What a treat we have in store for you in November! In the Lakeside display cases we will walk down "Memory Lane," courtesy of Kirstin Oates, Human Resources Generalist. Kirstin is quite the shutterbug and has a vast collection of photos of residents and employees over the past ten years!
Kirstin created a theme for each shelf—some mark big events, such as the Fairway Grand opening, and some are simply beauty shots of the flowers and landscapes around us.
She was particularly creative in designing the way in which these dozens of photos are displayed. Using pencils, string, paper clips and other office supplies, the display takes an "industrial" approach that should give it some quirk and bring many smiles as we admire it all.
In Fairway’s display cases we feature a collection of pharmacy items owned by residents Richard and Aline Fox, of Hillside.
Richard was a pharmacist for 55 years and had his own shop in South San Francisco for 40 of those years. He has collected hundreds of items, including 50 mortal and pestle sets, which passersby may have noticed on the Fox’s first floor patio/balcony.
Some of the items are historic replicas (one from ancient Greece), some are commemorative, and some were really used by Richard over the years. The variety is outstanding and most interesting.
