PLEASE NOTE: Lynn and JD in the Activity Office are happy to help all of our residents, however, there are times when they are working on something that needs their full attention. When that happens they close their door which means "Do Not Disturb". You can choose to wait outside their office until they finish what they are working on or who they are talking to, but please don't just walk in or knock. Unless it is a dire emergency, the door is shut for a reason!
