The Gem of the Day was a quote from Jackson A. Brown: “Success is getting what you want. Happiness is liking what you get.”
Seven members answered roll call with their responses to the question, “What is your favorite kind of pie?”

The digital wheelchair scale has arrived and is being used. The total cost was $1,491.75, including shipping.
Andrew Salsman of the Maple Lawn Advisory Board reported that a car and truck show will be held outdoors at Maple Lawn on Saturday, May 17. Sponsorships are $25, and the entry fee is $5 per vehicle. Registration will be from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Maple Lawn Auxiliary members are needed to assist with the table, registration receipts and resident judging. Residents will cast their votes beginning at 12:30 p.m. The event is open to the public for both entries and voting. Andrew said, “Anything with wheels” can be entered. Proceeds will benefit the Maple Lawn Auxiliary fund for future projects.
The group voted to provide $250 for flowers and vegetables to be planted at the facility. They will also provide ice cream treats to staff members during Nursing Home Week, May 11–17.
