For the stuffed animal someone sent her. A reminder, Monday,  September 11 kicks off “Assisted Care Week” at the Mansion, the Army Of Good and I are supporting a lunchtime Pizza Party, I’ve ordered wood fired pizzas for 45 residents and staffers from the Round House Cafe.

Any decorations or gift bags or favors for the residents would be appreciated, in a sense, it’s their day. You can send your wonderful creations to The Mansion, c/o Julie Smith, 11 S. Union Avenue, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816. Festivities began at 11:30 a.m. Red and I will be there.

I’ve launched a “small things” campaign at the Mansion, looking for small gifts and things that will brighten people’s days there, my first effort was to pay for the staff to order pizza the other night. Flowers are one idea, bright posters and images are another. Maybe some small bottles of cologne.

Bigger things too, we’re taking a boat ride on Lake George on September 14 and publishing our “Tales Of The Mansion” book right now. A few copies left, I can order more. I’ll sign any books if people request it. You can call the store at 518 677 2515. They are shockingly nice.
