We had a big turnout at Bingo Night Friday, one of has to sit with Joanie when the letters are called, but almost everybody else won at least once, and then Joan won too. Everyone loved the Bingo Prizes that you are sending to them (The Mansion, 11 S.Union Avenue, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816), thanks.

The box of Snow Leopards was a bit hit. Your tents and garden supplies are here or on the way.

In the Small Acts Of Great Kindness Department, I have this report for Friday. I want you all to know what you have done.

Four sets of summer pajamas are now being worn by female residents who were hot at night.

We now have cushions on everyone of the side porch rocking chairs, and cushion back for four of the chairs for the residents with back issues.

I delivered six big bags of brown mulch to the Manson gardens Friday morning. The garden is ready top plant.

I ordered a new portable air conditioner for Jackie, a new tenant who is sensitive to heat. We did a survey of the air conditioners we bought last year, and with this new one, every resident who needs or wants an air conditioner now has one.

The Mansion has no central air conditioning system, it is an old building, and some of the rooms cannot be air conditioned for structural or other reasons. You may remember we bought some large and efficient fans. So everyone who needs cooling now has cooling, including the kitchen staff, who got a big window air conditioner in the late Fall.

This has made an amazing difference at the Mansion and I wanted to share this good news with  you. Jackie’s new portable air conditioner will arrive on Wednesday or Thursday of this week, along with a window venting and power kit.

Thank you. Your generation donations of dirt, mulch and bulbs will be going into the Mansion garden this coming week. I  will try to record this event. And your Bingo Prizes are a great smash. So is the Mansion Wish List, the three portable tents from the big annual picnic are on the way.
