Let's Go For a Boat Ride!

On Friday, July 26th 10 residents, Nurse, Julia Barone and Connections Director, Wendy Vaughn took to the high seas of Pymatuning

Lake for a beautiful afternoon of boating. The 21ft. pontoon worked its way around the lake with Vaughn at the helm for nearly 3 hours.
We enjoyed lunch on the water as we took a scenic tour out of the Espyville Boat Livery north and then changed course southward. The
pontoon eagerly "steamed" under the causeway toward the beaches and cabins on the Ohio side. No need for dead reckoning on this day, as
the weather was perfect for the entire  xcursion—sun, breezes and just enough intermittent cloud cover. The day was filled with smiles and reminiscences of earlier times spent enjoying the amenities of the lake with families and friends.

Flower Crafting!

Even on Saturday . . .

Residents Dorothy and Ethyl created beautiful Summertime flower arrangements! Dorothy generally shares her creations with her cousin. Ethyl has quite a personal collection she keeps in her apartment. Both ladies are avid crafters, which enriches hearts, minds, spirits and physical bodies. Each time Ethyl attends a crafting session, the first thing she states is, "I'm not very crafty, but I'm here." Soon after she receives a big laugh from those around her. Ethyl always proves her statement to be false as she leaves with something beautiful.

 

 

 

 

Classic Car Cruise In

The first Friday Night Cruise-In was a success! All of the parking spaces out front were taken by Classics and Hot Rods, so a few participants ventured onto the lawn. The cruisers brought their own chairs scattered about to soak in the evening! Music by Kenton Kovich was enjoyed throughout the entire evening. There were a few cruisers who drove from Fairview because they had "heard about it." The Fairview folks brought their own picnic food and gathered under the huge tree in the front yard!

Yogi from Baer's Corvettes in Linesville gave a guided tour through all of the car...what a super treat!

We even had a few "drive-throughs" from interested passers by and lots of folks slowed down on their way by. Residents were out and about all evening. The porch remained full. They were seated in the yard listening to the music, too. And of course they were walking about the cars. Residents were even seen peering out their bedroom windows, observing the fun from afar.

Exhibitors received our new Juniper bags as Wendy Vaughn, Connections Director toted around the root beer wagon.  Join us each Friday evening at 5pm, weather permitting. The Cruise in is open to the pubilic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Car Show supports the Alzheimer's Association

Residents of Juniper Village at Meadville enjoyed an afternoon on the front lawn as the cars rolled in! The event that accepted donations

for the walk to end Alzheimer's, supporting the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk, raised almost $90. The funds will go towards the Juniper Village walking team. The residents and Associates admired the Juniper Green color, the flashy reds, classic black and the lines of the signed original blue Shelby! Hot dogs and refreshments were served and a basket of car cleaning goodies was given away to the winner...Ross Feltz. Ross is a fellow Rotarian friend of Juniper and owns the Decorating Den with his wife Marie. Other neighbors stopped in for a visit and many passers by slowed to peek in on the excitement. For more information on joining the walk to end Alzheimer's 2013, please call Jennifer Musone at 333.4400.
