For the past year this group at Juniper Village has been meeting weekly to get a good old fashion game of poker going. Anyone is welcome to the group, you just have to come with a ,"good sports like attitude," says Jack, one of Juniper Village's residents. "We play for fun and laughs," said Bill, another Juniper resident. Meet us weekly in the activities room, just be prepared to have a good time!
We gave many thanks to our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters and friends this year on Mother's day. It is always a fun fill afternoon, as our associates dress up in Victorian costumes to serve our guests a special blend of tea. Chef Rick out did himself with a beautiful spread of food, perfect for the afternoon tea event. Costumes were provided by Jan's Costumes in Sharpsville. 
And how are we going about doing that you may ask?? Through an exhilarating, effective, easy-to-follow fitness program called Zumba! 
The residents and their families enjoyed welcoming spring at our latest family dinner celebration. The smooth sounds of jazz delighted the dining room as everyone enjoyed the delicious beef wellington that our Chef Rick prepared. One family member stated, " Give your chef a pat on the back for the wonderful dinner!" It is always so nice that everyone could join us for another memorable event. Welcome Spring!
This month at Juniper Village, Debbie from Lifelong Learning has joined us to teach and enhance our painting abilities as we explore creative expression. Debbie brought watercolors for us to try our hand at. Watercolor painting is an art form that creates artistic representations, usually on paper, using pigments that are water-soluble. This month we learned how to paint a waterfall, which is perfect to look at in these cold winter months! Our residents really enjoyed painting with watercolor and look forward to next months lesson. A BIG thank you to Debbie from Lifelong Learning!
Alyse Barr, a community member of Juniper Village at the Shenango Inn, recently spent time at Musser Elementary reading holiday stories to a group of kindergarten children in anticipation of their winter break. Often times our residents have the opportunity to volunteer in our community and this is just one of the many times that our people have made a small difference in the lives of others.
