Third Annual Flag Day Ceremony at New Pond Village

This year marks the third anniversary of our annual Flag Day Ceremony.  We are fortunate to have local police and fire departments that are willing to lend a hand with the logistics.  This year we also had Sgt. Daniel Clark, aka, "The Singing Trooper" as part of the program.

Aldridge House Family Night

On Thursday, May 30th, residents and family members convened in the Aldridge Activity Room for food, drink and a celebration of family.  It was a wonderful opportunity for the associatates say thank you to the family members that give so much back to our community while welcoming new ideas and suggestions.  It was also a perfect chance for Peter Welsh to educate everyone on the upcoming renovations that will be affecting both Crosbey and Aldridge.  We are hoping to keep this event either an annual or semi-annual occasion. Keep your eyes peeled for the holiday edition of the Aldridge Family Night!
