July is the month in which we celebrate our nation’s
independence with fireworks, cook outs and by cherishing our own personal
freedoms. Nelson Mandela reminds us “to be free is not merely to cast off one’s
chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”
In that spirit join us as we honor those who “Stand in Integrity.”
Dr. Barbara Killinger, PhD, offers this definition of
integrity: “Integrity is a personal choice, an uncompromising and predictably
consistent commitment to honor moral, ethical, spiritual and artistic values
and principles.” To “Stand in Integrity” does not mean that you are flawless or
perfect, it means that you admit your shortcomings; you have influence, not
because people like you, but because people trust you, believe you, and follow
you.
We will also celebrate this month’s Alive in All Seasons
theme of Volunteerism by volunteering our time to others, honoring those who
volunteer with us, including our Resident Ambassadors; and learning more about
volunteer opportunities in the greater community.
Our fabulous activity offerings this month include our Joyous
Days of Summer Community Event where we celebrate with the best summer music
vibe, balloon artists, and festive summer refreshments on July 1st
from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm; our 4th of July Patriotic Concert Celebration
featuring the Lenny B. Duo as we salute America’s great and honorable history
on July 4th from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm; or our Annual Volunteer
Celebration Luncheon where we honor all of our precious volunteers with a festive
summer meal complete with strolling music and more on July 16th from
1:30 pm to 3:00 pm. Take a look at our calendar and join us for any and all
activities that will help you make the most of these last few weeks of summer.
