Resident volunteers always ready to lend a hand Independent Living residents Shirley Richardson, Donna Imel and Donna Penner are always ready and willing to volunteer their time to whatever is asked of them. “We want to help in any way we can, and we like the pay,” said Donna. Recently, the “pay” they received for putting together referral packets was homemade banana nut bread baked by then Sales and Marketing counselor Joy Wiggins. “These ladies are always willing to lend a helping hand and I was always able to call on them when touring a new prospective resident by talking about their experiences living here at Manor of the Plains,” said Joy who left the Manor on March 31st. u
Thank you to all that attended and everyone who made it happen. We can’t wait until next year! u
