Administrator, Amy Rich 207-846-5610 amy.rich@islandcommons.com

We sadly bid goodbye to our dear friend, mentor, and advisor Virginia Ballard . Ginny was with The Commons since the very beginning, and volunteered countless hours serving as our physician’s assistant. No one could better express what Ginny meant to us than our administrator, Amy Rich:

“Ginny was my beacon of light who guided me for 14 years. She was a hero, a selfless leader, our champion, and a true guardian angel on earth. I’m better for having known her, and the world was better place with her in it. They say you can’t teach compassion, but that’s exactly what Ginny did. She was all our example.”

Thank you to all who have made a donation to Island Commons in Ginny’s memory. She would be pleased to know your gifts will help us carry on her legacy of loving, compassionate care at Island Commons.

Here is a book of deep wisdom from a prophetic rabbi who has for fifty years worked to promote a progressive spirit of renewal that connects Jews, Christians, and people of other faiths. We all experience earthquakes in our lives--social, personal, religious. From those earthquakes renewal and new life can come forth if we learn to dance in the midst of the earthquake. –Amazon Book Group in person at the Library and...
