Or Current Resident

Dear Members,Time to begin again! I once asked a group of seniors if there was a time when one’s decisions were complete and one could simply live life. They laughed. Life always presents choices, and I long ago abandoned the quest for the “right” choice and opted to pray for help making good choices instead.

I believe joining the staff at Dickinson Hall to be one of my most recent good choices! Our beautiful building and grounds set the scene for

a community rich with experience and friendship. I imagine the seasons here to be marked with laughter and vibrancy. As I learn my way, our members have graciously welcomed me and given me their names multiple times, which I hope to eventually, remember.

I see Dickinson Hall as a great foundation on which to build a wider welcome to new members and friends. I look forward to making decisions together as we begin our new season of life.

Patty Jenkins
