Last Friday had a typical beginning: alarm clock, squashing a cockroach or two, breakfast, shaving and dressing, and reviewing my list of things-to-do-today. Fellow travelers on the short-term-memory-loss trail will relate to that list-checking ritual.
The first item of business was (at his request) to drop off at our CEO's office my final recommendations for growing (as a surreptitious cash crop) a small patch of Cannabis in a remote spot on campus.

Friday, April 8, there will be a company bringing a lift to work on the soffit right over the Village Entrance. This will block the drive in to the Front Lobby for most of the day. Maintenance encourages everyone to use the West and Breezeway Entrances while this is being completed.

Thank you for your continued support of Prairie Star Restaurant and for me in my role as the Support Services Director. One of the things I love most about working at Meadowlark Hills is the always-present opportunity to openly share feedback, suggestions, appreciation and even the occasional concern.
Can we do it all?
Meadowlark Hills is each resident’s home. The organization strives to provide high-quality care and customer service for those who live at Meadowlark Hills while creating a welcoming and comfortable environment an individual can call home and staff can take pride in their work.
But is Meadowlark Hills always able to take care of any resident needs? The short answer is no – not if the clinical acuity of a resident is too high for a skilled nursing or transitional care facility to manage.
Earth Day, April 22, 2016, is a great day for the Manhattan, Kansas community when the 4th Annual Grow Green Match Day will take place. On that day, donations made through the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation to participating nonprofit agencies will receive a 50% match that can be used for their most crucial needs.
Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, “A Grand Night of Singing” at Quality Hill Playhouse and lunch/shopping at Webster House. Kansas City, Mo., has much to entice visitors, so plan now to join Monte Spiller and Becky Fitzgerald when we travel in May to the City of Fountains.
A three-day, two-night adventure is planned for Tuesday, May 10 through Thursday, May 12, and speaking of water features, a guided tour of some of the city’s fountains is on our itinerary, too!
It’s all about communication!
Communication is important for any relationship, professional or personal, to be successful. However, in our fast-paced world, it is sometimes hard to communicate as often or thoroughly as is required.
Attention Meadowlark Travelers! Thank you to those of you who took time to complete a travel survey. After reviewing your responses, Monte Spiller and Becky Fitzgerald have begun planning trips to Kansas City and the Grapevine, Texas, area. It’s possible we’ll be going to Kansas City in early or mid-May, and as the survey indicated, the Grapevine, Texas, tour will likely be scheduled for early December. Please stay tuned!
