Gratitude Tree
the making of our Gratitude Tree
Anna Hagler was born in 1927 in San Francisco as a first generation American to her German mother and Italian father. She met her husband during her junior year in high school, and had three children who bore her seven grandchildren, who then bore her six great-grandchildren. Anna was a preschool teacher in Walnut Creek, but her favorite job was being a mother and grandmother. After retiring, Anna and her husband traveled the world and even became Golden Gate Tours leaders! Anna is an animal lover, and enjoy crafts, gardening, scenic rides, cooking, coloring, dressing up, and spending time with her big, loving family. We are proud to nominate Aurora Bulahan as our Employee Spotlight this month! Aurora has been working with us at Carlton for nearly 13 years. She has two daughters and one threeyear-old grandchild. Her favourite food is salmon, especially with baked salmon! She likes to shop and watch her Filipino soap operas, but her favourite thing to do is spending time with her grand-daughter. Aurora s favourite thing about working for Carlton is the funny remarks the residents say sometimes. She also finds her job to be extremely rewarding and fulfilling, and loves helping residents who cannot help themselves. Aurora s favourite team is the Oakland Warriors, and her favourite colour is blue.
