Doug Hay, executive director of the Chatham Retirement Resort, wanted to do something different to interact with the residents of the Keil Drive retirement facility.
So he introduced Dining with Doug, where each month, residents who have a birthday in that given month sit down for a special dinner with Hay.
“I wanted to do something for the residents each month,” he said.
The birthday brigade each received hand-delivered invitations to come and eat in a separate dining area. Everyone could also enjoy a free bar for the dinner.
Hay, who has more than two decades in the retirement industry, has been in Chatham for about a year.
