This Month in History

1st March-American band leader Glenn Miller (1904-1944) was born in

Carilinda, Iowa. His music gained enormous popularity during the

1940's through recordings such as Moonlight Serenade and String of

Pearls. On December 15, 1944, his plane disappeared over the English

Channel while en route to Paris where he was scheduled to perform.

3rd March- Telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922)

was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. Bell and his father were involved in

teaching deaf persons to speak. Bell developed an interest in the vibrat-

ing membrane as a method of electrically transmitting sounds. His very

first sentence spoken on the newly invented telephone on March 10,

1876, was to his assistant, "Mister Watson, come here, I want you.

March 10, 1880 - The Salvation Army was founded in the United

States. The social service organization was first founded in England by

William Booth and operates today in 90 countries.

March 12, 1994 - The Church of England ordained 32 women as its

first female priests. In protest, 700 male clergy members and thousands

of church members left the church and joined the Roman Catholic

Church which does not allow women priests

Poem for March`

March wind is a jolly fellow

He likes to joke and play

He turns umbrellas inside out

And blows men’s hats away

He calls the pussy willows

And whispers in each ear

“Wake up you lazy little seeds”

Don’t you know that spring is here?

Manager’s Corner Hi

Thanks for those dates. I had one but not the other. Have put them in my diary!

Managers Corner:

We have said goodbye to Sarah who has been our Acting Manager for the past few months. I am sure you will

join me in wishing her well in her role within Wiltshire, but am sure we will see her again in the future.

I would like to introduce myself as your new General Manager. I have been a nurse for over 20 years (and a

Manager for longer!) and have worked in a variety of settings, both public and private, the NHS and Care

Homes, both within the UK and abroad. I have come from working in the Oxfordshire area so am very new to

Gloucestershire and will be commuting until I finalise a house move to the area (which I hope will be very

soon).

Thank you for making me feel so welcome already and I look forward to meeting the rest of the team (and I do

include all residents, staff and relatives/friends as the team). For those of you I have yet to meet please make

yourselves known to me when you see me. Please feel free to have a chat about any suggestions or ideas,

queries or concerns you have about your loved on or any aspect of the Home.

I look forward to meeting you all.

Angela Alder
