To raise money for New Jersey Battered Women's Services, a local service group based in Morristown, Juniper held a Valentine's Day Sale. Items for purchase were homemade baked goods, stuffed animals, festive sunglasses, and other Valentine-themed goodies. It was a resounding success!!! We even received donations from people who just wanted to support the cause without getting anything in return!

Awaken Your Passion: February Events
This month at Juniper Village we continue our Creative
Expressions Series with a focus on Art.
Creating art for many of our seniors has been a lifelong
passion, for others it may have been a casual hobby or serious vocation.
Whatever the reason, art has substantial benefits to our bodies, minds and
spirits! In Successful Aging, John W. Rowe, MD, and Robert L. Kahn, PhD,
discuss key aspects of successful aging: low risk of disease, high mental and
physical functioning, and being actively engaged in life. Expressive art
activities promote active engagement in life in positive, healthy, and
fulfilling ways - in other words, nurturing the spirit of life. Recent studies
further indicate that older adults who participate in art programs have fewer
doctor visits, use less medication, and experience a lower rate of depression –
all resulting in lower healthcare costs.
Our fabulous activity offerings
this month include our Millburn High School Art Exhibit as students from
Millburn High School meet with Juniper Village Mentors, for this
intergenerational/interactive discussion on art on February 3rd at
3:00 pm; our The Art of Comedy with Uncle Floyd performance in a
not-to-be-missed hilarious comedy spectacular that is sure to make you laugh
your socks off on February 8th at 2:30 pm; our Stories of the
Presidents presentation of facts about the Presidents that will surprise you
with Darrell Ann Murphy, who reveals some of the secrets we never knew on
February 12th at 2:00 pm; or our Brushstrokes lecture where you can
learn everything you wanted to know about impressionist artists as Judith
Ebright returns with a new interpretation on this style on February 19th
at 2:00 pm.
Look through our calendar and plan
to join us this month and “Awaken Your Passion” as we explore various mediums
to expression through weekly art programs and visits to local art museums. Or,
if art isn’t your thing, tailgate with us during the Super Bowl, await the
Ground Hog’s prediction, our join in one of our festive celebrations on
Valentine’s Day, Presidents Day or Mardi Gras.
