New Resident Dinner “Friendly Beginnings”
The New Resident Dinner is one of the Village Association’s biggest annual events, when it celebrates the addition of new Independent Living residents and new team members from the previous year. This year’s event has the added attraction of affording a sneak peek of the newly renovated Custer Room, with new tableware and other enticements. (The Custer Dining Room won’t formally re-open for meals until mid-November.)
