The Trips Committee has planned another outstanding excursion for Kendal residents.

On Wed., March 14 a group will visit the William Louis-Dreyfus Foundation in Mt. Kisco. The Foundation will offer a tour of its modern and contemporary collection which contains over 3,000 paintings, drawings and sculptures by more that 225 artists. The works were acquired by businessman, lawyer, poet and art collector William Louis-Dreyfus.

Details are available in the Feb 12 edition of Spotlight.

Sign up in the Trips Book located in the Activities Alcove opposite the Computer Room.

Space is still available for the Feb. 28 NYC "Do Your Own Thing" trip.

Return to Normal

Eugene DuBow

February 3, 2018

For 3 weeks Kendal had been on what many called a "lockdown" because of the possible spread of a very nasty GI virus. There were no meetings, lectures or movies. Meals were provided in take out "clamshells" and bags and had to be eaten in residents' apartments. With the slight relaxation of the rules, movies were again shown in the Gathering Room with the imposition of the "sit with a spare seat in-between" rule.

On Monday, January 29, after enough days had passed without new cases of the illness, the Westchester Health Authorities removed all the restrictions and Kendal returned to normal.

There was a campus-wide sigh of relief emenating from both residents and staff as "real life" resumed.

Unhappily, the Feb. 4 trip to the Jewish Museum had to be canceled.

HOWEVER....

A new trip, a Feb. 28 "Do your own thing" excursion to New York City with a drop off at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is now being offered.

Sign up sheets are in the Trips Book located in the Activities Alcove across from the Computer Room.

Note: There are short waiting lists for the Feb. 7 NYC Historical Society trip and the one planned for March 7 to the American Museum of Natural History.

Partial Return to Normal Activities

January 27, 2018

Kendal has been under a suspension of normal resident activities to avoid the spread of a nasty GI virus. On Friday, January 26, a partial lifting of the limitations was announced. Movies in the Gathering Room were restored.

It is hoped that if a sufficient number of days pass without a new case, a full restoration will take place and Kendal will be back to normal.

Daily Sara Quick (telephone) messages are being sent by management to update residents regarding the situation.
