RESIDENT ASSOCIATION OF LAUREL LAKE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY OF HUDSON OH

RESIDENT PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES. As members transition from independent living to assisted living, long-term care and skilled-nursing care and eventually die, they or their survivors donate used household furniture and other items to the Association. The Association sells these items to other members and to the general public. Funds received, except for nominal amounts spent for supplies and fees, are either used to plan, develop, implement and support social and educational programs and activities for its members, or are donated to non-profit organizations whose services benefit the Association's members. Recurring resident programs and activities have included supporting residents who plant and tend vegetable and flower gardens; knitting caps for children; hand make wooden toys at Christmas for needy children, growing, gathering, purchasing, arranging and delivering flowers to long-term care and skilled-nursing residents; maintaining a library of more than 6,500 volumes plus audio and video CDs and DVDs; delivering used fabric and clothing for recycling or distribution to the poor and homeless; and organizing and presenting educational programs on recycling and care of the environment.
