A Picture Perfect Way to Begin the New Year

Park Springs hosted the first New Member Breakfast of 2012. We celebrated and welcomed 12 of our newest members. It was an opportunity for the members to get acquainted with other new members, learn more about the Leadership Team and other groups and committees at our premier Atlanta retirement community, and to enjoy a feast to delight the most discerning palate.

The breakfast, which was hosted at the Springhouse Grill, included a buffet of quiche, fresh pastries, grits,  bacon, sausage, cheese blintzes with fruit toppings, omelet  station,
biscuits and gravy. It was in the Springhouse Grill. Park Springs Good Neighbors escorted the new members to breakfast. The Directors and Member Councils provided information on their roles and offered invitations for the new members to get involved.

Reflections on 2010 from Food Services

Jim Schneeberger; Food & Beverage Director

2010 has been quite a year for the Food Service Department at Park Springs, with over 1,500 events were provided some type of Food Services.

We improved upon all our menus throughout all of our venues though the use of 91 Member recipes.  We introduced Theme Nights every Wednesday Night in the Springhouse Grill, wher we have featured the Interning students from the Le Cordon Bleu of Atlanta and our own fine Chefs and Cooks at Park Springs.  Our Intern/Externship Program has seen 57 students from various advanced learning institutions throughout the Atlanta area.

Our greatest accomplishment was the opening of our Cobblestone Kitchenettes.  Through the Kitchenettes we can now provide quicker order changes an even hotter meal and more variety for the Members of Cobblestone Health Center right in their Dining Rooms.  This has seen Member participation and consumption in meals increase greatly and has been a wonderful addition to the fine Skilled Care Community that is Cobblestone.

We look forward to many changes, additions, improvements and creations in 2011.
