Meet Pete
We would like to welcome our new Maintenance Director, Pete! Born in the Communist Bloc Country of Hungary, he immigrated to America at the age of 10. He graduated from the University of Florida with a Business Degree and dedicated 15 years to operating a family-owned Assisted Living Facility in Seminole. He was in charge of the Nursing, Maintenance and Information Technology Departments. His extensive knowledge of the Long-Term Care Industry stems from his deep passion for serving others and working with his hands. In his free time Pete enjoys riding motorcycles, boating, fishing, time with friends, family and spending time with the love of his life Annalisa.
Remember if you have any maintenance requests stop by the front desk and let one of the concierges know.
Discovering National Parks - Hawai'i Volcanos
This month for discovering national parks series will be exploring Hawai’i Volcanos National Park. By order of Woodrow Wilson in 1916, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was created. It contains 323,431 acres and is still growing. In 1980, the Park was designated as an International Biosphere Reserve and became a World Heritage Site in 1987. There are at least 6 different climate zones in the park including desert, tropical forest and tundra. Altitude plays large part as Mauna Loa rises to 13,677 feet from sea level. It encompasses two active volcanoes. Mauna Loa is the largest shield volcano on Earth measured from the sea floor to summit. After a 38 year hiatus, Mauna Loa began erupting on Nov 27, 2022. Kilauea, located on Mauna Loa’s flank, has been erupting as well. Please join us this month for our many activities related to this national park and other Hawaiian heritage as it is also the month Hawaii became at state in 1959.
