Each summer Juniper Village begins our quarterly Alive in
All Seasons focus on Staying Connected. We promote staying connected to the
community, the environment and each other. In July we shed light on staying
connected to our community through volunteerism. Do you know that, as a
company, we receive more than 10,000 hours of precious volunteer time each
year? We have many volunteers, both human and animal, who contribute to our
mission of nurturing the spirit of life. Elizabeth Andrew said it best,
“volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.” This
month we honor all of the wonderful volunteers who make time to share a bit of
their heart with us. We appreciate those who lead groups in our communities;
those who share their unique skills and talents with our residents; those who
provide friendly visits to our residents and give a reassuring hug or
comforting puppy kiss; and the many, many other special people who enhance our lives.
This month as we focus on volunteerism we invite you to find
a way that you can make a difference. Whether helping us at Juniper Village or
another organization, volunteering has countless emotional and physical health
benefits. Volunteering gives a boost not only to those receiving, but to those
giving of their time as well.
Review our full calendar and make time to join us for any
and all events.
This month we highlight our Ambassador Program and other
volunteer opportunities for residents. In addition to volunteer opportunities,
we invite you to join us during July for our summer celebrations and share our
thanks as we honor those who Stand In Integrity with us.
