Fred Tesch, this month's spotlighted residents, is 80 years young and makes the most of his days at Pomperaug Woods.
“I’m up at 7am every day, and I meet the Continental Breakfast Club (CBC) at 8am,” said Fred. “The CBC is a group of about 6-8 of us that pick up our ...breakfasts and chat together every morning. I’m also Vice President of the Resident Council, so there are monthly meetings I go to. By far, my favorite activity is the weekly Happy Hour. It’s great to see everyone come together and enjoy each other’s company. I think it’s the community-wide gatherings that I look forward to the most. The Cabaret nights are fun — plenty of music and jokes. The Christmas Tree Lighting was terrific — it was a great way to kick off the holiday season. I just enjoy the camaraderie of it all.”
