Happy New Year! We are so excited to start this year with you. We have incredible stories with you. We have been working to rebrand ourselves and we hope you like what you see. If you look over to your left you will see our new logo. We decided not to use the shield and to use the name of the Home instead. We love it and hope that you will as well. Our website is being com-pletely revamped and this will include all new pages of information as well as more education and ways to connect with the residents, staff and Board of Directors. We have included our new Foun-dation in our newsletter as well. If you look to your bottom left you will see the new board members for the Foundation. Our website has a Foundation tab as well for more information. In February, the State of Michigan will make changes to the age limit to live at the John George

Home. So you will may be seeing some younger folks at the Home. Our average age is 73 and we

don’t anticipate much movement with the age but we wanted you to know that the Home for the

Aged age limit is now a little younger.

The Classic Sudoku is a number placing puzzle based on a

9x9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place

the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row,

each column and each 3x3 box contains the same number

only once.
