Recently, The Mayflower Community Activities staff assisted Beebe Assisted Living and Health Center residents to cast absentee ballots for the November 6th General Election. Pictured is Gloria Clay making a deposit in the ballot box. Two employees from the Poweshiek County Auditor’s office brought their voting materials and box to Mayflower for the event. 23 residents cast secret ballots during the day on Monday, October 22, 2018. These two representatives observed that Mayflower has been the only healthcare facility in the area to sponsor such an event. Chery Nelson, Mayflower Activity Director, observed, “I spent much time filling out requests for absentee ballots and registration forms for those new to Poweshiek County. In addition, there were many calls to the Auditor’s office. Believe me; it’s worth it to see all of our residents exercising their right to vote and putting their ballot in the box!” Staying alive and active!
