Your Treasure is Within: March Events

Our Alive in All Seasons program is alive and well at Juniper Village. This quarter’s seasonal theme is on Creative Expression: “Explore Your Creativity” and serves to promote our philosophy of encouraging an active body, an engaged mind and a fulfilled spirit. For March, we will turn our focus to Performance: “Your Treasure is Within”.

This month on March 2, 2014 we look forward to the 86^th celebration of the Academy Awards. As we watch popular comedian and talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres host the festivities while the beautiful stars dressed in their finery walk the red carpet we can’t help to stop, to pause and reminisce of all of the great performances of past years. Katherine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Marlon Brando, Robert DeNiro, Tom Hanks, Jack Nicholson, Vivien Leigh, Meryl Streep, Peter Ustinov and Dustin Hoffman; the list goes on! In addition to guessing who might win the Oscars for 2014, this month we will be learning about and experiencing all different types of great performance art, enjoying cultural events and trying our hand at acting in drama club.

It’s going to be a theatrical month at Juniper Village at Cape Coral filled with creativity, great experiences and memorable performances! You are cordially invited to attend a performance by the Lee County Junior Drill Team on March 4^th at 6:00 pm, our Sounds of Lake Kennedy presentation on March 13^th at 2:30 pm, our Lucky Irish Luncheon on March 17^th at noon, our Friends and Family Murder Mystery Dinner on March 25^th at 4:00 pm (RSVP by March 17^th), or any of our other activities (see our Newsletter for a complete listing).

So come in, and join in on the act to find that “Your Treasure is Within”.

Our Snowflake Tea Party

As we “Welcome” the winter months Florida style, a celebration is in order. Our ladies gathered for our annual “Snowflake Tea Party” with the most gracious hostess, “Ginny Yates”. The tables were decorated so elegantly with a winter theme. The exquisite china that was used came from three generations. Our ladies were anxious for the party to begin. Ginny had brought games for everyone to enjoy and we were asked to play a tune on the kazoo. With a few tries, success was ours.  Hot cocoa and decorated cupcakes were served. No one refused to wear the sparkling snowflake head-boppers, regardless of how silly we looked. Everyone truly had an amazing time. 

Thank you Ginny for the remarkable job you always do !!!!!!!!!     

Valentines Day At Juniper Village LAMA Style

As we welcome Valentines Day with open arms our residents were pleasantly surprised with a visit from LAMA (Latin American Motorcycle Association).   The roar of the motorcycles excited everyone. Our guests came with armfuls of roses, chocolates and loving hugs for all. The smiles on all the faces were priceless. As our residents received their gifts many shared stories with our guests of their Valentines past. Observing  everyone, it was so amazing how two different generations and cultures came together  and embraced one another. Thank you LAMA for making our Valentines Day celebration at Juniper such a success!!!!!!!
