Annual Friends and Family Picnic

Juniper Village was host to over 225 Family, Friends and Residents at our Annual Friends and Family Picnic!  The preparations began in the early evening of Friday night, as the pig was slowly roasted overnight to perfection!  The morning was full of Associates and Volunteers making the final preparations as guests flooded in with their delicious desserts in hand.  Chef Erin expertly carved the pig and delivered a culinary selection of traditional picnic foods and various summer salads. 

The musical entertainment provided hours of delightful tunes.  As the afternoon progressed, the winners of the gift baskets for the raffle were called out.  The picnic raffle raised $265 for the Retired and Senior Volunteer Programs annual Volunteer Dinner.  The weather couldn't have been more pleasant...warm with a nice breeze.  The Jungle theme was a hit as folks stood and captured a funny moment behind the Jane and Tarzan poster.  As we celebrate friendship month, we were fortunate to have our Friends and Family present for this bountiful picnic celebration.  A special thank you to our friends at Allegheny College for lending the tables and chairs.  Allegheny never misses an opportunity to support our Juniper Community, whether it be the tables or the Student Volunteers they provide throughout the year!  Thank you all for sharing your time with us and we look forward to seeing you all for our Classic Car Cruise on October 2nd!  Mark your calendars from 1-4 pm.
