Hello March!

Mon, March 12, 2018 Published by

Did you make it out to our 4th Annual Resident Art Show? If not, you missed a good one! Entertainment by Paul Sherman Thursday night had the mood set while folks walked through the show and Anthony Farias put icing on the cake with a live painting demo on Friday morning. Of course, we could not have done it without the fascinating artists we have here on campus. Marble printed pillows, scarfs and more on display, along with woodcarvings, oil, acrylic, pen and pencil pieces, handmade crafts/ cards, ceramics, quilts and much more were on display. With an estimated number of 200+ folks who walked through and purchased items, we would like to thank you for your support. I would also like to thank each of the artists who participated in the show and displayed their talent! We cannot wait to do it again next year!

Be on the lookout for the upcoming Dog Show on Thursday, April 12th. The show will begin at 10:30AM in the Dog Park. If you are interested in registering your dog for the show or being a judge for the show, please call me at x18473 to sign up. This show is all in good fun! Deadline to register your dog or to be a judge is Friday, March 23rd.

Be sure to stop by and enjoy presentations from Art All Around Us every Tuesday in the Boardrooms at 1PM. The upcoming chats include:

  • Tuesday, March 13th—50 Shades of Red
  • Tuesday, March 20th—Chinese Porcelain
  • Tuesday, March 27th—Art Over Adversity

These chats are free and open to everyone on the campus.

Our Arizona Diamondbacks regular season is upon us as well! The games are as follows:

  • Wednesday, April 4th—Vs, Dodgers at 11:45AM (Deadline to sign up is Friday, March 23rd)
  • Wednesday, May 16th—Vs, Brewers at 11:45AM (Deadline to sign up is Friday, May 4th)

  • Tuesday, July 31st—Vs, Rangers at 11:45AM- Deadline to sign up is Monday, July 17.

Help us meet our 9 person minimum by encouraging your friends to join you. If we do not meet our 9 person minimum, we will gladly offer help in setting up an Uber or Lyft with your small group at your expense. It is much more enjoyable to attend with a large group, so please invite away!*

 

While I Am Out

Wed, July 5, 2017 Published by

As maternity leave is quickly approaching, I have been asked, “Who will take over while you are away?” With Monica and I both out, Jon Schilling will be housing in our office and taking over minor duties while we are away for three months enjoying our baby boys. He will be available to answer questions and take phone calls. You can contact him directly at x10333 or by email at [email protected].

Monica and I have been planning the last 6 months, laying out our jobs and working closely with our Life Enrichment Committee to ensure everything runs smoothly during this temporary transition. With that being said, the Life Enrichment Committee has worked hard in planning the next four months of the calendar along with us. Theme dinners, off campus trips and on campus events will go on as normal. The monthly synopsis sheets will continue to be posted in a larger edition of the Roadrunner. There, you will find detailed descriptions of each event, such as tickets prices (if any), where to sign up, location, departure time or time events start. Events will also be posted in the weekly Roadrunner and Monthly Calendar.

EVENTS TO LOOK FOR IN JULY
Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Braves on Wednesday, July 26th. The ticket prices can range from $40 to 45 depending on how many folks sign up. We are still looking for 4 more sign ups in order to take this trip. Deadline to sign up is Wednesday, July 5th. You will need to call x18473 to put your name on the list.

The Herberger Lunchtime Show, Sugar Bowl Ice Cream, Arizona Heritage Center, Paradise Valley Mall and more are scheduled! Bruce Pulk will be doing a two-hour chat series on the Phoenix Symphony’s upcoming performances on Friday, July 21st from 10AM-12PM and an hour chat on Friday, July 28th. You won’t want to miss it!

Also for questions or to sign up for Southwest Mobility, feel free to leave a voicemail at x18473. The voicemail will be checked regularly.

Who’s Ready for May?

Mon, May 1, 2017 Published by

Do you have your tickets for the Cinco de Mayo theme dinner? If not, you’ll want to head to the Bistro to purchase your ticket and check out the menu right away.  Ticket purchase cut off will be Wednesday, May 3rd so hurry!

If you haven’t signed up for the Arizona Diamondbacks game against the White Sox, you will want to call and sign up now.  Cut off to sign up for this game is Monday, May 8th.  The game will take place on Wednesday, May 24th at Chase Field.  You will enjoy great seats, amazing food vendors and a great time with your fellow neighbors. To sign up, call x18473.

Ever wonder what it’s like to take a trip on the Light Rail?  If so, now is your chance to sign up. We will be heading to City Scape for lunch located in Downtown Phoenix.  You will have the chance to walk the area and explore before heading back to campus. Boarding passes are available at the Welcome Center for $2.  There will be a limit of 14 residents to come on this outing.

Lifelong Learners will be hosting their Open House on Monday, May 8th from 1-2PM in the Life Center and registration to follow on Monday, May 15th from 9AM-1PM in the Life Center.  Use this time to attend the Open House and learn about the upcoming classes that will be offered during the Summer Semester.  Instructors or a Lifelong Learners committee member will be available to answer any questions you may have regarding a specific class.  Again, the Open House is not where you will register. Registration will be the following Monday on the 15th. This is where you will want to bring your registration form and form off payment filled out and ready.  You’ll want to show up early to avoid missing the cut off for any classes you are interested in taking.

If you missed out on the monthly birthday party in April, you surely missed a good one!  Elvis was out to entertain and showed us a great time with his famous rhythm sticks.   If you haven’t noticed, our monthly birthday parties have moved into the Agelink Great Hall for more room.  Our next birthday party will be on Monday, May 22nd at 3PM with Bill Joswick.  If you have never seen Bill in action, you will want to make sure you attend.  Everyone is welcome to celebrate the birthday parties with us.  The more, the merrier they say!

Keep on the lookout for all the May events on and off campus.  Events can be found on the monthly synopsis sheets, in the Roadrunner or on the large May calendar.  We look forward to seeing you at the many upcoming events.
