(Whitewater Unites Lives submission) Brian Robinson is a WUL Hometown Hero, and has been nominated “For going more than the extra mile at Fairhaven since the lockdown due to COVID-19 by providing a mix of programming on the in-house TV channel, from travel adventures, interesting foods, animal adventures, and music; by organizing BINGO games which sometimes last for weeks; by inviting a parade of vintage vehicles and horses through the campus and Prairie Village, and by organizing special treats for all of the apartment residents twice a week.”

The nomination includes:  “Brian is the Leisure Services Director at Fairhaven.  I know that it is his job to provide all kinds of experiences for the residents who live in Fairhaven, but Brian has been going more than the extra mile since we have been on lockdown due to COVID-19.    Everything he does helps us cope with the tedium that can be brought on due to the virus.”

Brian said, “I am just a small part of all of the wonderful things going on here.”  He says his work is focused on helping to keep the spirits high at Fairhaven with sidewalk chalk, cards, letters and pen pals, etc.
