Why did a I toss out my Accounting 101 textbooks?
They would have helped me on Thursday, June 29, at 2 pm when there will be a presentation of the 2016 Audit Financial Results and Triannual Actuarial Study in the Gathering Room.
The Grant Thornton Auditor will be on hand to make the presentation and answer all questions. He won't be under oath but we will get a lot of "straight-arrow" answers.
The Study might not have Comey Hearing fireworks but the results have a lot more to do with life at Kendal than a gaggle of Senators asking a lot of unanswerable questions.
Because of the presentation, the Fireside Chat scheduled for June 27 will not be held.
Summer Sing
There will be a series of Summer Sings on Wednesdays, June 21, July 19 and August 23, 5:15-6:15pm in the Residents Lounge.
Sue Anderson, our KoH Chorus accompanist, will be the MC for the first two. Residents are urged bring and join in on any folk-instruments they play at the August Folk Fest which will be MC'd by Deb Wood.
So, bring along your best singing voice to join in with your fellow residents.
Put the dates on your calendar, start practicing in the shower, and let's hear from you when the singing begins!

New Trip - Museum of the City of New York
Don't Jan Myers and her Trips Committee ever sleep? They keep grinding out new expeditions for us - one more exciting than the last one.
The newest is a trip to the Museum of the City of New York which focuses on the city's 400-year evolution from a Dutch Village into a world capital presented in two sections, Fort City (1609 - 1898) and World City (1898 - 2012) plus the Future City Lab with interactive features letting visitors design the future. Add to all that Muslim New York.
This great trip will take place on Wed., June 28.
