Upcoming Events in June

Step right up and… put in your suggestions and ideas to the Life Enrichment Committees’ new boxes.  Resident, Una Thomas, has taken the time to create new suggestion boxes for the campus.  There are two boxes, one located at the entrance of the Life Center and another at the Information Station, located near the Fitness Center.  We encourage you to use these boxes to submit your ideas for trips, interactive programs or just a simple note to share how we are doing.  All events will be discussed at the Life Enrichment Committee meeting, with the goal of putting them into our calendar.  When submitting a trip idea, please be sure it is at least two months in advance to the program date.  This will give us time to plan properly, as we schedule 30 days prior to the upcoming month.

Lights, camera, action!

Join us at our Fourth Annual Variety Show being held in the Life Center on Friday, June 16th at 10AM.  With talent including singing, dancing, poetry reading and more, you will not want to miss it!  We will have some returning talent as well as new talent taking the stage.  Come cheer on fellow residents and enjoy a great time with us all!

Jennifer Jolls will be here on Saturday, June 17th at 3PM in the Life Center, showcasing the talent of young pianists.  The theme of the performance is “Let’s Go to the Movies.”  Jennifer will be sharing the talent of over 16 students who attend her piano lessons year-round.  After the performance, enjoy refreshments and chatting with the performers.  Everyone is encouraged to attend.

Be sure to stop by Igor’s Jam and Jazz Session on Saturday, June 24th at Buckwald’s. With guest entertainers and a great show, you will not want to miss out.  The show will begin at 3PM.  Look for Igor’s small pocket fliers for additional information.

As always, if you have questions, please call Monica at 18526 or Didi at 18473.  We look forward to hearing from you!

Fall is Officially Here and Monica is Back!

Hosanna Rae De La Rosa

If you were wondering where Monica has been for the last month and a half, wonder no more because she is back!  While Monica was out, she welcomed her first baby, Hosanna Rae De La Rosa into the world.  Hosanna’s birthday came 3 weeks early and she still weighed a healthy 5.7 lbs.  If you haven’t seen a picture of her precious baby, you must stop by the Recreation Center and take a look for yourself.  Now that Monica has returned, her hours, days and title have changed.  Monica is now a full time Recreation Specialist and no longer with transportation.  She is here Monday through Friday and no longer Wednesday- Sunday. Church runs will remain the same with another driver.  We would like to personally thank Mireya for helping out while Monica was gone.  Mireya will still be on campus for some time helping out with transportation in the meantime.

Now, time to highlight some events for October!

On Tuesday, October 4th, we will be packing our lunch and heading to the Herberger Lunch Time Theater for a show called “A Little Something Called Family.”  Boarding passes for this event are available at the Welcome Center for $7. You will also want to grab your ticket to the Arizona Broadway Theatre for a show called “Funny Girl.” Boarding passes are $80 and includes lunch.

Come and hear the courageous story of Adolfo “Harpo” Celaya.  Adolfo will share his life story  and how he didn’t speak a word of English when entering the first grade, how he survived one of the most horrific experiences a man could endure with the sinking of the USS Indianapolis, and how he led a band of six Mexican Americans on a rampage through the Arizona state high school basketball championship tournament in 1947.  Adolfo will be speaking on Tuesday, October 25th at 10AM in the Life Center.  All are encouraged to attend.

Our Oktoberfest theme dinner will take place on Thursday, October 27th starting at 5PM.  Entertainment by the Oom-Pah-Pah Band will start at 6PM. Tickets and menu will be available for purchase and viewing in all dining venues closer to the event date.

We will be hosting our second Annual Variety Show on Friday, October 28th, from 10AM-12PM in the Life Center. Come ready to sing along, laugh and enjoy awesome entertainment from our very own residents and staff.
