The first of the five sets of tablecloths the Army Of Good purchased for the Mansion from their Wish List arrived this week, and the residents were grateful and excited, the old ones had been there for a long time and were getting rattu and boring.

There are two new items on the new Mansion Amazon Wish List, one for some Japanese origami paper for the residents to make during activity hours, and the other is the final set of tablecloths, a new and bright pattern.

The Mansion staff has been aching for months to get enough tablecloths to mix them up and reflect seasons and holidays. The residents spend a lot of time in the dining room and the colors they see matter.

We already bought six  sets, the final one, the Butterfly Meadow Blue, costs $21.00. The Japanese Orgami paper costs $14.95. Check out the Wish List here. Just two items left.

Note for art people: The first annual Mansion Art Show will be held on Thursday, August 23rd from 6-7 p.m. at the Mansion, 11 S. Union Avenue, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816.

The Mansion is looking for volunteers to come and host an art class, or paint in front of the residents, or just to bring their art to put up in the Art Show.

If you are interested, you can e-mail Julia at [email protected]. This one will be fun.

This idea grew out of the art work we did last year, but this year, the art show is being opened up to a wider audience. The public is invited. If you live far a way, please send a piece of art, if  you are in the area, come by to host a class or just to hang up some of your art.

This is a celebration of creativity.
