team of coworkers,” she adds. Charito Amoranto, her supervisor,

Thursday, February 8, at 2:00pm, in

the activity room, Darwin will

conduct this month’s literary

lecture entitled, Carson McCullers and Her Stories of Small-Town

Loneliness. Synopsis: Often

compared to Tennessee Willliams,

Carson McCullers (1917-67) wrote of lonely people seeking love in

all the wrong places in small southern towns. She is an expert in

Special Concert: Side by Side One of our favorite musical groups, Side by Side, will be

performing at Palo Alto Commons on Saturday, February 24, at

2:00pm, in the living room. Side by Side is a community service

group, comprising of current Stanford University students, that

performs throughout the Bay Area. At each performance, the group

performs a selection of songs from the 1920s to the 1960s. Some

songs are performed with lively group choreography and others are

sung one-on-one to an individual audience member. After each

performance, the group spends 15-20 minutes talking with the

residents. Side by Side believes that music is a powerful tool in

breaking barriers and, through their musical performances and the

conversations they share with the audience afterwards, beautiful

connections and friendships are made across generations in

harmony. Don’t miss this very special concert!!
