The
Wartburg observes the American Heart Association's "Go
Red For Women's Heart Health" educational initiative
The
Wartburg Adult Care Facility focused on matters of the
heart across the campus, as they officially observed The
American Heart Association's "Go Red For Women's Heart
Health" educational initiative on Valentine's Day.
Judy Benke , Director of Church and Parish Health
Partnerships, and Roger St. Clair, Director of Food and
Nutrition, set up a display table in the staff
cafeteria. For the occasion, St. Clair had his staff
prepare a special heart-healthy lunch menu, complete
with detailed nutritional information. Red blouses,
ties, shirts and sweaters were in evidence everywhere,
as were the signature little red dress pins that the
Heart Association uses to promote the annual event.
Benke collected donations for the American Heart
Association on behalf of The Wartburg, which will be
matched dollar-for-dollar by The Wartburg Foundation.
In
the afternoon, students from the Edmund Rice Society of
Iona College presented their handmade valentines to all
the folks at Club Wartburg Adult Day Program at a
Valentine's Day party in the Berkemeier
Auditorium. Members of the Rice Society assist fellow
students and also get involved in community outreach
activities such as the holiday celebration with
Wartburg's Adult Day seniors.
The students came
prepared for a party with cupcakes, cookies, and
valentines for everyone.
