They also made a special visit to Mitzy Kellam, a dear friend of Donoho’s, who is a resident at the BTV Health Care Center.
“I talk about my family to Mitzy, and I wanted her to have the chance to meet them,” Donoho explained. “Prior to their visit, Mitzy spent time with my brother and me when he came to visit.”
Once the family was back home in Virginia that fall, Eric wrote a school essay that said visiting Butterfield and Northwest Arkansas was the highlight of his summer.
Donoho said she was moved when Sara texted her in the spring to relay the children’s plans to make and send the cards to Butterfield.
“I wasn’t totally surprised,” Donoho said of Sara, who was in the Peace Corps in Tongo, Africa, and returned later to work in Senegal. “Every evening, she and the children spend time together volunteering for the community. As a family, they care and do for others.”

BTV Fitness Classes Transition to Village Cable Coffee on the Balcony and Trivia Geared at Whole Health
Butterfield’s exercise classes for residents have transitioned to inhouse cable TV, with Fitness & Wellness Director Jennifer Neill broadcasting live most mornings on Channel 1961.
Neill and her team have come up with some fun distance-safe options — like brain teasers and balcony trivia — that take a holistic approach to health, beyond helping residents stay fit and moving.
“In the mornings, we’ve been taking turns inviting [sections of nearby] apartment residents to come out on their balconies and have coffee,” Neill said. “We call out trivia questions from below in the courtyard, and throw candy and prizes up. We’re really trying to tackle every aspect of health: social, physical, stress management, all those things.”
BTV’s personal training program is operating remotely, too. Instead of sessions in-person, trainers are working with residents using the FaceTime app or Zoom meeting video conferencing.
If a resident wishes to train alone, BTV will create a personalized packet of printed training materials and back it up with phone support and check-ins.
Fitness & Wellness classes on Channel 1961 include:
Monday thru Thursday
• Get Moving with Jennifer: Balance, Strength & Cardio! @ 10:30am • Tai Chi and Yoga @ 11am • Wellness Talks and Fitness Tips @ 11:30am
Friday
• Get Moving with Jennifer: Balance, Strength & Cardio! @ 10:30am • Fitness Class with BTV Physical Therapist Dan
Worley @ 11am
Some classes are replayed on Channel 1961 and are available on the Butterfield Trail Village YouTube channel.
