THANK YOU WARM HEARTH!
We would like to personally thank everyone who participated and helped in making the 2017 WHV Homecoming Resident Appreciation event a huge success.  By request, we are including the poem read at the Pep Rally, written by resident, Maria Nikoleyczik.  We have also included a picture of our 2017 Homecoming King and Queen, Don Chalupka and Lillian McPherson.  
Thanks to all for making Warm Hearth Village your home!
Away from the traffic
Almost in the woods
I found my piece of haven
Just come and take a look
The trees are majestic
The bushes and flowers are a delight
No one can deny that's a beautiful sight
A mile and a half will take us though this peaceful scene
And along the way you may find something you have never seen
An unusual flower or an unfamiliar bird
Makes one wonder about this God-given earth.
Thank God for Warm Hearth!
