Message from Simone Rudich, Director of Activities Dear Family and Friends,
I hope you are all doing well and keeping safe during these trying times. My name is Simone Rudich, I am the new Director of Activities, here at New Jersey Eastern Star Home. I have years of experiences working in nursing homes, memory care assisted living, and various continuing care communities. I graduated from Gwynedd Mercy University with my bachelor’s degree in Gerontology and am currently in the process of earn my MBA. I am extremely grateful to be giving the opportunity to become a member of this community.
I wanted to reach out to introduce myself and to thank all of you and everyone for bringing in donations to contribute to our monthly Boutique. It is a monthly social event the residents are always looking forward to attending. Our Boutique days are scheduled to take place on the 4th Thursday of every month.
I am reaching out to see if you would be willing to help me spread the word around the community to see if anyone would be interested and willing to make some donations for the store this month, I would greatly appreciate it! Currently the residents expressed interest in finding more items such as Men’s and Women’s watches and clothing in the mix next month. (Women’s blouses from small-2xl / Men's tops and jackets from large to 2XL). Word search books and Sudoku puzzles are always a crowd pleaser! In addition, to our boutique day, I strongly believe that even as we get older, we should continue to encourage others and ourselves to strive in growth and personal capabilities. Here at New Jersey Eastern Star Home, we are interested in developing a variety of different programs some of which include music, art, horticulture, as well as taking part in community outreach organizations. I am reaching out to our community to ask if anyone is willing to donate supplies to help enrich our seniors through programming and more. As always, any donations are greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. Kindly, Simone Rudich Director of Activities New Jersey Eastern Star Home |
