2015 was a wonderful year at
our community and we can't wait
to see what 2016 has in store!
Enjoy our photos below of recent
Holiday and New Year's Celebrations.
On
Friday, December 4, a large crowd enjoyed "Christmas at the White
House" performed by Patricia Perry of Sneak
Peek Productions. Patricia walked us through the grandeur
of the White House at Christmas time, allowing everyone to experience an old-fashioned American Christmas. From Presidents past, we looked at
decorations, trees and ceremony through pictures, words and music.

Sgt. Daniel Clark, The Singing State Trooper, alongside his wife Mary, delivered "A Holiday Extravaganza". The program included seasonal favorites mixed with military salutes and patriotic songs dedicated to the men and women who have served our country. Thank you to Dan and Mary for a spectacular afternoon that got everyone in the holiday spirit!

There were lots of laughs during Sgt. Clark's version of Mr. Grinch! |

Boo got a real kick out of being serenaded by The Singing Trooper! |
New Year's Eve Eve is a favorite tradition among the residents and this year did not disappoint. The dance floor was full the entire evening with David Burbank and his orchestra playing all the favorites on our stage. Bob Hill and the New Pond Village kitchen staff prepared a delicious buffet including shrimp cocktail, hearty fruit and cheese platters and scallops wrapped in bacon. Marilyn worked hard from behind the bar to ensure that everyone had a drink or two and dancers from the Metronome Ballroom in Bellingham kept everyone's dance card full.
