March Birthdays In astrology, those born between March 1–20 are the Fish of Pisces. Fish feel things deeply, as in under-the-sea deep. These intuitive, creative, and intelligent people have strong feelings of right and wrong and also love to help others. Those born between March 21–31 are the Rams of Aries. As the first sign of the
zodiac, Aries like to be number one. Bold, courageous, passionate, and somewhat impulsive, Rams dive headfirst into even the most challenging situations.

GETTING TO KNOW
YOUR STAFF
Jacki Matali
What is your greatest memory?
Visiting Europe.
What do you like to do on your time
off? Play with the kids.
If you could switch careers for a day,
what would you choose and why?
I would be a teacher. I love to interact
with the children.
What is your favorite thing about
working at Potomac Place?
I love the residents! Helping them and
doing anything for them so they can
have a healthy life.
Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
Each year, March 20 is
celebrated as Won’t You
Be My Neighbor Day in
honor of the birthday of Fred
Rogers, everybody’s favorite
television neighbor. Rogers suffered a lonely
childhood and was often taunted about being
overweight. He overcame his shyness to
become a Presbyterian minister but left the
seminary to go into television. He hated TV
and wanted to transform it into a means of
nurturing those who would watch and listen.
Rogers was a natural when it came to
children’s broadcasting, using his talents to
develop puppets, music, and characters that
appealed to kids’ better natures. By the time
the show Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood
aired in 1968, he had mastered his use of
imaginative elements and the kind, quiet
manner that became his trademark.
Two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks brings
the late TV icon back to life in his new
movie, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, which debuted in October
2019. The film is based on an article titled
"Can You Say. . . Hero?" written by journalist
Tom Junod (played by The Americans Emmy winner Matthew Rhys), that centered
on the TV star Fred Rogers and the ensuing
friendship the two formed before Rogers’
death in 2003. It has received outstanding
reviews and got a whopping 95% certified
fresh on the website Rotten Tomatoes.
Our Community offers manicures every Tuesday from 2 to 4pm in
the afternoon. Please make an appointment with our Activity
Department for the time alloted.
Happy Hour Monday-Friday from
3:00-4:00pm
