Oak Knoll Students Celebrate The Holidays

The holidays came to life with a wonderful performance by the Oak Knoll Choral Ensemble. The ensemble was the most elite vocal group from the school, and they looked lovely in their elegant attire. The students regaled the residents with holiday favorites, and the residents enjoyed chatting with these young ladies as refreshments were served.

Juniper Village Food Drive Nets 500 Pounds of Food!

In November, Juniper Village at Chatham held its annual food drive. Not only did we collect a record setting 500 lbs. of food for the Interfaith Food Pantry, we collected clothing donations for the
victims of Hurricane Sandy. Pictured here are our Resident Ambassadors, who proudly assisted in the collection.

Giraffe Awards 2012

Juniper's annual Giraffe Award ceremony, helmed by our own Lynne Katzman, honored staff members from each department. Diane Coral,
Paul Malgapeur, Bonni McCoy, and Frantz Raymond were recognized for characteristics they share with the giraffe: big hearts and necks wont
to "stick out" to help those in need. Our dining room was filled with good cheer as residents and staff enjoyed delicious red velvet cake and raised glasses of sparkling beverages in toast to a few of
the special people who make life at Juniper a whole lot sweeter.

Thanksgiving Day Feast

Juniper Residents celebrated their Thanksgiving Day Feast with friends and family. Even the Pilgrims would have been proud. The table was lavishly filled with gourmet delights prepared by our chef extraordinaire Frank. Everyone slept well that night with bellies full of Thanksgiving blessings.

Knotty Knitters Donate

The Knotty Knitters Club has donated hats, socks, sweaters and hat sets to a philanthropic group known as "Christmas is for Children".  This charity supports the Battered Women's Shelter and Single Parenting Groups. Our talented knitters have supported this charity for many years with their special handmade gifts.

The Scarlet Ladies visit Juniper

The Morris Plains "Scarlet Ladies" were invited for an afternoon of Tea and Talk. The "Juniper Berries" enjoyed the annual visit to catch up on the events of the past year. Delicious cookies and flavorful teas were passed around. During the course of the afternoon politics were discussed. We should have had the candidates debate at Juniper, they would have met their match!

It Feels Like Autumn

It's beginning to feel a lot like...Halloween around our community.  Juniper has its very own Pumpkin Patch, which mysteriously popped up after an Arts and Crafts session. Seated in our Bistro, is our new friend, Jack O'latern, not too mention all of our beautiful seasonal decorations around our building.
Happy Fall!
