Sending ‘Angels’ to the Good Samaritan Program
November 2015
special angels will soon be adorning Christmas trees and holiday displays at every Presbyterian manors of midAmerica (PmmA) senior living community.
The “angels” are paper ornaments that will arrive throughout the holiday season along with gifts to the annual Christmas Angel Appeal, which raises funds for the Good samaritan Program for Benevolent Care. Donors who make gifts are asked to return paper Angel ornaments along with their gifts. The ornaments pay tribute to donors’ family members or friends and are displayed at PmmA communities designated by the donors. During the past two years, donors to the angel appeals have given more than $90,000 to the Good samaritan Program. The program assists PmmA residents who have out-lived their financial resources through no fault of their own. since PmmA began 66 years ago, no residents have been asked to leave because they exhausted their financial resources.
If you would like to participate in the Angel Appeal, please email Development@pmma.org or call 800-336-8511.

A moment for
Music
If you ask Ruth Butterfield to tell you her true love, she'd of course say her husband Edwin. But music ranks right up there. Ruth shared this beautiful poem for all to enjoy: For the common things of every day God gave man speech in a common way For the deeper things men think and feel God gave the poets words to reveal But, for the heights and depths that know no reach, God gave man music–the soul’s own speech. Ruth Butterfield shared - Anonymous
