Happy Valentine’s Day
Love is in the Air
Our staff has put together a calendar of activities and culinary delights to allow our residents to celebrate in whatever way suits them best.
- Kicking off the day in our beautifully renovated Great Room, Tina will lead our Valentine Social, where special memories and sweet treats will be shared.
- Lovely themed decorations make our dining room festive. Lunch will feature Chef Mike’s Valentine’s Hot Chocolate, a resident favorite, as well as a choice of rack of lamb or salmon.
- Bob LaValley will be back by popular demand with song and dance in the Great Room.
- The day wraps up with two movies in the evening: The Best of Me, a romantic drama starring James Marsden and Michelle Monaghan, and Annie Hall, the classic romantic drama starring Diane Keaton and Woody Allen.
