This mini-documentary featuring Wesley Palms residents, explores how the collaborative quilt project was born and how creativity has helped combat feelings of isolation during this extraordinary time. The quilts will be exhibited at Front Porch Gallery's Creating Meaning exhibition from November 22-January 2. #quilting #quilters #creativityunderquarentine #strengthofcommunity #frontporchretirement #covidcreativity #COVIDcreations #collaboration #seniorliving #knitting #sewingcircle https://youtu.be/g9pHYUQDLE8

It is with mixed emotions that we say farewell to Lani Thiel, our beloved Assisted Living Manager for the last 15 years, as she heads off to enjoy her own retirement. We are so grateful for all your compassion, patience and love that you brought to Wesley Palms with you every single day. We are deeply saddened that we will no longer get to see your smiling face every day, but we also wish to share your joy as you celebrate the end of this chapter and get to go travel to your heart's content and sleep in as late as you want. As many of you may know, Lani has her roots in Hawaii and here you can see her pouring out her love to all her friends and coworkers in her farewell hula dance. We're going to miss you Lani!
