Abundant Christian Living Community Assisted Living residents and staff have enjoyed celebrating “Season of Reflection” this week in observance of National Assisted Living Week. 


National Assisted Living week is celebrated each year on the 2nd week of September. Both residents and staff have participated in activities involving remembering special relationships, music, and school clubs/sports. They enjoyed inter-generational activities with our community Church groups receiving cards from the children. 


The highlight of the week were the multiple food items that included ice cream Sundays, pizza, breakfast items and pasta. An enjoyable week has been shared by all. We are looking forward to many more memories and experiences to share with each other during Assisted Living Week 2024.

Gwynn Mettetal and her husband, Dave Vollrath, moved to the Tower at Abundant Christian Living Community in July 2018. However, this wasn’t the first time that Gwynn had spent time at the community. Gwynn’s grandparents, Gwendolyn (her namesake) and Ray Mettetal lived in an apartment in the Sherwood building for several years. After Ray’s passing in 1972, Gwendolyn continued to live in the community for several years until her passing. Gwynn recalls bringing her own daughters to visit her grandmother as well as several great aunts and uncles who also lived there. 


Gwynn was recently going through some old photos and came across a picture of her grandparents sitting in what was then the Appalachian Christian Village Library around 1972. You can see a picture in the background of the “new” ACV campus. The picture brought back many fond memories for Gwynn and the summer she spent her Spring Break from ETSU with her grandparents at ACV.  


Gwynn stated, “So for me, moving here was coming home”, when sharing how she felt about moving to the Tower all these years later. 


Some interesting facts about Gwynn’s family: My dad was Martin Jerome (Jerry) who worked for Eastman. At that time, he was working in NYC as head of the Eastman advertising department. Think “Mad Men” but with a very sweet, strait-laced east-Tennessean in charge.
 

My grandmother’s dad was the only doctor in Carter County, Dr. Wallace, in the Watauga community. Dr. Wallace decided that the first grandson, my Uncle Ray, would be a doctor. Uncle Ray was one of the few doctors in town at that time, with an office in a house on East Watauga. He still made house calls, and apparently delivered most of the baby-boom babies. His son, Ray Jr, is a neurologist in town.


Pictured are Gwynn’s grandparents, Gwendolyn and Ray Mettetal sitting in the Sherwood Library around 1972 and Gwyn and her husband Dave who currently live in the Tower.
