Valentine’s Day Party At The Mansion: More than 1,000 Letters And Gifts!

by Jon Katz

The Valentine’s Day party at the Mansion this afternoon was a stunning celebration, unlike any the residents had ever seen in all of their lives – I heard that over and over again. The Mansion staff was passing out letters, cards, candies, cookies, pinwheels, puzzles, games, cakes, photographs and too many things too list.

The staff was happy and shocked, they were passing out letters and gifts for nearly two hours, I carried some candy trays around.

“Some of these people haven’t gotten five letters in years,” a staffer told me, “they are all getting at lealst 10 and 15 today, plus bags filled with fun things.”

The happiness and excitement was amazing to see, you are an Army Of Good and today was a mighty victory. Everyone got a bit red bag filled with stuff, they couldn’t wait to open it, share it and show it with one another. What a gift you have given these people. I wanted to put up this video and also some photos.

The video captured the feel of it, and I loved the Oscar Stroubeck Trio. I’m thinking about Easter.
