July 2016 Events in Cape Coral, FL: Stand in Integrity

Ah...the good old summer time filled with lazy, sunny days, ice cold treats, Independence Day celebrations, and get-togethers at the beach. Another sure indication of summer is our Alive in All Seasons theme of Volunteerism.

July is the perfect month to honor all of the many volunteers who contribute thousands of hours of time in service to our communities. From our four-legged volunteers to those of the two legged variety we are proud to say we receive more than 10,000 hours of precious time each year. We simply could not do it without all of your help, and this month we honor you. We will also be promoting the spirit of volunteerism by volunteering our time to help others. If you have some spare time on your hands consider joining us for a volunteer activity or better yet volunteer your time with us, we’d love to have you. What qualities make a good volunteer? Energy, passion, flexibility, creativity, reliability, commitment and perhaps most important of all – integrity.

Volunteerism benefits all parties involved. In addition to making new friends, volunteering also helps increase your self-confidence, provides a sense of purpose, combats depression and helps you stay physically healthy. Helping others also kindles happiness, as the London School of Economics found the more people volunteered, the happier they were.

In addition to volunteering opportunities, plan to join us during July for our summer celebrations and share our thanks as we honor those who Stand In Integrity with us.

Our fabulous July 2016 events in Cape Coral, FL at Juniper Village at Cape Coral include our:

§  Music & Memories “Alive Inside” Screening if you missed our first viewing of this inspirational and emotional story “Alive Inside” we will once again be screening this very powerful movie in our second floor community room; this film dramatically portrays the power of music and memory and the astounding effects that music has on our senior population and light refreshments will be served on July 7^th from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm. (RSVP by July 6^th to 239-542-3121.)

§  9th Annual Boogie Woogie Happy Hour so swing on over and enjoy the sounds of musicians Bob and Joan as they entertain us with their rendition of R&B songs from the past; also, in keeping with this month’s Juniper Village theme, “Volunteerism”, we will be collecting donations of sun block, hand sanitizer and chap stick, which will be delivered to our troops overseas by the Red Cross on July 15^th from 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm.

§  How Volunteering Changed My Life as we welcome our special guest speaker Linda, Juniper Village Connections Department volunteer, who suffers from Muscular Dystrophy and recently gave a very remarkable and touching speech to the members at the Lee County MDA about the life changing effect volunteering at our community has brought to her; she is honored to give an encore of her speech at our community so that the people whose lives she touches each day can hear her powerful story on July 19^th from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm.

We look forward to sharing our July 2016 events in Cape Coral, FL at Juniper Village at Cape Coral with you as you Stand in Integrity.
