Our Flower Ministry team had a Night at the Museum adventure! Late yesterday evening, we delivered 80 beautiful, large floral arrangements from the Catholic Charities of New York gala to ArchCare’s Terence Cardinal Cooke Health Care Center and Mary Manning Walsh Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center for the enjoyment of their residents, patients, families, and staff.
James Palazza, YOF; Thomas Spannring, KM; Sal Tisi; and NYC Area Chair Steve Bujno, KM navigated the maze of corridors under the Museum to collect the flowers from the Hall of Ocean Life. Fortunately, our team wasn’t chased by a T-Rex, and the polar bears and other museum displays courteously waited until after our departure to come to life.
Special thanks to American Association President Ken Craig for coordinating with Catholic Charities CEO Antonio Fernandez, YOF to make this very generous donation of the floral arrangements possible.
It is our privilege to partner with MMW, TCC, and other ArchCare facilities. Mary Manning Walsh provides compassionate skilled nursing and long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, and state of the art sub-acute care. TCC provides skilled nursing and long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, a leading Huntington’s disease care program, and Mother Cabrini Specialty Hospital for Children.
