Hello Residents,

Signs of spring are on the way!

We are getting ready for Spring here at Riverwood, anticipating

warmer weather so we can enjoy our front terrace and back porch. No

matter what the season is, as always, I love and appreciate each of you

and am blessed to be your Executive Director. May everyone have a

happy and blessed March!

“The March wind roars

Like a lion in the sky,

And makes us shiver

As he passes by.

When winds are soft,

And the days are warm and clear

Just like a gentle lamb,

Then Spring is here!”

In a couple of weeks, spring begins on the 20th. Seems like just a few days

ago we were ringing in the new year. There’s an old saying, “time sure

flies,” and it does, doesn’t it? Seasons change, but there is one thing that

never changes and that is our Lord’s word. Every year, millions of people

do spring cleaning to get rid of things they don’t need anymore. Today,

I am reminded of how God’s people often need to do spiritual inventory

and clean ourselves up. John 1:9 teaches us that if we will confess our sins

to the Lord he will be faithful to cleanse us of our sins. May each of us be

reminded daily to go to our Lord and allow him to clean us up. May God’s

blessings be upon each of you.

March FUN Facts

• March’s flowers are the daffodil and the jonquil.

• The first National Woman’s Day was observed in the United States on February 18th, 1909. The Socialist Party of America designated this day in honor of the 1908 garment workers’ strike in New York, where women protested against working conditions.

• St. Patrick died around the fifth century — 12 centuries before the modern version of St. Patrick’s Day was first observed.

• The March 17 celebration, now known as St. Patrick’s Day, started in 1631 when the Church established a Feast Day honoring St. Patrick.
