ALFA received over 900 submissions from residents of senior living communities of which 47 received this recognition. A collage made of torn pieces of paper,  Mandell's beach scene titled "Great Grandmother and Great Grandson" will be featured along with other winners on a t-shirt and at the ALFA website at www.alfa.org.

When asked how she felt about the award, Mandell replied that she "made a hole in the ceiling, I jumped so high with excitement."
