APRIL<br />

It’s planting time!<br />

To reserve a resident<br />

garden bed, call<br />

Steven Dunn, ext. 1252.<br />

Love flowers but can’t dig<br />

in the dirt like you used to?<br />

<strong>Arbor</strong> <strong>Acres</strong> can help.<br />

1) Schedule a time for<br />

<strong>Arbor</strong> <strong>Acres</strong> to plant your<br />

annuals by calling Steven<br />

Dunn at ext. 1252.<br />

2) Purchase your annuals<br />

after you’ve made your<br />

appointment.<br />

It’s tempting to buy those<br />

bright blooms the minute<br />

they’re available, but resist<br />

the urge! Flowers stand a<br />

better chance of surviving if<br />

you purchase close to your<br />

scheduled planting date.<br />

The <strong>Arbor</strong> <strong>Acres</strong> grounds<br />

crew looks after the entire<br />

campus, but watering and<br />

maintenance of your own<br />

flowers are up to you.<br />

<strong>You</strong> <strong>Say</strong> <strong>Tomato</strong><br />

At the end of Cokesbury Drive, on<br />

a flat piece of land adjacent to the<br />

Children’s Home farm, lies an area<br />

reserved for resident garden beds.<br />

Each spring, <strong>Arbor</strong> <strong>Acres</strong> tills the beds<br />

so that interested residents can plant<br />

whatever kind of garden they want.<br />

A water spigot and hose are close by,<br />

and a community shed<br />

houses all sorts of tools<br />

that anyone can use. “We<br />

prep, you plant, you pull<br />

weeds,” smiles Les Cranfill,<br />

Director of Building and<br />

Grounds.<br />

Clark Hunt has lived at<br />

<strong>Arbor</strong> <strong>Acres</strong> 25 years, and has had a<br />

resident garden bed for 24. He and<br />

his wife Elaine grew vegetables and<br />

took great joy in sharing them. “One<br />

year we kept track of the number of<br />

tomatoes we gave away,” says Clark,<br />

“and it was over 400!” After Elaine<br />

died, Clark continued working his plots<br />

alongside other residents who shared<br />

his passion. “We enjoyed each other’s<br />

company,” he says. “It became a<br />

fraternity of gardeners.”<br />

While Clark loves raising veggies, he<br />

insists that it’s resident Walt Henley<br />

who is the master gardener. Walt<br />

grew up on a farm and has been<br />

gardening most of his life. At <strong>Arbor</strong><br />

<strong>Acres</strong> he grows cucumbers, lettuce,<br />

beans and tomatoes - lots of tomatoes,<br />

most of which he gives away. “When<br />

it’s tomato season, you get a lot of<br />

friends,” Walt laughs, “but that’s one<br />

reason I love gardening - Anne and<br />

I enjoy home-grown vegetables and<br />

by offering them to others, so can<br />

our neighbors who aren’t able to<br />

raise their own.”<br />

If you’re looking for Odell and<br />

Martha Beroth during growing<br />

season, look no further than the<br />

garden patch. They’re there a<br />

lot, and it shows in their bumper<br />

crops of peppers, squash,<br />

and of course, tomatoes,<br />

which, like Clark and Walt,<br />

they give away. “I can’t stand<br />

not to garden,” says Martha,<br />

as she sits beside a pillow<br />

proclaiming “Gardeners have<br />

the best dirt,” and nods in<br />

agreement as Odell explains that<br />

they both love to see things grow.<br />

Clark echoes the sentiments of<br />

many when he describes gardening<br />

as a kind of miracle. “<strong>You</strong> put in a<br />

seed that looks lifeless and in due<br />

time, a plant grows and produces<br />

something,” he muses. “It’s a lot<br />

like people.”<br />

If you are interested in tending your<br />

own resident garden bed, please<br />

call Steven Dunn, ext. 1252.


