November 2015 Events in Cape Coral, FL: Cherish The Journey

Family is a simple word, with complex meaning. To some family is the people you are related to by blood, but to some family is the people you choose to hold in high regard, and to others family isn’t people at all, but animals – our beloved pets.

Regardless of the definition, family plays an important role in our personal journey. As the saying goes, “Family is what you make it.” Whether made of blood relatives, friends, colleagues or pets, your family can offer you the support you need to thrive.

This month we celebrate family and reflect on our personal journeys while creating new memories for the future. Join us as we reminisce about these journeys through autobiographical journaling. Plan to share with those less fortunate through our annual food drive from November 1-30 with all non-perishable food items being donated to a local food bank. Also interact and share with others through our community support groups, and know that you are not alone. Throughout the month we will also be hosting several family events as we celebrate family and give thanks. We encourage you to review our calendar and join us for any or all of our events and Cherish The Journey!

Our fabulous November 2015 events in Cape Coral, FL at Juniper Village at Cape Coral include our:

§  Food Drive Kick Off Event for a professional networking event in our courtyard for our official food drive kick off event, so please bring a non-perishable food item for our month-long food drive initiative in support of the Harry Chapin Food Bank to be entered in our prize drawing, and come mingle with your friends and colleagues and remember to bring your business cards on November 6^th from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.

§  “Candy Bar” Extravaganza as we satisfy your sweet tooth at our delectable “Candy Bar,” just like Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory we will have a flowing chocolate fountain (not a river, but close enough) with strawberries, marshmallows, and bananas for dipping with other tasty treats on November 24^th from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm.

October 2015 Events in Cape Coral, FL: Show Your Colors

Every October we turn our Alive in All Seasons focus to holidays and sports as we “Keep the Spirit” during this last celebratory quarter of the year. Sporting events are inevitably part of that celebration for many families.

According to Dr. Renee Clauselle, founder of Child and Family Psychology, “Bonding over sports — the highs and lows of the game — strengthens ties, helps us feel supported, and makes it easier for you to open up about personal things.” Think of sports as an opportunity to connect with others over a favorite – or even rival – team and learn more about each other. Even strangers can learn more about where they grew up, which teams they support, which sports they played and how those sports are different today. You may even learn something about your loved ones that you never knew. Perhaps great-grandma played softball in a women’s league during college. That would be something to pass along to future generations! Watching a sporting event can become so much more than plays and scores; it can become an opportunity to learn the history of someone you love.

Join us this month and “Show Your Colors” as we sponsor a local sports team, get into the spirit of the season with our Halloween Costume Party and honor those associates who go above and beyond with our annual Juniper Spirit Awards.

Our fabulous October 2015 events in Cape Coral, FL at Juniper Village at Cape Coral include our:

§  Black Hatters Witches Tea Party for all witches, ghosts and goblins, Juniper Village is hosting our annual “Red Hatters” tea party in celebration of Halloween, so please join us and our special guest servers for tea and cookies and some good old fashioned trick or treating fun on October 14^th from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm. (RSVP to 239-542-3121 by October 10^th.)

§  6th Annual Colorful Fall Festival as we welcome friends and families to our annual fall festival and let the little kid in you out for a day as we have fun with face painting, water games, a bounce house, and let’s not forget the hotdogs, cotton candy, and popcorn, so come and see how Juniper Village welcomes the fall season on October 17^th from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm. (RSVPs to 239-542-3121 appreciated but not necessary.)
