This year as we begin the month of August, our focus is on our Alive In All Season's Theme of: The Environment-"Breathe In Life". We have many wonderful activities and events scheduled to reflect our dedication to being an integral part of caring for our environment, helping our community and celebrating life in abundance! In doing so, we began with wonderful resident birthday celebrations with families and friends enjoying their time together. In addition, we welcomed new residents and families to our community and enjoyed meet & greet socials as we became fast friends! Then as if that wasn't wonderful enough, residents have enjoyed 50's celebrations on our patio with ice cream sodas, Sundays and root beer float parties!
We have enjoyed presentations on going green, maintaining and protecting our environment and best of all we had our annual community wide outreach celebration just yesterday and it was amazing! This year we decided that in light of the devastation by Hurricane Sandy to our Jersey Shore and entire coastline, our outreach this year would be to raise funds for the NJ Relief Fund to "Restore The Jersey Shore"! Residents,care associates, families, friends, partners in caring and community guests all participated in making this event a huge success! We celebrated with great food, refreshments, ice cream, summer beach party music, hoola hoops, dancing and much much more! We also weresurprised with a very special guest appearance by our very own, Miss New Jersey, Mrs. Joy Carmack, whom also was 3rd Runner Up for Mrs. America. I must say our Miss New Jersey was amazing. She took the time to take photos with everyone and even dance with our gentlemen as well as hoola hoop & line dance! The very best part of all is that we have raised $1613.00 which we will deliver to the NJ Relief Fund to help in the relief effort to restore the Jersey Shore!
