From Diane’s Desk

Here we are again; another month has come and gone and we are already thinking autumn and holidays. August was a busy month here with lots of entertainment and other fun things. The paint and party has been a success. People seem to be really enjoying that. They are having fun with their artsy side and we have some good painters to be sure.

September 19th- MARK THE DATE!

It’s our annual Classic Car Show. We have such a great turn out of the old classics you don’t want to miss it! DJ Jazzy Karen will be back spinning the records for us and lunch will be available to purchase as well as some raffles. Please join us.

On September 15th our jewelry lady Rita DeFalco will be set up in the Jamestown Lounge from 10 until 4. Nicolas King and Polka Paul will be here this month too.

For now, enjoy what’s left of the summer and…

I hope to see you in Activities
