Active Aging Week: Explore the Possibilities

Mon, September 26, 2016 Published by

aawlogohi-res2016Active Aging Week 2016, “Explore the Possibilities”, has officially begun!! We hope everyone comes out and attends as many events as possible, takes advantage of the food and drinks, and, most importantly, has fun and get to know your neighbors!  The Life Enrichment Department would like to thank Nancy Campbell, Sherwin Block, Naomi Oglesby, Bonny Hoffman, Farrell Kenimer, Bob Longoni, and Igor Glenn for their time and effort in making this week a success!

Each day has a different theme and we also have suggestions on what type of attire to wear for the day. Back by popular demand, we will start off each day by meeting in front of the Bistro for our Community Walk.  We have a goal for Beatitudes Campus to walk 150 total miles by Friday during the morning Community Walk. We will need to average 30 miles per day.  The more community members we have the faster we will achieve this goal!

  • Monday, wear Purple and White to show your support to end Alzheimer’s.
  • Tuesday is Retro Rewind – Dress how you would have in the decade you were born.
  • Wednesday is Tie Dye day – Let’s make this campus colorful!
  • Thursday wear Sports Attire – Wear your favorite sport’s team’s attire or your workout clothes.
  • Friday is wear High School/College gear – Show your high school or college pride!  Please dress up if you would like and have some fun with these ideas!!

During this week, Beatitudes celebrates Mind, Body and Spirit with the different programs throughout the week. Use this week to get out and try something new, whether it be at the Campus or while you are out with friends and family. Celebrate all the positives we have going on in our lives and all for which we are thankful.  Tell/show someone in your life how much you appreciate everything they do for you and be happy! Enjoy the week!! *

Spring is in the air and that means our next Buzy Bee bazaar is coming up shortly! The sale will take place on Thursday, April 14th from 10AM-2PM outside the Bistro facing Plaza North. The Buzy Bees have been working hard at creating new crafts for the sale that you surely won’t want to miss. Not only will we have crafts available but there will also be ceramics for sale and those yummy baked goods. This is the time of the year that we ask for baked good donations from residents and staff on campus. If you are interested in donating one of your specialties, we ask that you call Didi at x8473 or Monica at x8526 and let us know what you will be contributing for the sale.

Not only is the sale taking place but there is so much more to come in April. We all know the song “Take Me Out to The Ballgame” right? The Diamondbacks’ regular season is also upon us and we will be hitting Chase Field on Wednesday, April 6th to see the D-Backs take on the Colorado Rockies. Boarding passes for this trip will be available at the Welcome Center for $45.00.
Arizona Broadway Theatre Presents: The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas – we will be heading to the Broadway Theatre on Saturday, April 16th to catch this fun musical. Boarding passes are available at the Welcome Center for $68.00. Lunch is included in the fee. Ready, Set.. GO get those tickets!

Are you a Veteran from WWII? If so, we will be hosting our very first organizational meeting Saturday, April 2nd at 2PM in the Admin. Conference Room. No need to sign up, we want to welcome you and meet together.

Look for all the other upcoming events such as…

Fashion Square Mall, The Chinese Cultural Center, The Phoenix Symphony Pops & Coffee Classics, The John Waddell Sculpture Garden in Cornville, Arizona, Cliff Castle Casino, Wells Fargo History Museum and much more! Look out for the synopsis sheets as well that are distributed the first week of the month. These sheets have all the details about the trips, including where to sign up, if a boarding pass is needed and numbers to call with any questions. They are located in the main lobby of your building where the weekly sheets are placed.
As always, if you have an idea, suggestion or want to join in on creating the fun, slip a note in our idea box located outside of the Recreation Office. Happy Spring! *
