Appraisal Day at Juniper Village at Chatham
This past weekend at Juniper Village was an exciting look into the past as we shared our family treasures with appraisers from the Cool Home Consignment shop. The four appraisers, who had combined experience of a hundred years or more, spent the morning looking over items ranging from ivory carvings and jewelry to paintings. It was so interesting to hear how our residents and members from the community came to own these treasures, and despite learning their value, no one was willing to part with them. The sentimental value was priceless.

Juniper Village at Chatham's First Glee Club Performance
Columbus Day was very special here at Juniper Village at Chatham as we witnessed the inaugural performance of our new Glee Club. Our Glee Club decided to take advantage of the fact that a presentation on Christopher Columbus was scheduled, by making their debut prior to it. Dressed patriotically in Red, White and Blue, they were on pins and needles until their accompanist, a resident's daughter, arrived, but despite their nervousness, they rallied and sang enthusiastically. Their program was short but heavy on National pride as they sang You're a Grand Old Flag, America the Beautiful, and the Star Spangled Banner. The club harmonized, and the audience even joined in for a few verses. A wonderful time was had by all.

October 2016 Events in Chatham, NJ: Show Your Colors
As we say good bye to Indian summer, we welcome the cooler
air and slower pace of the autumn season. From warm apple cider, everything
pumpkin and end of season hiking trips, there are so many reasons to enjoy
autumn. William Cullen Bryant says it best, “Autumn, the year’s last, loveliest
smile.” With the seasonal changes now in full swing we see fall flowers
appearing where summer blooms once stood and leaves changing into vibrant
shades of yellow, orange and red. The evening air has a slight chill and
carries the scent of campfires, leaves and cinnamon spice. Our activities turn
from swimming and baseball to raking leaves and football. Not only is Mother
Nature showing her colors, but we begin to show our team colors with a focus on
sports! Join us throughout the month as we bond over sporting events while
cheering on our favorite teams, complete with tailgate parties and snacks.
Throughout October we will show our colors as we sponsor and
support local sports teams. We will honor our associates who show their colors
by “nurturing the spirit of life” with The Juniper Spirit awards. Alas, October
would not be complete without celebrating the season with our annual Halloween
Costume Party, which is open to ghosts and goblins of all ages. Join us this
month and Show Your Colors!
