The Love Of Quilting Is Their Common Thread!

We felt very fortunate to once again be invited to receive our annual donations of the most beautiful quilts for our residents. To describe or show photos of the amazing work these dedicated women do, does not due justice. It is something you have to set your eyes on. Including our residents on this incredible event has been a tradition. As we entered the church, we were once again speechless. There were well over 400 quilts that were made with magical and loving hands. Our residents could not say enough to describe what they saw. These quilts were going to be donated to many different organizations. Feeling proud and honored to have been chosen a “Thank You” was given from us at Juniper Village. The funny story that was shared from Marjorie (a very proud resident of Juniper and at the age of 94) about her memories of her grandmother quilting left everyone laughing.  She proudly showed her quilt to everyone when returning home. We are eternally grateful for the generosity of the Cape Coral Quilters Guild.

March 2016 Events in Cape Coral, FL: Your Treasure is Within

As we bring down the curtain on our Creative Expressions series we focus this month on Drama. Juliette Binoche said, “I think acting is about forgetting yourself in order to give the best of yourself. It's passing through you more than you're creating it. You're not the flower, but the vase which holds the flower.”

Through dramatic performance we are able to forget about ourselves while becoming someone else, if only for a moment. We can be transported to another time, another place and another way of thinking. With all of our inhibitions set aside we focus this month on breaking out of our shells to share a bit of ourselves with wild abandon through our weekly drama clubs which will culminate in a fantastic performance or reading of dramatic prose. We invite you to join us in this enlightening journey of self-discovery through the magic of theater this month. We will also be attending theatrical performances around town, where we can let our inner critic loose. One last opportunity to become someone else is offered during our Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations, where everyone can be Irish for the day. Join us as we feast on traditional Irish foods such as corned beef and cabbage, soda bread, shepherd’s pie and more! Lastly, March would not be complete without honoring the dramatic achievements of others with our own Oscar Party. This month we invite you to let your inner star shine at Juniper Village.
