Cheryl Lang, Property Manager at Phoenix Manor
4 years Activity Director, 8 years Leasing Manager/Activity Director,
4 years Property Manager (16 years)
Phoenix Manor is an independent living apartment complex for 55 years or better. We have 450 units on 25 acres. Member of Crime Free Program, Maryvale Apartment Coalition.
Personal info: Single mother of 27 year old daughter who teaches English in the Tolleson High School District and 10 year foster daughter who both have been a member of the Phoenix Manor family. My oldest daughter started coming to activities at 10 years old and have enjoyed the seniors caring attitude towards her and treated her as if she was one their own grandchildren. And now my youngest has been coming to Phoenix Manor since 2 mos. old where the “grandmas” would take turns holding her and now watch as she becomes a young girl at the same place where my oldest started visiting here.
I enjoy working with the senior population because I have found over the years that many of our residents have such a diverse background, who remember a simpler time with fewer luxuries than we have now. Listening to the stories about their lives, families, work and more is such an opportunity for me to gain a perspective about what is important in life. They remind me what customer service is really all about and how to remain and have that human interaction even in our technological age we live in now. I look forward to many years as the manager at Phoenix Manor and hope I do not ever stop learning.

Meet Ms Vicky Moe. She is 100 years old, energetic, active, and one of the senior award recipients. She was a nurse prior to retiring and spends her time volunteering and helping others.
On Friday, October 26, 2012, I ask that you join with GFMP, a division of Diana Gregory Outreach Services, as it hosts its first annual fundraiser and senior awards luncheon to bring much needed attention and enthusiasm to senior health and nutrition.
The event, “A Celebration of Service and Excellence” will honor the accomplishments of seniors and the service coordinators that support them. All proceeds from the fundraiser will be used in direct benefit to senior nutrition and health. GFMP is on the front lines of senior nutrition. As an organization, 99% of the funds it raises go directly into the selection and delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables that serve over 5,000 seniors in the Greater Phoenix area.
Robert Ferguson
Many thanks to Robert Ferguson, Keynote speaker and Dr. Joel Martin, MC.

By the end of May, we will have staged over 60 farmers markets in the metropolitan Phoenix area in 2012. The balance of the year
looks to be equally spectacular as we begin to bring on new senior independent living facilities on board. We meet an unmet need and are being recognized for work that we do and want to thank all of you who have supported our efforts. We still need help with funding so that we can continue delivering healthy fresh fruits and vegetables to our seniors at reasonable prices. A small donation of $10.00 would be enough to provide one senior with a complimentary bag of fresh produce for a month or a donation of $100 for a year.
If you would like to learn about others ways you can help, please send us a message by filling out the form at the bottom of this page.
