I want to let you know how much we appreciated the recent concert by soprano Dana Vachharajani & Jeffrey Grossman at Goddard House. Dana and Jeffrey are wonderful artists and enthralling entertainers. They interacted beautifully with our residents and gave a concert that was appreciated and which gave us all a large dose of joy.
