The Retirement Lifestyle You DeserveNew Year’s Eve Celebrations

New Year’s Eve celebrations started with delicious appetizers and dinner provided by Chef Paul. The Multipurpose Room was decorated and there were party hats and noisemakers for everyone. There was a large mural for photos and music to dance to. It was a great fun-filled evening.

J.A.D.A. came to entertain us with their old-time mu-sic. They are very talented and their music was en-joyed. We look forward to their next visit.

Robbie buRns nightRobbie Burns Night is celebrated annually in Scotland on or around January 25. It commemorates the life of the bard (poet) Robert Burns, who was born on January 25, 1759. The day also celebrates Burns’ contribution to Scottish culture.

To celebrate Robbie Burns at Rotary Villas, Chef Paul prepared the haggis, which is Scotland’s national dish and the crowning glory of a traditional Burns Supper. Don piped in the Haggis amd Peggy performed the address to the haggis. The celebration was completed with a toast with drams of Scotch.

On January 20, Maxine and Harvey Regush moved into Suite 101. They are looking forward to meeting everyone once they get settled in. Early February, Jo-Ann Kshymensky will be moving into Suite 211. Jo-Ann is looking forward to having her own space and where she can be independent.On February 15, Jack Robinson and June Affleck will be moving in to Suite 342. They are looking forward to making new friends and being social.
