Who’s Ready for May?

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.

Open Game Room Event

Open Game Room Event

Open Game Room will be taking place on Saturday, June 25th in the Plaza View Lobby from 12-4PM. This is an opportunity for anyone to use the PV Lobby during this time to meet with friends, family or group and play their favorite board games. We are encouraging you to use this space, as it is blocked off for folks so that you do not need to set up a room reservation or find a place that isn’t being used. You can bring a game of your own or choose from our selection. Join in on some good ol’ fun!

Our very first Pet Chat and Blessing takes place on Thursday, June 30th in the Recreation Center from 10:30AM-12:00PM. This is your chance to share unique stories about your pet and how you ended up with your furry friend. We all know that pets turn into family. Why not share that with other pet lovers? A Pet Blessing (upon your request) will be after the chat. Pets are welcome during our chat, but we ask that if you have a cat, having a cat carrier may be best. Otherwise, a picture to share is recommended, but not required.

As Town Hall has been moved to Wednesday, June 29th, I want to remind you that Gregory’s Farmers Market will also be here on this day! Take this time and grab all your fruits and veggies for a great price!

Keep on the lookout for events and outings for July! Trips to the Arizona Science Center, AMC Theater at Westgate, Arrowhead Mall, Adult Coloring and more are all in store! For any questions on upcoming events or if you have a suggestion, stop by or slip a note in the Idea Box located in the Recreation Center. *
