Awaken Your Passion: February Events

This February our Alive in All Seasons’ theme is Art: “Awaken Your Passion”. In a moving quote from Honoré de Balzac we are reminded that art and passion are inextricably linked; he states, “passion is universal humanity; without it, religion, history, romance and art would be useless.” Art is truly a conduit that allows us to experience the richness and brilliance of all that life has to offer. Art can have a profound effect upon us by providing nourishment to our spirit and soul.

As you know there is always something special going on here at Juniper Village at Chatham and this February we will celebrate another wonderful month filled with memories, laughter and the opportunity to create! This month we will open ourselves to various forms of art. We will be taking field trips to local museums, learning about the Great Masters, and creating masterpieces of our own using various mediums.

Please join us for our The Women Behind the Men historical presentation on former first ladies from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm on February 11^th, our Millburn High School Art Exhibit from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm on February 11^th, and our Some Like It Hot Marilyn Monroe Impersonation at 7:00 pm on February 14^th. We encourage you to review our newsletter calendar for other offerings and attend any or all of the activities that are of interest to you.

Come get together with us for our Alive in All Seasons programs this February and Awaken Your Passion!

The Most Wonderful Concert of All

Today at Juniper Village we were all treated to the joyful choir of
the 1st graders at St. Vincent School. Although it was only 4 degrees
outside, inside their fabulous voices warmed the hearts of our residents.
All 44 first graders came prepared. After they sang, the children went
around and read to our residents. They also passed out valentine's notes
and worked on puzzles. It made a bitter day warm and bright!

Homespun Gifting

Who doesn't love a homemade gift for the holidays? Our residents had
a great time putting together Rainbow Bean Soup kits, which were not
only colorful, but will surely warm their loved-ones hearts and
tummies this season.
