And for the first time in my lifetime I can say the CUBS are in the World Series. But for many of our residents and their family members they may have stories or memories of some of the previous successes of the CUBS. It is a great subject to reminisce with our residents.

In 1907, the Cubs won 107 games and dominated the National League. That year they met Ty Cobb and the Detroit Tigers in the World Series, beating them soundly, 4-1, for the franchise’s first World Series championship. At the time a tie was replayed the next day from the beginning but counted in the series score, so officially the series was not a sweep.

In 1908 the Cubs went on to the World Series, where they defeated the Tigers once again, this time four games to one, for their second consecutive World Series championship.

In the 1932 World Series, Babe Ruth again torched the North Siders, though this time with his bat, when he led New York in a series in which he hit his famous “called shot” home run in Chicago during Game 3. The Yankees then went on to a four-game sweep of the CUBS.

The CUBS won the 1935 pennant and played in the 1935 World Series where they fell to Hank Greenberg’s Detroit Tigers in a hard fought, 6 game series.

The 1938 season the CUBS fell to the Yankees in the 1938 World Series. And that has been the last time the CUBS have made it to the World Series until now.

We have had some amazing players on this team like Billy Williams, Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, Ryne Sandberg, Mark Grace, Sammy Sosa, Andre Dawson, Greg Maddux, Fergie Jenkins and Kerry Wood all have left their mark on the game and certainly Chicago.

As I write this the first game of the 2016 World Series hasn’t started yet but I know all over the Chicagoland area, our nursing facilities, and the County there are people singing loudly and proudly… GO CUBS GO

“Breast Cancer Awareness Month at the Park!”

“Think Pink” was the slogan at Park House for the month of October and fundraising was the name of the game. Park House had several events to raise money to aid in the fight for a cure. Nyeka Williams, DON, spearheaded the project and Johnnie Williams, Activity Director hosted each fundraiser. Employees were also able to purchase pink by giving a dollar for ribbons, pens and bracelets. On behalf

of the employees at Park House, donations were split between Pink Dolphins and the National Cancer Awareness Foundation. This was an especially important event for Park House, since two of our employees have fought and won a battle with breast cancer! Nicole Redmond, CNA, and Jessica Lee, Receptionist. Nicole Redmond fought the battle twice and won! She sold t-shirts at Park House for her group” Pink Dolphins” for the “Breast Cancer Awareness Walk.” On October 22, 2016. Nicole, her family, and LaCrista Myles, Business Development Director all walked in support of Nicole and everyone else that have fought the fight! You

Dietary week was lots of fun! Our dietary staff had a tailgate party and wore they favorite team jerseys and caps.The week of celebration was closed out with a very nice sit-down dinner. On “Bosses Day”, the whole team surprised the Administrator Mike Hunter with an

Oktoberfest is one of the top celebrations we host here at Prairie Manor and look forward to many more of these celebrations in the future.
