With that said, the overall feeling here at New Pond Village appears to be one of joyfulness and community. Parties, gatherings and events of late - all celebrating different occasions - have lifted moods and spirits in such a way that even the most frigid New England weather cannot compete with.
Below you will find photos beginning with Halloween and ending with our annual tree lighting ceremony that took place just last Thursday at the gazebo.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all!

HALLOWEEN 2014
 |
| Is that Dining Services Director Bob Hill? Look closely...New Pond Village resident Chuck Fagan makes a terrific stunt double for our Executive Chef! |
 |
| As John Rampino played music during the social hour, residents could be found dancing in the streets! |
 |
| Witches, witches everywhere... Lucky for us they are all good witches! |
 |
| The crowd was so large for the Halloween Social, the dancing spilled out of the Village Club and onto Main Street. VETERAN'S DAY 2014
It has become an annual tradition each Veteran's Day to honor residents of New Pond Village that served in the military. The Vibrant Living & Dining Services departments work together to provide a gourmet luncheon exclusive to veterans. The day began with a cocktail hour where attendees were encouraged to bring memorobilia from their time in the service. The room quickly filled with residents sharing stories of the past as guitarist and vocalist J.D. Foster played patriotic music in the background. Following the cocktail hour, everyone was ushered into a reserved section of the dining room for a delicious lunch prepared by our talented Dining Services team. The day concluded with a sing-along concert with vocalist and pianist Cici Hunt leading the way. Thank you all for your service.

Residents were transported into a magical display of color and childhood memories and experienced a truly enchanting time at the Museum.
