Welcome New Beginnings: January Events

It is hard to believe how time has flown and we now, once again, welcome in a new year—2014! This January, as part of our Alive in All Seasons program we will be celebrating the magic of music. Music has long been recognized as a healing tool in the writings of Pythagoras, Aristotle and Plato. A quote by Plato helps us understand the enormity and power of music; “music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything”.

Music is indeed part of our souls, our imaginations, our lives. It is no wonder that people love music; it inspires us, sparks our minds, taps into our creativity, heals our souls, motivates us to dance, to laugh, to cry. This January we will celebrate music in all its glory!

We will be hosting several open events at our community this month. Please join us for our New Year’s Day celebration featuring sounds of the Big Bands at 2:00 pm on January 1^st, our  2014 Community Kick-Off Event at 3:00 pm on January 7^th, our New Beginnings 2014 Health Care Update presentation at 4:00 pm on January 15^th, and our Elvis’s Birthday Bash 50’s Celebration Event at 3:00 pm on January 23^rd. We encourage you to review our calendar for other offerings and attend any or all of the activities that are of interest to you.

It’s going to be another great month here at Juniper Village at Williamstown. Let us join together in music and “Welcome New Beginnings”. 

Celebration of the Little & Most Precious Things!

This season as we Celebrate Our Alive In All Seasons Theme of
Tradition: "Celebrate The Little Things", we are touched so deeply
with the little things that are so simple, yet so very meaningful!
Here at Juniper Village of Williamstown, we celebrate and nurture the
spirit of life at all seasons and in the month of December we kick it
into the highest gear! We nurture the special and unique traditions
and customs of all of our residents, families, associates and friends
throughout the community! We make it of special priority to give
everyone the opportunity to grow as an individual at all stages of
life! As it is said, the wisest people are "Life Long Learners" and
at Juniper of Williamstown we bring these offerings at every possible
moment. This season we learned of the special traditions and customs
of our Jewish residents and friends as we took a journey through the
rich Jewish culture and celebrated the beautiful season of Hanukkah.
We held special menorah lighting services daily and celebrated with
rich Klezmer music and cultural stories of old!

In addition, we celebrated the joy of friendship and bonds of families
as we held many wonderful and rich events open to everyone celebrating
all the shopping for the season and having hot cocoa with old friends
and spending beautiful memories with family and even 3rd and 4th
generations!

We look forward to seeing you at all of our Holiday Festive Events!
Join us as together, we create treasured memories throughout this most
beautiful season!

Celebrate Little Things: December Events

"The more you praise and celebrate your life,

the more there is in life to celebrate" ~Oprah Winfrey

 

This December, as part of our Alive In All Seasons program

we will be focusing on traditions. Traditions play such an

important role within our lives by providing a shared identity

and sense of belonging, comfort and joy. Traditions allow us

to tap into our deep and rich cultural, family and religious

heritage. Our Alive In All Seasons tagline this month of

"Celebrate Little Things" reminds us that these traditions,

many of which are small, little things, can serve as the glue

that binds us together and makes our lives great.

 

Celebrations will be abundant this holiday season here at

Juniper Village as we share memories from our residents,

families and our associates about traditions, beliefs and

customs that have shaped our lives. We will learn about how

other cultures celebrate winter holidays, complete with the

singing of carols and the sampling of some delicious ethnic

treats.

 

You are cordially invited to join us in celebration for our

Annual Holiday Cocktail Event on Dec. 3rd, and to celebrate

a wonderful Holiday performance by Tom DelMoore on

Dec. 8th. Then we will host a Holiday Carol Performance

on Dec. 19th followed by a delightful old fashioned Holiday

Show with a traditional Barber Shop Quartet. We will follow

these celebrations with a most beautiful holiday concert

featuring the harp artistry of Miss Kitty Jauregui on Dec. 27th

and to conclude this exciting year of 2013, we will celebrate

with a festive New Year's Eve Concert Celebration of World

Music with Iosif Mikolko!

 

So, this holiday season please stop by

and celebrate with us as we

"Celebrate Little Things"
