!"#$%&'#( )*(#+ ,#--$.# Sent out this Week/0 AHRC Nassau Letter Campaign: Dear __New Woods Rd. Staff______________, Today I am Thinking about: How lucky the ladies and gentlemen at New Woods are to have Taiwan, Sondra, and the rest of the amazing, hardworking, and dedicated staff. I am thinking about how difficult it must be for them during this crisis, especially after losing a very important part of the New Woods family, but also about how loved and cared for each and every person in the house is, and always has been.

You are IMPORTANT because: Every single lady and gentleman in the house considers you to not only be their friend, but their family, especially when !"#$ %& '()! *% #%' ("+) ",'-". &"!/.$ '% 0))1 2/'(%-' $%- 3445 '() 6)%6.) 7) 0-66%8' 7%-.*#9' ("+) '() 68%6)8 "#* overwhelmingly special care they are provided, particularly at New Woods. You are important because YOU are frontline workers who put yourselves in danger to ensure the safety and happiness of others. That is complete and utter selflessness.

Today I am GRATEFUL For: Peace of mind, because I am sure that everyone in the house is happy, healthy, and loved because of your steadfast and unfaltering dedication and adoration you give so willingly and selflessly. I am grateful for all the amazing qualities you all possess, that many others do not have the courage to exhibit. I am grateful for the empathy and compassion you show each of the residents each and every day.

My Favorite (insert thoughts) is: I have always loved how the staff always cooks wholesome and tasty meals for everyone, and how everyone sits together and eats dinner like a family. The staff constantly looks for fun and exciting ways to entertain, and give cool experiences to the ladies and gentlemen of the house. They are always going on fun outings, celebrations, and awesome vacations. The staff sets an amazing example for others to follow.

With Sincere Gratitude and Appreciation, Aaron Peretz, MA, MSed., BIS.
