The Heat Wave is over!

Today will be fantastic in the beautiful residential area of Central San Rafael. The heat wave of the past few days is over and we are back to our normal wonderful temperatures! We are so fortunate that even on the hottest of days....when the clock hits 5:30 and the breeze starts to come over Mt Tamalpais and the sea breeze off the bay.....it always cools down.

Today celebrated our Dining Room with its spectacular view of Mt.Tam! The residents had a fantastic meal of chateaubriand and champagne!

Don't you wish you had been here for that!

Hugo and Raul! Thank you for everything!

Boris the Cat..Our Community's Pet

Boris the Cat lives on our campus and is much adored by everyone in the community. Now, let me tell you his story as to how he became Aldersly Community’s pet …
Boris belonged to a wonderful neighboring family. Here and there Boris would come and visit to give a friendly hello to all of our residents. Early in the morning Boris would come in, walk up and down from building to building admiring the beautiful campus. Before the day came to an end Boris would make his way back home to his family.
Boris’ former family decided to move to San Anselmo and take Boris with them as well. The day came, Boris and his family made their way to a new location for a fresh start. Days passed without Boris and his usual visit to campus and greeting to the residents. Until one day, a familiar meow was heard. To our surprise, Boris had found his way back from San Anselmo and had arrived to his familiar campus where his other family greatly missed him. As excited as we were at Aldersly to see the familiar sight of Boris on campus again, we had to notify his family back in San Anselmo that Boris had found his way back to Aldersly. Boris’ family came in to campus in a split of a second to pick him up and take him back to San Anselmo. Another set of days went by, and once again the residents began to miss the presence of our friendly cat. Now, one early morning, as residents made their way to breakfast, a recognizable figure could be seen by the community’s entrance. The residents were amazed to learn Boris had made his way back once again, on his own, from San Anselmo to the Aldersly community in San Rafael. Boris’ family realized Aldersly was where Boris wanted to be and decided to give him an early retirement letting him stay at Aldersly. Since then, the Aldersly Community adopted Boris as the campus pet. Boris knew since the very first day, Aldersly was the place where he wanted to retire, but most important, it is where he feels at home the most.
