~The Saga of Rose Hill~
Rose Hill was born through sweat and tears
Hard work, enthusiasm and yes, even fears
Entwined with fellowship and laughter
That was the key
Roots were established and families grew
A vital living heart in a community so new
A Board of Directors was elected to serve
Hard working, dedicated with loyalty that never swerved
The things that have happened could fill a book
In '75 Self - Management was suggested and the Board took a look
Dark clouds were hovering over Rose Hill like an omen
The Board rolled up their sleeves and said 'cmon we'll show 'em
Committees were chosen to help carry the load
But the Board and the Staff were the brave and the bold
Again the hard work sweat, enthusiasm and fears
But this time it was tempered with "do or die" cheers
The grounds were established and fences were built
Building corrections were made and the scales began to tilt
The vacancies were filled with residents so proud
They told Rose Hill in voices strong and loud
Some faces have changed as the years have gone by
And we think of the old days with a nostaligic sigh
But "Rose Hill Survives" we proudly shout
We are strong and successful and carry some clout
The next ten years will tell their own story
