Asbury Park
It was another perfect day for our second trip to the shore...this time our destination was Asbury Park. We had a terrific lunch at McClunes, followed by a stroll on the boardwalk and yummy ice cream cones. We are so lucky to have such nice beaches so close to home!

FORE!
We have a new addition to our Juniper sports program - our putting tournament! The putting green was a suggestion by one of our residents, and we have gotten a great response. We will have a weekly contest, and will announce a winner at the end of six weeks. Residents get points for this 3 par green, and the winner with the most points will receive a prize. FORE!

Ice Cream Social
What do you do on a nice, hot day? How about an ice cream social with your Best Friend! We gathered in the bistro, residents and Best Friends, to be served cold, refreshing ice cream sundaes with all the fixings - chocolate sauce, melted caramel, and whipped cream - by Alice and Maryann from the Connections Department, and Nicole, a 7th grade volunteer from Chatham. Yum!

Breathe in Life: August Events
Our Alive in All Seasons’ theme for August is The
Environment. Our communities will focus their efforts on maintaining healthy
environments through environmentally conscious activities. Our “Green Canopy”
program emphasizes designing and operating buildings that meet new standards of
environmental sustainability. We are proud to be the first long-term care
company with a building in the US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design (LEED) program.
According to research by Go Green, Americans throw away 2.5
million plastic bottles every hour; 25 billion Styrofoam cups and 40 billion
soft drink bottles and cans each year. Eighty-four percent of the average
American’s household trash can be recycled. If we recycled just 1/10 of our
newspapers 25 million trees could be saved. Are we all doing our part?
Join us this month as we learn more about the environment,
expand our wide-scale recycling program, learn more about environmental
sustainability programs and work with our community Green Teams to promote our
“Green Canopy” initiative. We encourage you to accompany us on this
environmental journey so that we can all continue to Breathe in Life!
Our fabulous activity offerings this month include our Back Roads of Morris County lighthearted look at local history with Jim DelGiueice on August 7th at 2:00 pm; our Snakes and Scales presentation featuring alligators, pythons and more that were once injured and vulnerable, but have been rescued and tendered to with great love on August 14th at 2:00 pm; our Shred for Charity to clean out those files for a $5.00 charge for a standard box with all proceeds benefiting St. Hubert’s Animal Shelter on August 16th from 9:00 am to noon; or our Mother Nature is Telling Us Something skit by Darrell Ann Murphy, a professional storyteller, relating stories about our changing environment and how it affects our everyday lives on August 19th at 7:00 pm. Take a look at our calendar and join us for any and all activities that will help you make the most of these last few weeks of summer.

Concert Under The Stars
We enjoyed a gorgeous day of sunshine and pleasant temperatures, so
everyone was looking forward to our "concert under the stars" with a
performance by the Chatham Community Band. Unfortunately, just as the
band was setting up, there was a huge downpour, and the event had to
be quickly moved indoors to the dining room. But the rain didn't
dampen our spirits, and the concert for residents and community
members was a great success!

New Resident Luncheon with our Executive Director
This month, our new residents were invited to a special luncheon with
our Executive Director Joann Malanga. The residents and Joann got to
know each other a little better, and she addressed any questions or
concerns they had as they got used to their new home. Also, it was
standing room only for our first trip to the shore this summer! After
a pleasant lunch the Breakers in Spring Lake, residents strolled the
boardwalk and soaked up some sun. Freddy set a Juniper
record after having saved a whopping total of 1,007 Bingo Bucks!!!
