"Keeping It Green" in Williamstown!

As this month of August begins to wind down, summer beach days sadly draw to a close and college students begin to settle in their dorms, it is time to clean out the old and welcome in the new!

As we continue our Celebration of the Environment: "Breathe in Life" theme, we are Keeping it Green at Juniper Village in Williamstown!  We just hosted our 5th Annual Free Community Wide Shredder Event!  We had an overwhelming attendance at this year's event!  People were lined up all down the Black Horse Pike past the new Walmart waiting in line to shred all of their documents! Our Very Own Shredder Expert, Tim, advised me later that the truck has a capacity of 10,000 pounds & we filled it to 3/4 full!  We had over 150 cars full of people here to celebrate a beautiful summer event, while doing something great for the environment! It was a great time had by all!

Our residents also enjoyed our Summer Gardens tour outing as well, having a wonderful day enjoying the environment!  The ladies looked like Hollywood Divas!

We hope you will join us for our upcoming fall events and we will "See You In September" as the song goes!

We've Got a Lot Going On!

This month we kicked off our “Alive in All Seasons” theme of: The Environment: "Breathe in Life"! as we were treated to a wonderful and very informative presentation on "Living In The Green" by: Ferida Wolff.  Ferida is a published author, strict vegetarian, and dedicated environmental activist!  If that isn't enough, she is also the sister of our very own employee, Ronnie! Ferida had a very interactive audience.

We then enjoyed welcoming new “Best Friends”, including our Maintenance Director Ty and resident Stu at our “Best Friends” Social.

We also hosted our Annual "Back To School" Book Bag Event, benefiting "Bells School" of Washington Township, NJ, with Su Canzonese, one of their wonderful teachers, and Pat, one of their nurses! Everyone enjoyed a great summer beach party, in honor this year of our beloved resident Doris Densten. We collected a great volume of new book bags and supplies for the children to head back to school with this year!  We also enjoyed the traditional Jamaican Steel Drum music as well as an Ice Cream Sunday fest.  Everyone had a great time.

Don't forget our Annual Free Shredder event will be held on Thursday, August 13th from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm. You don't want to miss it!

August 2015 Events in Williamstown, NJ: Breathe in Life

As we continue our summer focus on Staying Connected, we devote our August 2015 events in Williamstown, NJ at Juniper Village in Williamstown to connecting to the Environment. One of our Signature Programs is the Green Canopy Program. This program is designed to support healthier living for our residents and staff through environmentally conscious communities and events. This program directly supports this month’s focus on the environment and our vision to make the world a better place, a place where each of us can live fully throughout all seasons of life.

Margaret Mead reminds us that “We won't have a society if we destroy the environment.” To that end, Juniper Village has created Green Teams in each of our communities to support our environmental initiatives by assisting with our recycling and energy efficiency programs – such as using CFL light bulbs and Energy Star rated appliances, while making suggestions for additional programs to increase quality of life and promote sustainability in our communities. Have you met your Juniper Village Green Team? This month during our August 2015 events in Williamstown, NJ at Juniper Village at Williamstown our Green Teams will share their mission with the greater community by heading up initiatives to help others learn how to live a more sustainable life through our Wide-Scale Recycling Programs, our Environmental Stability Program and the Implantation of our Green Teams.
