Ecumen Roll-Out Attracts Media Attention
The launch of Ecumen was a bigger blast than a NASA launch. The Home Office celebrated
the new name at a special roll-out event with Twins great
Tony Oliva, administrators, housing managers and directors of nursing. Six
white doves named "We" "Create" "Home" "For" "Older" "Adults" were
released to commemorate Ecumen soaring to new heights. Tony "O," who originally
planned to stay for an hour, stayed for two to accommodate everyone’s photo and
autograph requests.
Ecumen residences shared cake with staff and residents on the "official
launch" day of Ecumen. The region’s largest newspaper the Star Tribune
did a wonderful feature on Ecumen and Kathryn Roberts. A we
ek later Ecumen was
the subject of the newspaper’s lead editorial. A feature story also appeared in
the Twin Cities Business Journal. You can read these clips in the news
section on webnet or on the Ecumen web site –
