Giving a Little Love Gets You a Great Deal (of Birthday Wishes) Back

Giving a Little Love Gets You a Great Deal (of Birthday Wishes) Back

     At the beginning of this year, Sherry Snoad, Medication Aide at Legacy Arbors set out to make her co-worker’s birthdays a little brighter. Each month, Sherry took it upon herself to bring cards for staff celebrating their birthdays. She would pass around the cards asking everyone to sign them.  Then she hand delivered the card along with a small gift to the lucky person celebrating their birthday. To top it off, even if Sherry had the day off, it didn’t matter. If it was someone’s birthday, you better believe she’s still there to deliver the card.

     On September 5th, Sherry’s birthday, the Arbors staff decided to return the kind gesture in a big way. Every Arbors staff member signed cards and many donated money to the Red Cross in Sherry’s honor.  Several staff came in on their day off to bring food, flowers, and to simply say “Happy Birthday”. Her daughters joined in on the fun too with balloons and flowers. Needless to say she was surprised.

     Sherry and all of the Legacy Arbors staff truly live out the company’s value of Family. They recognize the importance of taking a little extra time to spread kindness. It’s always a great day when those acts of kindness become twofold.
