Breaking Bread Together

Pathfinder Village is a community in every sense, and one of its warmest traditions is the Residents’ Holiday Dinner.

On Tuesday evening, the residents gathered at the Meeting House for a beautiful turkey dinner.  The Food Service staff was ably assisted by staff from the Enrichment Department, Human Resources, and the Kennedy-Willis Center on Down Syndrome.  I believe the staff has as much fun preparing and serving the dinner as the residents do in eating it.  Of course, there was lots of visiting, with everyone checking with friends about wish lists and travel plans over the next few weeks.

In year’s past, the Holiday Dinner was served in shifts, as the Dining Room could only seat about half the Village at once.  With the addition of the Cortland Room to the Meeting House in 2008, it has been possible for entire community to “break bread together,” in one seating.  The donors who supported this project, plus the extensive renovations to the Central Kitchen, have given a great gift – that of fellowship – to the residents. 

Season’s Greetings to All!
