September 2016 Events in Cape Coral, FL: Spread Your Joy


As the air begins to cool and summer wanes, Juniper Village ends our “Stay Connected” series by recognizing Friendship and Joy. What is it that brings you joy? Is it the wet nose of a newborn pup? The smile of your first grandchild? The taste of a triple chocolate ice cream cone? Whatever it is we invite you to share that joy with others at Juniper Village this month.

Much attention has been paid to studies regarding the effects of stress on your health, but what about the effects of joy? The landmark “Nun Study,” as it's often known, revealed that positive emotion is correlated with longevity: 90% of the most cheerful quarter of nuns was alive at the age of eighty-five, whereas only 34% of the least cheerful quarter lived to that age. Similarly, 54% of the most cheerful fourth was alive at age ninety-four, versus 11% of the least cheerful. Of the 678 sisters in the original study about four dozen are still living. So go ahead, grab that triple chocolate cone it might just extend your life!

Join us this month as we celebrate friendship and staying connected with calendar events such as our annual daffodil planting and our home warming, birthday party and Best Friend initiatives.

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

§  Aging To Perfection Three-Part Program which inspires our senior population to continue to live life to the fullest, as our residents have enjoyed this program for more than four years so we have now opened it up to others, since just because you reach a certain age, doesn't mean that issues that affect our younger population stop being relevant, things such as bullying, addiction and peer pressure still exist, so join us to learn more on September 13th, 20th, and 27th from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm. (RSVP by September 9th to 239-542-3121.)

§  9th Annual “Comeoniwannameetcha Luau” because we always have surprises in store as we mix it up each year to spice up what has become a traditional favorite with our residents and families, so come dressed in your best Hawaiian attire and join our residents and staff for a tropical afternoon of fun on September 16th from 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm. (RSVPs not required, but appreciated by September 15th to 239-542-3121.)

We look forward to sharing our September 2016 events in Cape Coral, FL at Juniper Village at Cape Coral with you as you Spread Your Joy.
