Celebrating our outstanding CNAs on National CNA Day!
Though the solstice is still a few days away, summer is in full swing with fishing, bocce, croquet, BBQs, gardening, and weekly trips to Fudgy's ice cream! Flag Day was recognized with a patriotic live music concert, Father's Day will be marked with a special luncheon, and summer's arrival will be greeted with an ice cream party!
The campus continues to open; this past week, the Salisbury Rotary Club resumed their weekly meetings, and Rosie and Tilly, two of our favorite four-legged visitors, elicited squeals of delight when they returned to visit. We also celebrated Certified Nursing Assistant Day with a tribute to our exceptional team of CNAs.
To ensure the safety of Noble residents, we continue to ask that guests please be screened at the Wagner entrance, and through June, that community guests entering buildings be fully vaccinated. Thank you for understanding; we look forward to seeing you!

Henry IV with The Hotchkiss School's Jim Fornshell
The Hotchkiss School's veteran Shakespeare teacher, Jim Fornshell returns this summer on July 6, 2-3 pm to lead an engrossing and entertaining course on Shakespeare's popular Henry IV.

He holds a B.A. in English from Hamilton College, an M.Ed. from Harvard University, and an M.Litt. in Shakespeare studies from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.

Hamish Lutris is one of Noble Horizons' most popular speakers, known for his captivating history classes and his encyclopedic knowledge on an impossibly wide range of topics. One topic he has not covered, however, is Hamish Lutris!
