Congratulations to Carolyn "Clue" Noble for receiving the Mary Barton Volunteer of the Year award
As we all welcomed the spring flowers and seasonable weather, here at Noble Horizons we also welcomed back several familiar faces: The 14th Colony Artists, Michael Brown and the David Peyton Band are just a few names we have had the pleasure of seeing again in these recent weeks. It has been a joy to see these faces amongst our campus after such a long stretch. The 14th Colony Artists returned after two years and will be showcased in our Learning Center until April 30th. Please make time to come and see this exquisite show if you haven't already.
The month is flying by as we have been quite busy here - April is Volunteer Month as well as Occupational Therapy Month. We have been celebrating our Volunteers and our Occupational Therapists throughout the month and are truly grateful to them for making our lives better every day with their continued caring and support with the changing needs of our community. We have been showcasing our Occupational Therapists weekly on Facebook , Instagram and on our website as a small token of our gratitude for the wonderful team we have here. We recently were able to celebrate (in person) our Noble Volunteers with a delightful garden-themed recognition brunch. Seeing the smiles on the faces of the Volunteers and having a chance to catch up was a delightful way to spend a Saturday afternoon. The scrumptious food prepared by our exceptional Dietary staff was a hit, and the Recreation department really transformed our community room into an oasis of garden flowers and plants. This was just a small token of our gratitude for their continued efforts and the joy that our volunteers bring to our residents.

Volunteers Come In All Shapes and Sizes!
Thank you to our pet volunteer of the month, our Certified Therapy dog, Kekoa! Keoka comes faithfully every Tuesday with his best friend Clue (who has just been awarded the Mary Barton Volunteer of the Year) leading the way. We are all grateful for the love and affection that he brings us weekly. He's a gentle giant, attentively providing love and support to all our residents and staff, and is a graduate of the Canine Link program held here at Noble Horizons each month. If you have a special canine that you think might be a candidate for this program and would like more information on Canine Link and the services they provide, click here.

Bill Spaulding, the President of Rotary, is enjoying the new space and is very grateful that they have a meeting place to share their ideas and plan for the community outreach we all wish to provide. Welcome Salisbury Rotary to the Noble family!

Michael Brown
Michael Brown uplifted us with a thrilling Sunday afternoon performance in our chapel. Michael has been a member of our Noble Community for decades and it was great to welcome him back once again. In his performance with his colleague Tamara Andrew, he showcased one of his favorite pieces, "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands," and he had our residents raising theirs! Thank you, Michael and Tamara, for a truly remarkable performance.
