Food Drive Success

The Juniper Village Food Drive has been very successful. To date we have collected over 300 lbs of food and each day the wonderful donations continue to come in! During this holiday season, as always, it warms the heart to see the great generosity of our families and residents. We would like to extend a big Thank You to all participants.  Donations are being accepted through the end of the month.  Happy Holidays!

Annual Thanksgiving Dinner

This is a clear case of "the pictures tell the story", but here's a little background: Juniper Village of Chatham's annual pre-holiday dinner saw dozens of families enjoying a traditional Thanksgiving feast with all the fixings.

Topping off the afternoon's festivities was dessert served by youngsters from a local Girl Scout troop followed by singer Bob Marino crooning standards from the Great American songbook. In sum, a surefire recipe for warm holiday memories for many years to come.

  

Halloween Door Decorating

Juniper Village residents along with Best Friends on the staff summoned their best holiday spirit to decorate doors during the Halloween season.

To maximize participants' creative potential, the Connections Department turned the decorating into a contest, with residents voting for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place favorites. Mrs. Rose Garlinski and best
friend Steve Centofanti took 1st place honors, but--as these photos clearly demonstrate--the fun and camaraderie of the event inspired many fine results.
