LAKESIDE NEWS FROM THE SPIRES
A NOTE FROM OUR TEAM
Dear Friends,
Gorgeous fall weather has arrived and the heat and humidity of the summer have finally dissipated. As I marvel at the beauty all around me, I like to focus on all the blessings around us. Most particularly, this Veterans Day, my thoughts turn to those who have sacrificed so much for so many.
I am deeply grateful to our veterans for their service and sacrifice, for the commitment they made to preserve and protect our country and defend it against all enemies -- foreign and domestic. What a monumental task!
This Veterans Day, in addition to picnics and football, please join me in honoring our veterans in whatever way is most meaningful. We have dozens of veterans who will be living at The Spires, so please enjoy this blog featuring four Spires residents, our nation’s finest.
Please mark your calendar and join us as we celebrate the sights and sounds of the season at The Spires at Berry College. We have some fabulous events planned and they are even more special when YOU are present. Bring a friend, bring your family; the more the merrier.
Warm regards,
Monika Lawrence,
Director of Marketing
The Spires at Berry College
PS: Laurie Steber, our new Executive Director starts this month! If you haven’t met Laurie yet, please take the opportunity to introduce yourself and wish her a warm welcome. Laurie.Steber@retireatberry.com
NEW DRONE FOOTAGE!
We hope you enjoyed watching this latest footage as much as we did! Please remember that this is now an active construction site and, for safety reasons, we've been asked to refrain from visiting the area. Video cameras are actively recording activity and trespassing on the site. We will continue to post drone footage on a regular basis to keep you informed and up to date.
