With the help of a generous donor, Spring has certainly arrived at the Saul and Claribel Simkin Centre. These flowers were donated by a family of one of our residents. The dozen or so potted Spring flowers were left over from their function. After the function, they thought that maybe our residents would enjoy them, which they did. Walking through our Atrium you can smell the fresh scent. We appreciate this generous gesture. It isn’t the first time, though. Throughout the year, we’ve been given flower arrangements left over from weddings, socials, Bat Mitzvahs, Bar Mitzvahs, etc. The residents are so uplifted by the life these flowers give to the Centre. Please consider donating your flowers to the Centre next time you have a special event. The residents, families, staff, and visitors thank you.
