KIND AND GENEROUS
The Residents Association, led by Jerry Davis, Chair, works closely with staff to meet the needs of the community
and preserve a happy and active lifestyle among our residents.
Other officers of the association are Lora Lee Russell, Vice Chair; Shirley Heckman, Secretary; and Feme Schechter,
Treasurer.
Residents work hard at helping others, including those less fortunate at Hillcrest. The Benevolent Thrift Shop,
the Gift Shop, the Country Fair, Chapel offerings, and the Wood Shop require hours of volunteer time, but provide
needed funds to help those residents who outlive their financial resources. Here is what they raised this past
fiscal year:

their need to keep a reserve on hand.
