Suddenly a new year is here! It’s hard to believe that 2016 has come and gone. I hope you had a happy and healthy year that carries on throughout 2017. We ended the year with a bang with two New Year’s Eve parties. ES was hosted by M ARCIA N ELSON & A LICE H EUPLE . LP was hosted by H ERB and M ELITA S TRANDBERG . Both were well done and everyone had a great time. January looks like it will be keeping you busy with a variety of special events such as the Ladies’ Luncheon, a Jazz Jam concert with talented singers and band, Five Guys Ribs by Dan Rib Dinner, the Rock Around the Clock Dinner Dance and a Chinese New Year Dinner and Dance. We will offer some new and, we hope, enjoyable events this season. Along with our usual Saturday night events, we will be offering more concerts. We are really excited to get going. Be sure to look for our emails, flyers, channel 98, our calendar, website and, of course, the ORACLE for information on upcoming events. I hope you will enjoy the rest of the season. The Activities department is currently (if not always) looking for volunteers to get involved with our committee and or get involved with our events. Our activities are as successful as our residents make them. There is always room for you to help with simple tasks like folding napkins and setting tables to actually hosting an event. Stop by the Activities Office and let us know how you can help.
