Rose VillaAn Active Senior Community

An Evening of Thanks

Rose Villa residents and staff had the wonderful opportunity recently to honor Rose Villa’s Volunteers. Each spring, we gather nominations for our Volunteer of the Year award. There are so many caring people that offer up their time and talents for many worthy groups and causes that are deserving. It is quite a process to choose only one winner. But choose we did! Nominated residents were honored and the spirit of volunteerism was celebrated at Rose Villa’s annual Volunteer of the Year Banquet on May 3, 2012. Dinner was served, toasts were made and it was an inspiration to see the community honor those that work so hard to help others.

There were so many fabulous items up for bid and it was so great to see everyone bidding and willing to support such a great cause.

Rose Villa CEO Vassar Byrd gives insight on identifying what’s right, to change what’s wrong

I don’t know about you, but I love incongruities. For me, the best movies are the ones where you are sure you know what is going to happen next … only to have something completely different happen. So it’s no surprise that the best takeaway for me from Switch is the advice to look for what’s going right when you are trying to fix something wrong.

Simple, yes? Common, no.

This book is chock-full of practical observations: How do you identify a problem, figure out where it’s coming from, and fix it? Where does emotion—or lack of it—interfere with the best-laid plans? You probably have read about the ego and the id, but you may not realize how very relevant they are in your day-to-day business.
