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 />
