We hosted an afternoon of silk flower arranging, enjoyed an afternoon with the talented Trio Cleonice at our monthly Sunday Music Festival, spent an evening dancing with the David Burbank Orchestra and visited the Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton - just to name a few!
We hope you enjoy the many photos of the above mentioned programs and more featured below...
SILK FLOWER ARRANGING
In an attempt to channel spring and update our collection of silk flower arrangements, the Vibrant Living Department purchased new flowers and containers and called on residents to help arrange the beautiful arrangements that are now displayed throughout the community corridors and common areas. We thank each and every one of you for your help!

| Gail, our go-to for all things green, has been a tremendous help with anything related to flowers, centerpieces, landscaping, etc. Thank you Gail!!! |

SUNDAY MUSIC FESTIVAL
featuring
TRIO CLEONICE
Trio Cleonice, the dynamic young Boston-based piano trio,
has established itself as one of the most creative, communicative, and
exhilarating ensembles in the United States today, delighting audiences
across the country and the world with its innovative programming and the
sheer joy of its music-making. The Trio recently won second prize win at the Alice and Eleonore
Schoenfeld International String Competition in Harbin, China. A delightful afternoon of beautiful music was had by all.

DANCING AND DRINKS
with
THE DAVID BURBANK ORCHESTRA
After the success of the New Year's Eve party, residents made it clear that they wanted more events that include dancing and drinks - and we delivered! We plan to continue this trend with additional events, two are already scheduled for May and September!

MEN'S BREAKFAST
Every so often we round up all of the men and encourage them to come to a Men's Only Breakfast. The latest installment featured a brief talk from our Executive Director, Bill McGinley.
HOT CHOCOLATE BAR
Residents (and associates!) enjoyed an opportunity to garnish their hot chocolate with delicious toppings on a cold, winter afternoon.

| Toppings included marshmallow, white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, heath bits, mint chocolate bits and dark chocolate wafers. |
FULLER CRAFT MUSEUM
Fuller Craft Museum is a dynamic environment where craft is displayed through a variety of exhibits. Our group was particularly interested in "Toothpick World." Utilizing a toolkit of just toothpicks and Elmer’s Glue, New York’s Stan
Munro uses his ingenuity to construct precise 1:164 scale reproductions
of architectural masterworks and world-renowned structures seen below.

That's all for now - stay tuned for photos of what is sure to be a VERY busy March!
