Dear Editor,
On behalf of the residents and the six hundred staff members of Waveny LifeCare Network, we are pleased to extend our deepest gratitude to New Canaan Chamber Music for their exceptional performance at last weekend’s Together in Harmony Concert.
For New Canaan Chamber Music to acknowledge, through their gift of music, the heroic efforts of New Canaan’s healthcare workers, first responders, town employees and teachers alike was truly remarkable – I know the performance will be cherished by all who attended.
A special thanks to Chairman Tom Butterworth, Jane Fox and Valeri Whitmer for putting together the logistics, along with our deepest appreciation to Andrew Armstrong for his performance at Waveny’s Farm Road campus last Thursday evening to a captivated audience of residents, families and staff. Andrew’s concert was officially our first event open to fully-vaccinated family members and friends in nearly two years.
Mr. Armstrong’s music filled our halls and our hearts. Seeing Main Street alive with visitors, friends and families and the sound of music brought all in attendance tremendous joy.
Waveny is blessed to have its caring and committed staff, who exemplify compassion through support of our patients and our community, recognized by so many. We are privileged to have gathered in celebration with all of you with music that warmed the soul of all those present.
May you continue to be blessed, as you have blessed us.
Warmest regards to all,
Russell R. Barksdale, Jr., MPA/MHA, FACHE
President and CEO, Waveny LifeCare Network