People are hungry. <strong>You</strong> can help.<br />

Hunger Awareness Month benefits<br />

Crisis Control Food Pantry<br />

Can you imagine the<br />

despair of being hungry<br />

- really hungry - and<br />

not knowing where<br />

your next meal is coming<br />

from?<br />

Can you imagine<br />

starting the day on an<br />

empty stomach which<br />

still isn’t filled once you<br />

try to go to sleep that<br />

night?<br />

Can you imagine having<br />

to live that way - as a<br />

child?<br />

Appalling as it sounds,<br />

more than 50 million<br />

Americans don’t eat<br />

because they don’t<br />

have food. In the Piedmont<br />

Triad alone, one<br />

in five children goes<br />

hungry.<br />

April is Hunger Awareness<br />

Month at <strong>Arbor</strong><br />

<strong>Acres</strong>. Designated as<br />

such by your Resident<br />

Council, these next 30<br />

days will be filled with<br />

events to support Crisis<br />

Control Ministry’s Food<br />

Pantry. We encourage<br />

everyone to get<br />

involved, especially<br />

by filling the blue bins<br />

around campus as<br />

much and as often as<br />

possible with non-perishable<br />

food items.<br />

In our first Hunger<br />

Awareness Month last<br />

year we raised over<br />

$5,800.00 for Crisis<br />

Control’s Food Pantry.<br />

That’s enough to help<br />

929 people with over a<br />

week’s worth of food.<br />

We also collected<br />

over 1,270 food items,<br />

enough to serve 60<br />

people over a 7 -10<br />

days period.<br />

This year your donations<br />

go even further<br />

through the Feinstein<br />

Foundation challenge<br />

(see below.)<br />

How to Give<br />

• Fill-a-Sack with nonperishable<br />

food,<br />

then place in designated<br />

blue bins in<br />

Berrier Front Lobby,<br />

Mary Dalton Library,<br />

and Asbury Place.<br />

• Write a check and<br />

drop in yellow box<br />

outside the library.<br />

area. Make checks<br />

payable to: Crisis<br />

Control Ministry.<br />

Double your<br />

donation. Write<br />

Feinstein Challenge<br />

in memo line.<br />

Matching Gift Challenge<br />

Look for this symbol<br />

designating Hunger<br />

Awareness events.<br />

For the sixteenth year, the Feinstein Foundation of<br />

Cranston, RI, has established a $1 million challenge<br />

grant to help anti-hunger agencies around the country.<br />

Every dollar and food item donated increases<br />

Crisis Control Ministry’s share of the challenge<br />

funds. Make sure you note “Feinstein Challenge” on<br />

the memo line of your check.

What is NCCCRA?<br />

It is all of us.<br />

The North Carolina Continuing Care Residents<br />

Association is a non-profit organization comprised<br />

of members who have one thing in common:<br />

they all live in a continuing care retirement<br />

community.<br />

The NCCCRA has three goals:<br />

• to further the interests of residents<br />

• to act as a watchdog for legislation of concern<br />

to residents<br />

• to advocate for and support legislation positively<br />

affecting residents’ interests<br />

More than 90 such communities, including <strong>Arbor</strong><br />

<strong>Acres</strong>, have representatives who serve on<br />

NCCCRA’s board. We are fortunate that Carolyn<br />

Vaughn is our representative.<br />

To many of you the name “Nancy Spencer “ is synonymous<br />

with style, elegance, and creativity. Nancy,<br />

orginally from Mississippi, has lived in Winston-Salem<br />

for over 50 years, and<br />

has devoted much of<br />

her energy to creating<br />

beautiful gardens.<br />

This afternoon join us<br />

for a tour of Nancy’s<br />

yard, filled with whimsical ornaments, a gazebo, and,<br />

of course, beautiful flowers. A special invitation is<br />

extended to residents who are new not only to <strong>Arbor</strong><br />

<strong>Acres</strong> but Winston-Salem as well.<br />

Call Carolyn Vaughn for more information.<br />

Village Shop<br />

Volunteer Spotlight<br />

It’s in her DNA!<br />

Helen Caines has spent her retirement<br />

volunteering, and the Village<br />

Shop is the most recent beneficiary<br />

of her dedication.<br />

Helen literally sets up shop every<br />

Wednesday from 10:30 am to noon<br />

in Alibi Café in Asbury Place. She<br />

has all the necessities and some clothes and accessories<br />

from “headquarters,” and has built quite a<br />

following.<br />

Helen was for many years on the board of Habitat for<br />

Humanity in Kingsport, Tennessee, and helped start a<br />

ReStore from a few items in a stripped-down building<br />

to a thriving, million-dollar business.<br />

Next time you see Helen, thank her for working a<br />

regular shift in the Village Shop and pulling another<br />

at Asbury Place!<br />
