POPLAR RUN RESIDENT SPOTLIGHT

Names: Clarence and Miriam Seifrit
Residents Since: 2003
Their Story: Clarence and Miriam Seifrit have lived at Poplar Run since July of 2003. They were ready for a change and upon touring Poplar Run they knew they wanted to live here. In a matter of months they were enjoying their new apartment and lifestyle. Everyone at Poplar Run knows Clarence and Miriam. Miriam's genuine concern for her fellow residents is always apparent. She's genuinely full of encouragement and seeks to uplift team members and residents alike. Clarence's quick wit and ability to crack a joke on nearly every subject under the sun constantly endear him to everyone.
The Seifrits are so enthusiastic to spread the word about life at Poplar Run, we've featured them in a number of advertising campaigns. They're known from Birdsboro to Cleona and everywhere in between!
The couple is always on the go... They are both members of the Poplar Run Voices of Praise Choir and assist the marketing department by frequently giving tours to prospective residents. No tour is complete without stopping by the Seifrits' apartment! Miriam is the former president of the Resident Association and is still a member of the Library Committee. She also helps out at the main receptionist desk over the lunch hour. Clarence loves to golf and does so an average of twice a week. He spends considerable time in the woodshop, and has also been known to dust off his trombone and make some noise now-and-then.

Names: Donald and Patricia Schwenk
Residents Since: 2004
Their Story: Donald and Pat Schwenk have lived at Poplar Run since July of 2004. Their apartment is on the ground floor of the building, which includes a close-up view of all of nature's happenings. Everyday they receive a visit from their "adopted squirrel" that nibbles on the food inside their bird feeder.
The Schwenks are members of the EC Church and have volunteered at the Village for many years. They cheerfully lend a hand wherever needed and have played the roles of Santa and Mrs. Claus for the skilled nursing unit Christmas parties. Donald has donned his Easter Bunny suit many years for the team member and resident annual egg hunt. Even in the hottest of weather, you'll never hear him complain about being covered in white fur and having children climbing on his lap posing for pictures! They also assist in giving tours to prospective residents.
As residents they also participate in a variety of activities. Donald is a Bingo Caller for weekly independent living bingo games and Patricia works in the resident Gift Ghop. They both sing in the Poplar Run Voices of Praise Choir and also make sure that the various resident collections on display in the showcase in the main lobby are rotated on a regular basis. Together they have a real heart for making Poplar Run warm and enjoyable for their fellow residents.
