Today, we are headed to Presque Isle State Park for a fishing trip with the SONS of Lake Erie! This is an example of the types of outings we enjoy using our Resident Transport Van. Our van has been a reliable part of many fun adventures, and we're now in the process of saving to purchase a new one. Erie Gives on Tuesday, August 11th, is a great opportunity to help us reach our $20,000 fundraising goal for this year. Please consider making a donation to the Pleasant Ridge Manor Friends Forever volunteers organization during Erie Gives!
The simple answer is YES! Erie Gives is a way for our great community to donate as little as $25 to their favorite nonprofits. This 12 hour, online giving platform allows donors to find nonprofits that closely align to the missions of those nonprofits in our area. There are many to choose from.
Erie Gives is more than a fundraiser. It is a chance to highlight what our Volunteers, the Friends Forever, do on a daily basis for our residents. This year, we started a multi-year campaign to raise funds to replace one of our Resident Transport vans. Though a 2019, our Activities Van has seen many, many miles and even more smiles. We use this van to transport folks to doctors and clinics, dialysis and specialist appointments. But our favorite outing is with our Activities Team out and about lunching and lounging at area attractions multiple times a week; all year long! We'd love your support.
We would like to acknowledge someone special today. Donny Toombs is one of our retirees from our East facility's Dietary Team. Don faithfully comes to visit a friend and wanted to do something nice in honor of him. So he took on the complete tear down and rebuilding of one of our courtyard areas. He weeded, mulched, dug things up, replanted, and put a whole lotta love into the project. Today is Donny's birthday so our Friends Forever were happy to present to him a birthday card with a couple of gift certificates to his favorite spots. Happy birthday, Donnie! Thank you!
A small group took a ride to a local beach for some fresh air, good vitamin D, and a great grilled lunch courtesy of our Chef-Driver, Dennis!
How many of you actually remember the month of May?! Seemed like it rained from start to finish and now it's nearly June!
