President’s Column Bubbler

President’s Column October 2021 Bubbler

Who would have thought that in October, 2021 that we would still be wearing face masks, social distancing, limited number of residents at an event, family members and friends unable to visit or participate in dining and other events. There has been some relaxing of the preventive measures but it is still very restrictive compared to pre-pandemic. I personally had not seen a family member since February, 2020 until May of this year. We need to continue our efforts to prevent any new cases of the virus, particularly because of the variants which have become a big issue.

This past week there were two events which were enjoyable and brought smiles on the faces of the many residents who participated. The Fountains Casino on Tuesday, playing Blackjack and Texas Hold’em Poker and the ‘Chuck Gillespie’ performance at the Happy Hour in the Bistro on Wednesday. It was great to see so many people enjoying themselves

We must all remember that through all of the pandemic period, the associates who work are here providing us residents with continued good service, working much of the time understaffed. Because of them, our safety and our needs are assured. Their tasks, whatever it may be, has had to continually change to adapt to changing guidelines to fulfill our needs. Let us continue to thank them and reward them through our Employee Gift Fund contributions. November 30th is the last date to accept contributions for this year’s fund.

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.”-Dr. Seuss

October 2021 Highlights

At 100, The National Park Service's Oldest Active Ranger Is Still Going Strong

Betty Soskin has accomplished a lot over the course of her life. She's been a published author, a songwriter-activist during the civil rights movement and a

businesswoman and now serves with the National Park Service — holding the title as the country's oldest ranger. Soskin was born in Detroit on Sept. 22, 1921. In 2004, Soskin officially became a park ranger, and is currently working at the

Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond, California.

Soskin's legacy will live on As a ranger, Soskin continues to leave a lasting impact on those around her — being honored for

her years of dedication and service. To celebrate her birthday, the park announced it will be giving out limited edition ink and virtual stamps honoring Soskin.

When can I get a COVID-19 vaccine booster? The goal is for people to start receiving a COVID-19 booster shot starting 8 months after they re-

ceived their second dose of an mRNA vaccine (either Pfizeror Moderna).

Is there a difference between a booster and covid-19 vaccine? The dosages are the same, but there's a small medical distinction.

If you have question please consult with your doctors.
