Hello March!

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

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!*

 

Have You Seen What’s Coming Up?

Our 3rd Annual Resident Art Show is just around the corner and if you have never been to our resident art show, you won’t want to miss it!  From wood work to ceramics, photography to acrylic/water paintings, sewing to knitting and much more, it’s always such inspiration to see the talent.  The art show will be taking place on Thursday, February 9th from 10AM-4PM and Friday, February 10th from 10AM-2PM in the Life Center.  Please take time to pass on through and enjoy the art show with your neighbors.  Some pieces will be available for purchase.  30 percent of all sales are then donated to the Resident Assistance Fund on campus.  We hope to see you there!

Valentine’s Day is here!  Join us for our Dancing with the Stars dinner on Tuesday, February 14th in the Life Center.  We will be celebrating with the 11 piece Havin’ Fun Band with dinner included.  Tickets are limited and must be purchased before the dinner (prior to Feb. 13th). You can find tickets at all dining venues on campus beginning Tuesday, February 7th for $11.00.

If you missed the first Game Classes for All with Marc Adelman, be sure to make the next one! Marc will be teaching folks how to play Rummy Cube. If you would like to join the group and just play, that’s fine with us!  The next class will be taking place on Wednesday, February 15th at 10AM in the Recreation Center. No sign up required, just show up.

Interested in showcasing your furry friend at our upcoming Dog Show? Please contact Didi Cruz at x18473 for details. This is a fun event with resident judges, treats for your pet and prizes to win! We’d love to have you!

A few changes have been made since our February Synopsis was distributed.  The Paradise Valley Community College Readers Theatre Group performance of “Misconceptions” scheduled for Friday, February 24th, has been cancelled.

Also, the movie and lunch trip scheduled for Tuesday, February 28th has been cancelled due to the Black History Month Celebration taking place on campus the very same day.  This trip will be rescheduled in March. Please make note of these changes and we look forward to bringing them back to the calendar.

For any questions, please call Didi at x18473 or Monica at x18526.
