Surviving the Blizzard of 2016 in Williamstown!


As we enjoy these beautiful photos of former days in the sun with our Executive Director, MaryJane Eicke, and her best friend we all breathe a sigh of relief after Blizzard of 2016!

MaryJane went into full on "Storm Patrol" preparations, like a Drill Sergeant!  She directed our team with preparations on every front...Site Checks, Salt Provisions, Plow Truck Brigades, Back Up Generators, Lanterns, Rescue Planning, Backup Food Provisions, Back Up Water Stations, Back Up Electronics and Phone Capacities!  Our Willliamstown Brigades were ready and in force!

As if that wasn't enough, MaryJane insisted on sleeping over and being the General at the Front Desk all through the Storm to ensure our families and team had the perfect triage!  As a thank you, she did get the best Accommodations in the house with her own Private Suite, filled with the comforts of home, by our Dining and Maintenance Man!

Her own husband was worried the General would not want to return home to her usual accommodations!

In all seriousness, after the storm, many of our precious residents thanked her so much for staying with them, as they said she made them feel safe!  We honor and salute our General MaryJane for a Job Well Done!


Hopefully, we can look forward to more days in the sun coming soon!!!
