

are enjoying it just as much.

The virtual reality activity seems to be a big hit. The next session is scheduled on

Thursday the 14th from 10:30am to 12:30pm. Please refer to the sign-up sheet located

on the activity bulletin board to reserve your time. Maybe that will be my opportunity

to try bungee jumping…providing I do not ‘chicken out’ at the last minute (again)!

Thank you, Tanya and Tim, for sharing this terrific experience with us. Given the

consistent interest, this may be something worthwhile for us to invest in.

Welcome Kitty R. and Lois L. to our community. It has been a pleasure getting to know

each of you while you chip away at settling in. Please lean on us as you acclimate to

the routine and culture as we are always here to help.

Another welcome goes out to Betty and Garth G. as they are introduced to their newly

constructed duplex later today. I can’t imagine a nicer day to become oriented to a

new home.

Thank you, Natasha and Vicki, for hosting fun-filled gatherings on Tuesday (Fat

Tuesday). I regret not being able to join the festivities and appreciated being included

via photos and texts!

As a reminder, Nichole Louis, “Nurse Nichole”, will be here on Wednesday the 13th at

1pm for those of you who would like to have your vitals taken and discuss your

health. She will be coming monthly and will be in the solarium.

SAVE THE DATE- The Clinton County Historical Association Announces

“A Virtual Tour of the Plattsburgh Barracks”

Monday, March 25, 2019, 6:30 pm

At Lake Forest Senior Living Community, 8 Lake Forest Drive, Plattsburgh, NY

Helen Allen Nerska, Director at the Clinton County Historical Association, will bring you

on a tour around the Old Plattsburgh Barracks Oval without leaving your chair. Most

buildings still remaining were built around the turn of the century and remain as

impressive reminders of our historic past. Bands played, troops marched, and dignitaries

visited, and boxing matches were regular events. The CCHA collection of photos will be

the focal point of the tour along with stories of the building histories. The Clinton

County Historical Association has one of the largest collections of photos from this era.

The event is a collaboration between the Lake Forest Senior Living Community and the

Clinton County Historical Association.

Here is the concert program for Vihan Wickramasinghe’s performance on

March 10, at 2pm

Canon in D………………………………………………………………………………………..Pachebel

Nuvole Bianche....................................................................................................Ludovico Einaudi

Memory…………………….................................................................................. Andrew Lloyd Weber

Waltz No. 3 in Eb Major..…............................................................................................ Vihan A.W.

Themes and Variations in D Minor............................................................................... Vihan A.W.

Starting next week in the congregate building, we will be testing all smoke

detectors, life net boxes, and heating/ptac units. Once the main building is

complete, the life net boxes, AC & heat and all smoke detectors will be

checked in the duplexes.

This is an ongoing reminder to keep the front end of your car off of the

sidewalk. This will allow for us to keep the sidewalks clean in a timely

manner, with less ice buildup. Also, please watch out for ice when there is a

light dusting of snow.

On Tuesday, Natasha made beignets (a French pastry) and
