The Toast to Ave Maria Celebration Gala and Dinner was held on March 7 at Chickasaw Country Club. As stated on the invitation, the elegant dinner “honored the past, celebrated the present, and toasted to the future” of Ave Maria Home. The evening was also a celebration to honor Frank Gattuso, who served the Home for nearly 30 years as Administrator, then CEO. This inaugural event benefited the residents of Ave Maria Home, which was founded in 1956 as a faith-based, non-profit senior living community in Bartlett. The Home cares for over 150 elders daily through Assisted Living, Memory Care, Long-Term Care, and Skilled Rehabilitation programs. avemariahome.org
