Steve Shields, former CEO of Meadowlark Hills, has invited us to visit and tour the new Piper Retirement Community located in Kansas City. The Piper was designed by Action Pact and developed and built by Assisted Living Associates, a partnership formed by  Action Pact, PAR Development and Clarkson Construction Company. The Piper is managed and operated by Action Pact Management, a subsidiary of Action Pact Holdings.

We will be departing from the Village Entrance at 9:15 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 19, and are scheduled to return to Manhattan by 3 p.m. We will tour the facilities and have a  chance to visit with some of Piper residents and staff. We will also be served lunch on campus.  A sign-up sheet is available in the Blue Book at the Hospitality Desk. Cost for transportation is $3.
