Once again, your support has altered the dynamics of the Mansion is the most positive and affirming of ways. The new 55 ” Samsung TV came last week, it was installed two days ago on the Northern Wall of the Great Room.

The residents are thrilled and grateful. Currently, the only TV available to all of the residents was in the Activity Room, and when there are activities – there are always activities at the Mansion – that television is turned off.

The new  TV is bigger and clearer, and the staff also moved all of the DVD’s you have been sending and I have been buying into the book case.

This has transformed life in the Mansion, the Great Room is bright and comfortable and the residents can come in and watch their  favorite movies all day or in the early evening, where they like to gather with one another. Another whole space for the residents to gather has been opened up, and this screen is amazingly clear and the sound strong.

We also purchased a wall mount so the TV can be moved if necessary.

Thank you for this, it is a great privilege to give the residents so much comfort and joy. You enrich their lives every day, If you wish to support the Mansion Fund, you can send a donation via Paypal, [email protected] or by check, Jon Katz, The Mansion Fund, P.O. Box 205, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816.
