The residents and staff of Hoffman SummerWood Community of West Hartford wanted to thank the various local service agencies for taking such good care of them throughout the year. So, they boarded a bus and went around town bringing lunch and bouquets of balloons to the folks at the fire and police departments and ambulance service. Delivery personnel were also greeted with the same show of appreciation when they visited SummerWood on their rounds.
