It’s a great way to inform us of things that we are doing well and things that we can improve on.
If there is something that we do well, we would LOVE for you to share that with us through an official Testimonial. We’ve included that form if you are interested. Thank you in advance!
A big thanks to Jack Bernard for organizing the library. It looks amazing! If you’d like to read a book in the li-brary, no need to check it out - just take it and then re-turn it when you are done at the desk (next to the com-puter) in the library.
Happy March!

Our Community Chaplain
Live Stream Worship Service
Sundays | 9:45 am | 2nd Floor Chapel
On Sundays at 9:45am we live stream the Sunday service of St. Philip the Deacon (ELCA) Lutheran Church. This is held in the Chapel/Theater room on the second floor. We set up the service and get to follow along with the service (held at St. Philip’s) here at Cherrywood Pointe. The pastor isn’t here but it’s a way for us to gather and worship together on Sunday morning. A special thanks to Janet for sending us the worship ser-
vice and hymns so we can follow along. Contact Erin E. with questions.
Colleen is our community chaplain. She is
excited to meet you and serve Cherrywood
Pointe’s spiritual needs.

Community Reminders
Please pick up to-go orders for lunch at 12:30p or later and for dinner, 5:30p or later. Please call the front desk and place the order ahead of time. Thank you!
We want to fill this community with amazing seniors which is why CWP offers a $500 bonus when you refer a new resident! This is a $500 bonus for you and ALSO a $500 bonus for the new resident!
Staff and residents, please use the front doors or garage, only, for coming and going. Because of snow and ice buildup at the door frames, some doors do not close. (I have found them cracked open). This could cause a water line to freeze and break. It also com-promises our security which could allow anyone access if they do not latch. A reminder that there are cameras at all doors.
Channel 1-2 is up and running. Check out the daily schedule and
menu on your television. Please contact the front desk with any ques-
tions or concerns.
Please sign in and out when you leave the building.
