Associate of the Month
Daonnie Glover
Let us take a moment to recognize and celebrate Daonnie G as our March Employee of the Month. Since joining our company in 2019 as a housekeeper, she has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to excellence. Her work has been nothing short of fantastic, and it is a testament to her dedication and work ethic. Not only has she excelled in her role as a CNA for our community, but she has also shown remarkable versatility and adaptability. No matter the task at hand, she goes above and beyond to ensure it is completed with the utmost precision and attention to detail. When Daonnie is away from work you will find her crocheting, reading, gardening or watching her favorite TV shows Yellowstone or Hawaii Five-0.
Alongside her outstanding individual performance, she has proven to be an invaluable team player. Dae’s willingness to collaborate and support her colleagues has not gone unnoticed. Her contributions help foster a strong and cohesive team environment, which has a positive impact on the entire Legacy Ridge at Brookstone community.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude for her hard work and unwavering dedication. Her commitment to excellence serves as an inspiration to us all, and we are fortunate to have her as part of our team.

World Poetry Day
World Poetry Day, initiated by UNESCO in 1999, arrives on March 21 to honor globally the artistry and diversity of poetry. It pays homage to poets who craft words into emotion, images, and storytelling, transcending boundaries and enriching human experiences.
You can mark the occasion by sharing favorite poems with friends or family, attending poetry readings or events, or even trying your hand at writing a short poem. Dive into different poetic styles, from traditional sonnets to modern spoken word, exploring the richness of expression they offer. You might also support local poets or poetry organizations, sharing their work on social media or attending their performances. Whether you choose to write, read, or listen to poetry performed, World Poetry Day invites us to immerse ourselves in the beauty and power of words.

The Perfect Pair
Feeling hungry? March 23 is Chip and Dip Day. This ultimate snack and party pairing has come a long way since chips and salsa. Often, the dip is the exciting element of the duo: creamy ranch made with sour cream, dill, garlic, and dried onions. Or guacamole with fresh avocados, garlic, onion, tomatoes, a dash of cayenne, and a squirt of lime. For a change of pace, try hummus, spinach with artichokes, or a white bean spread.
Although it may be taken for granted, the chip is more than just a vehicle for the dip. Corn, potato, and baked pita chips provide a satisfying crunch. Sometimes you don’t need a chip at all. Toasted slices of Italian bread are the perfect base for bruschetta. If you really want to impress a crowd, wow them with cheese fondue. The cheese is spectacular,
but equally delicious are the sausage, bread, apples, and veggies for dipping.

One of Emily’s favorite travel experiences growing up was getting to travel across the country by train with her parents. She also enjoyed spending summers with family. Reunions, camping, family picnics overlooking the Mississippi River at Eagle Point Park in Clinton and visiting Chicago are some of her favorite memories. She enjoys lots of activities including bowling, puzzles, birdwatching, baking club, playing cards, and sewing. On Christmas she always made sure she sewed everyone a pair of matching pajamas. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being awesome and putting a smile on everyone’s face.
