Dedication of Alois Courtyard Garden

Family, friends, and staff of the Alois Center joined together for a dedication ceremony on Friday, November 2, for the dedication of the Alois Courtyard Garden in memory of  a former resident. 

 The family dedicated many volunteer hours into "sprucing up" the garden area; painting the outdoor furniture, and adding a fountain area and small mosaic stepping stones in the center of the Garden area. 

Alois staff followed their progress throughout the summer months and through the final completion: A mural designed by the family and created by Suzanne Fisher Mosaics. The mural has been placed on the wall in the Courtyard Garden for all to see as they visit the area. 

The mosaic design has special meaning to the family as well as the staff of the Alois Center.  The mosaic was designed with the residents favorite colors as well as the gazebo where the family spent time when visiting their loved one.  The leaves of the tree have words of gratitude and love from the family for the staff. 

The Alois staff sends their heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the family for all their love and dedication.
