Hi,
I had gone on the original ORANJ web site a number of times since the shut down began in mid-March 2020 but found no updates or Newsletters after January 2020.
Today 10/31/20 when I tried again I was pleasantly surprised to find the ORANGE BLOSSOM.
I have put the site on my desktop and look forward to signing in often.
The blog is a great idea. It seems like a good place where Association Presidents and Committee chairs could exchange experiences on how their CCRCs have handled different topics during the pandemic such as meals, communication and visitation. We even had a 5 day power outage during that August tropical storm with limited back-up power available.
Much success with the new site.

Andy, thanks for your comment. Yes, we hope to use the blog as a convenient way for leaders of NJ CCRCs to communicate, and are delighted that it may work!! When someone writes on a new topic, instead of approving the comment, I will copy it and start a new post on that topic. As I’m about to demonstrate with a post from Winchester Gardens.
Hi Maggie, Thanks for the reply. I note that your are Chair of the ORANJ Communications Committee. I am Chair of the CC at The Oaks. I look forward to seeing the post from Winchester Gardens.
I have been encouraging Springpoint to start its own blog so SP Communications Committees could share experiences and how to better communication with residents in a timely manner.

Will the ORANJ Blossom ever be published again?

Yes, the second issue of orange blossom will come out about the middle of April.
