Veteran's Ceremony

Legion Post 615 honored more than a dozen Veteran's last Saturday. Jennifer Musone, Executive Director states "What an honor to spend my Saturday evening honoring some of our Veterans from Juniper. My husband is an active member of American Legion Post 615. His ties have allowed me to really understand and get to know how wonderful these Veterans are and how they really fought for our country." Stanley Urban and Russ Ingols were two of the Veterans honored that day. The
gentleman currently reside at Juniper Village and remain an active
part in the greater community. Stan has served as a member of Post 615 for 50 years, and Russ has served for 66 years. Post 615 has graciously agreed to initiate a round table program at Juniper Village for our Veterans. Juniper Village is home to approximately 30 Veterans. We welcome the community in for our extended programming! Please look for the date and time in our next newsletter.

A Day for Dad

Driving by the front lawn at Juniper, you couldn't help but notice the family fun happening! To start off the day, friendly games of corn hole were enjoyed by families and residents. We served over 110 people sirloin burgers from Livingston's Quality Meats, Sweet Italian Sausage, tortellini salad, baked beans and cole slaw. For dessert we had homemade strawberry shortcake. Polka music was provided by the Happy Music Trio. The weather was perfect, the food was delicious, and even the neighbors enjoyed the music. This was even more fun than we anticipated! In true Juniper fashion, the gentlemen and their families enjoyed the special attention taken to make this day a special day dedicated to dads!

If you are attending our Friends and Family dinner  event this Thursday, you are in for a special treat! Our very own Chef Erin Gredler is presenting on Summer Sanitation and Safety, and I hear she has a cute little give away for those who come to her presentation at 5:30pm, this Thursday, June 14th.  Dinner is at 4:30pm and RSVPs can be made by calling 333-4400. 

Memorial Day Celebration with Russ

Jennifer Musone, Administrator at Juniper Village at Meadville was very honored to attend a Memorial Day service honoring  Veteran Russ Ingols. Russ was the honorable guest of the ceremony. Russ is the longest standing legioneer member of the American Legion post 615, where he has been a member for 66 years.  In July, Russ is being honored at an awards ceremony in Conneautville.  As a treasured piece, Russ still holds his father's Legion hat from WWI close to him.  He is a loyal and sincere man and we are all honored to have him as a Resident at Juniper; Russ Nurtures our Spirit of Life daily!

Springtime at Juniper!

Spring is showing her beautiful colors here at Juniper Village.  The front gardens are blooming!  As we took a stroll through last weekend, we were able to see mother nature in action!  Our gardening season is underway and the raised garden bed project will soon take shape!  Last year we had some delicious fruits and veggies grow, and we can't forget about the fragrant flowers!  Interested in joining our garden club?  Call today for more information!  333.4400

Happy Anniversary

Another of our happily married couples celebrated an anniversary this month. Harry and June Crabtree rang in their 65th year together!  Thank you for celebrating with us!

Wonderful White Party

Guests were the icing on the cake for this wonderful white party! With the ballroom so beautifully decorated, there was only one more
thing that could make the space shine brighter, the smiles beaming from the mothers, sons and daughters who spent the afternoon celebrating mothers! Pastries, cakes and fresh fruit along with a
decorated photo area, were all created by our own Connections Director, Pam Mitchell. Pam had a vision of what the ballroom would be created to look like, and as the plan was unfolding, somewhere the western sky was shining down on an idea...Pam walked into a shop, while on vacation, and immediately knew the organza was the answer! She had it shipped in for the occasion. Thank you Pam, for preparing such a beautiful venue for our mothers, this season! The celebration truly Nurtured the Spirit of Life!

Elvis is in the Building

Elvis stopped in this week to share in some reminiscent music with the residents of Juniper Village at Meadville.  His blue suede shoes were "all shook up" in our front lobby! Toes were tapping and hands were clapping and you could hear that popular phrase resound..."Elvis is in the Building!"  And we say to you, Elvis: "Thank you very much!"
