Meadowlark Hills is hosting the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce “Business After Hours” on Wednesday, April 9, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the Community Center. This is an excellent opportunity for chamber members and business owners from the Manhattan community to see all the perks and benefits that we get to enjoy every day here at Meadowlark Hills.
Anthropologists like to quote the saying, “it would not be a fish that would discover water.” In order to know more about ourselves and our culture, we have to encounter people who are very different from us. Anthropology is the study of humankind, past and present, that draws and builds upon knowledge from social and biological sciences, as well as the humanities and the natural sciences.
Q: Can residents be updated on the beneficiary for the Employee Jeans Day each month?
Each month employees have the opportunity to support a local philanthropy by donating a minimum of $1 to the chosen cause on the designated “Jeans Day.” Everyone who makes a donation on the designated day may wear jeans to work that day, hence the name “Jeans Day.” This initially started about a year and a half ago to support a fellow employee who was battling Leukemia. Each month, a new beneficiary is chosen to be the recipient of the money raised through these Jeans Days.
The Meadowlark Hills Library is now offering various movie rentals. Movies can be checked out the same way a book would be checked out by filling out your personal library index card and cataloging it alphabetically in the library card box. Please place returned movies in the green basket by the fireplace. A member of the Library Committee will return them to the shelves.
If you have DVDs that you would like to donate to the Library, please drop them off at the Hospitality Desk. No VHS tapes, please.
Registration for the semi-annual pool tournament is now open until Monday, April 7. A sign-up sheet can be found in the Billiards Room. Tournament play will begin Tuesday, April 8.

Q: What is “Bracketology”?
submitted by Ashley Green
Hello sports fans! I have hijacked the Ask Annie column for the week as she is preparing to head off on a family vacation. Perfect timing for me because March is one of my favorite months, not only because days are growing longer and the weather is getting warmer, but because of March Madness!
Q. Each year Easter seems to fall on a random Sunday. How is this Sunday determined?
This is a great question as Easter seems to sneak up on us every year no matter how early or late it falls!
Anahi Sosa is in her senior year at Kansas State University. She is majoring in Art with an emphasis in Photography. Anahi is currently working on a Bachelor of Fine Arts Show, for partial fulfillment of her degree, to be displayed at the end of the spring semester. For this project she would like to use photography as a form of expressing the world and a clearer expression of what she sees in other people.
This is where she needs our help! She is looking for interested persons that would be willing to be photographed and have their photos displayed in her art show.
