Thanksgiving at Clover Living

“Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with

praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name.”

Psalm 100:4

There is so much to be thankful for. It is with God’s abundant blessings, today Clover Living has its unique place to serve aged 55+ Chinese in Calgary to live healthy, carefree, vibrant and active lifestyle.

We are thankful for the first Clover Living Open Day on September 20th. Over 200 visitors came, the response was exciting and very positive. Our special thanks to our capable and willing resident volunteers – Constance Jen, Grace Fung, Maria Shen and Lo Suet Ning. They have greatly encouraged us.

We are thankful for our dedicated and caring staff, and our wonderful residents. He opened our eyes to see how “We”, staff and residents, are able to work together to develop a compassionate and caring community.

We are also glad to announce the appointment of May Chen as Resident Support Assistant to support the growing needs of Resident Support and to facilitate new interest groups.

Moving forward, may Clover Living always be a home of blessings to many, and be a compassionate and caring community where we experience love, peace, friendship and fun.

Blessings,

Grace Su Director of Operations

Mid-Autumn Festival

The residents were very into Karaoke. Some sang with volunteers,

some sang solo, some prepared their own music, and some even

sang hilarious Chinese/English songs to bring the night to its climax.

This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival was cold and snowy,

nonetheless Clover Living was very festive. Our staff

put up thoughtful decorations, and prepared

mooncakes and snacks for the evening Mid-Autumn

Festival Celebration. Friends and volunteers from

Dragon Club came to sing Karaoke with our residents.

It had been a very enjoyable evening while many great singers

were discovered among our residents. We were nicely surprised

that the residents enjoyed Karaoke so much, and that they could

be so witty and fun.
