June 2009- Grand Opening Independent Living Suites

Everyone who attended the Grand Opening Celebration of the New Independent Living Suites were sufficiently impressed as the model suite was unveiled.  More than 100 people viewed the new suites and commented on the immaculately clean, very affordable and centrally located apartments. 

The celebration included a Strawberry Festival of treats prepared by our own chefs.  The pasta bar was a raving success, the strawberry delights were devoured and the drinks delighted all pallets. 

We were also joined by 95.5 the FISH"S own Len Howser who brought his Fish wheel of prizes and many CD's were given out as well as tickets to ALIVE 2009. 

Suites can be viewed by appointment.  Call 216-851-8200 and ask for Pat Baskin at extension 2007 or Rosanne Bryan at extension 2040.
