Puzzle August 2018 Summer Days PrimroseRetirement.com We all wait for these summer days, but they seem to go by so fast. Here at Primrose we are always doing something that makes summer fly by. Our beautiful flower gardens, vegetable gardens, and raised beds have been planted and tended to by our residents. We have attended Briq s Ice cream trips, restaurant outings, shopping, and casino outings with the bus. It s not just about how busy we are at Primrose, but the memories we are making with each other. We continue to look for new and exciting things to do as a community. If you have any suggestions please let us know! 1500 TOWNLINE ROAD WAUSAU, WI 7704 FRANCISCAN WAY WESTON, WI 54476 Kathy Jamison Executive Director Deb Meisel/Julia Contreras Administrative Assistant Nicki Courtright Sales Director Cindy Fish Director of Nursing Kelly Carlson Memory Care Director of Nursing Kelli Oligney/Cass Riebe Director of Dining Matthew Johnson/Darren Siewert Life Enrichment Roy Wolosek /Bill Beaudry Property Maintenance You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
