18.01.2022 Although we can't all feast together this year, it's wonderful to see how everyone is participating and having lunch in smaller groups. We were able to chat on the phone with our residents over lunch and enjoy dining together in spirit. Thank you to everyone who shared photos from their #TheBigTable!
