Bossier Senior Gets Best 100th Birthday Thanks to Our Community

Our Community Just Did the Most Epic Thing Ever.

We all came together to make a 100th-birthday epic.

The Blake of Bossier City is an assisted living community that asked for our help. They have a resident that is turning 100 years old. What does this special resident want for her birthday? Birthday cards.

Meet Betty, or Feisty Betty as Some Call Her

A staff member at the Blake described her as “a feisty funny lady, with a sweet smile. Betty always has the employees laughing”. Betty has seen Shreveport-Bossier change right before her eyes. She went to Byrd High School and after high school she attended LSU Betty was very involved in the community and loved to volunteer she was also a member of Junior League. One thing Betty still loves is receiving mail and reading it. So the staff at the Blake in Bossier have called on their friends and family to send mail to reach the goal of 100 cards by her 100th birthday.

At first, we were short by 55 cards. However, our community responded in a wonderful way.

The goal was to have Betty see 100 cards on her 100th birthday. However, we surpassed the goal by 141 cards. A grand total of 241 cards made it to Mrs.Betty on her 100th birthday.
