Karnatz Korner — May

In ancient times, oracles would prophesy the future in mysterious terms through their high priests.  How fortunate we are to have a straight-on, up-front oracle who just tells it like it will be — The Words of the Sarah!

May 11 Campus Wide  Covid Break Out Walk    This is a Break Out, NOT an outbreak.  Time to lace up your walking shoes! We are going for a walk! No sign ups necessary, and no reservations required!

Who: All of us; each and every resident able to put one foot in front of another; and neighbors every one.
When: Wednesday, May 11 (9:00-12:00);  Memory Support Center to the Lake, up the lanes through The Village, across the Lower 40, and finish at the Manor — but start and end when and where you want.  Just keep in mind that Dining Services is serving lunch in the “pocket lot” outside the Auditorium. Seating will be available outside and in the Auditorium as well!

After two years of COVID, for our health, our spirits, and for fun; a morning given to ambling through campus; and every department that helps make RVM so special will have a presence along the route. Expect rest stops with staff, information, and goodies. Transportation will be running shuttles and Manor cars to assist the weary.
We need this, and you can do it your way; be a solo walker, or hoof it with friends; meet new residents who’ve only just moved to our beautiful campus; plan to relax, to amble, to walk-and-talk, and finish with a smile.  We’ll all be glad we did.
