Peachtree Inn SOUTH AMERICAN GROUP On Saturday, July 6, Shoshanna Fineman, Alvin Fineman’s granddaughter, brought a group from South America to visit the residents. They were just learning to speak English. One member of the group is a “salsa” instructor. Our residents asked them to perform. A special “thank you” to Mallory for participating in the dance. Also, a very special “thank you” to my favorite dancer, Shirley Rayburn, who always participates. NEW RESIDENT Welcome to our new resident, Gertrude Carson. Most of you may recognize her from playing bridge with Ralph for years. Please help her find her way around the building. LUNCH OUTING Our residents took a trip to Minerva. They ate at Grinders restaurant, then visited the Cheese Factory. Several residents got ice cream for the bus ride home.
