"Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings." ~William Arthur Ward
We are full of gratitude for our Resident Benefit Fund supporters who make our trips possible! This week, we enjoyed a delicious dinner at and great fun at bingo, thanks to thoughtful folks who have donated in memory of a loved one, in celebration of a special event, or because they enjoy thanking veterans for the freedoms they enjoy. We are blessed.

Happy RED Friday from the NHVH - our weekly tradition of Remembering Everyone Deployed. We are excited to be using our Town Hall again after temporary closure to make way for construction progress. We were back to using it today - post haste - for Tai Chi and music from the Fillingers. From balloon toss to bag toss, we enjoyed exercising our muscles, and with our crossword challenge, we also enjoyed exercising our minds.

Happy Earth Day! We tie-dyed shirts to mark the occasion. Today also brought the enjoyment of music by Bill Parker and rounds of bingo thanks to The Sons of American Legion Post #67 sponsorship! We had some big winners thanks to their support.
Shout out to our special guests, Gary and Alex from WMUR-TV, who recorded a few of our veterans (employees and resident) to ask them what it means for them to be celebrating our nation's 250th birthday this year. Watch for the spots to air starting next month!

We were glad to once again see a great turnout of residents at the Resident Council meeting this week. From conversations about trips, to decorating their Home, we discussed many topics that look to make our home even better. Shout out to Laconia Elks #876 for their wonderful Bingo sponsorship. It was one of the best BINGO nights of recent memory! As temperatures are rising outdoors of late, residents were practicing fanning themselves with cool winnings. It was a lively, special time reflected on residents' faces around the room with volunteers from the Elks, Amanda, Jace and Josie from Bishop Brady. The steadfast support of our veterans from Molly the dog (and her 'mom' Lisa), and our wonderful sunshine cart ladies, Celeste and Martha, is appreciated!

More highlights from our week...
- Informative presentation from Phil Knobel of the White Mountain Amateur Radio Club
- Visit from the sweet Hiker and his 'dad'
- Enjoyment of the great outdoors, including a heads up that our coyote is back! Rest assured he is 'genuinely artificial' and we placed him there to try to keep the geese off our walking path. (If they picked up after themselves, we wouldn't mind sharing our paths with them!) We'll keep moving him around our pond...
- We welcomed Cathy to our NHVH Family!
- More courtyard renovation progress (YAY!)
- Kickball. games of pool, shuffleboard, and more.

Happy RED Friday - where our staff, residents, and friends wear RED to Remember Everyone Deployed. We had two young super star volunteers today, Ellysia and Elliott. We love their engaging, intergenerational visits. Black Jack had a packed house, and with the tasty winnings and a great dealer, it is easy to see why. We thank our steadfast volunteer, Shawn, who makes them such a joy for our veterans. For more intergenerational fun, we were delighted to welcome Girl Scout Troop 60262 & 60162, both from Amherst, who spent the afternoon with us last weekend after delivering 150 boxes of cookies! We cannot thank our volunteers enough.
We hope you also had a chance to enjoy today’s beautiful weather - and have an amazing weekend ahead.

Today, our Korean War era veterans had an extra special afternoon as we welcomed the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Boston, Kim Jae-hui, who visited to honor our veterans from their service era. We are beyond thankful to welcome back Consul General Kim before his term expires this summer. He and his team brought meaningful gifts, symbolic of our nation’s friendships and important history. The gathering even included a touching musical performance of Korean opera. We will never forget the service of our heroes.

In this Month of the Military Child, we set aside today, April 15th, to wear purple for our special "Purple Up! Day"! This nationwide initiative is to honor military children for their strength, resilience, and sacrifices. The color purple represents all branches of the armed forces by combining Army green, Marine Corps red, and Navy/Air Force/Coast Guard blue.💜
