Jazz at Juniper!


Residents and Guests gathered for Jazz music accompanied by the smooth sounds of our very own Donald F. Breneman's guitar.  Don can be found accompanying in clubs in Pittsburgh when not offering his talents to his friends at Juniper Village.  Associates at Juniper often enjoy sharing talents and staying connected to our communities.  Don is our Regional Director of Operations, however, last Friday, he was our guest musician in celebration of Music month!  We welcome musical talents in our community.  Please call Pam at 333.4400 to inquire about volunteering your musical talents!  A special thank you to Don for exploring creative expression and celebrating Music month with us!

Congratulations to Doug Koehler for winning the marketing give-away.  Buying local is not out of the ordinary for this family...Doug didn't hesitate when offered the Gift Card from the Market House.  Stop by the Market House upstairs in the Gallery to appreciate the works of some local artists too.  As we transition into Art Month at Juniper in February, visit our Art show in the Ballroom from February 20th-24th.  The show will be open 8am to 8pm each day with a special artist reception on February 24th from 5-7pm.  Interested in displaying your art?  Call us today!  Call 333.4400 and ask for Pam.

Juniper Village at Meadville Drumming!


Click the following link to see us in action!

You Tube Video!

The sounds of methodical drumming resonated through the community last week when Cootie Harris presented on the therapeutic qualities of drumming! Residents and community members gathered for the program, which evolved into a full drumming circle. A Conga line even erupted as residents felt the groove. Cootie has provided our Residents with Tai Chi demonstrations in the past and when we thanked him for this program, he said "I am the one having fun," and he thanked us! Cootie
really enjoys giving back to the community and we look forward to seeing him again. The Conga drum that was being offered to a winner, was donated back to the Residents by the community members. They felt the drum belonged in the Juniper Family. Join us as we continue celebrating music month on January 27th from 4-6pm. We are hosting Guitar Jazz music by Donald F. Breneman and a wine tasting.

Happy New Year

We rang in the new year this year in style!  A grand balloon drop signified the beginning of the new year!  We held this celebration at the stroke of noon, and toasted with some sparkling cider!  Wellness Director, Carol Perrin served as guest photographer, and we think she did a fantastic job capturing the moments that made us smile!  Thanks Carol!  Juniper Village fosters a family environment, and we encourage the talents of each resident and associate, when we discover them...Carol, perhaps you will enter some photographs in our upcoming art show in February???
