The Summer 2011 Newsletter has just been published and sent to everyone on our mailing list.  Peter Bacon’s lead article offers respectful remembrance of three residents who have passed away in the last several months. He also mentions the financial difficulties that the vacancies create at Pyareo Home. There are articles by three aides, Wendy Hobbs (our administrator) and others.

We hope you enjoy this issue. If you don’t have a paper copy, check out an electronic version of it in Acrobat format. Pictures in the electronic version are in color, but other than that, the two versions are identical. (This is a large file, so downloads may be slow).

If you would like newsletters to be automatically sent to you by email, please send us a note to shipp@pyareohome.org .
